Abstract: This paper examines the impact of ownership structure and other relevant factors on the variability of bank performance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It highlights a sector of the MENA economy rarely investigated in such details in the past despite its tremendous importance for future growth and stability in the region. Among its results, the paper found majority foreign-owned private banks, especially MENA foreign-owned banks, performed significantly better than other types of banks. It also found stock or publicly traded banks, as well as the extent of overall foreign bank presence in a respective banking industry, to be associated with relatively better performance.
