Abstract: The objective of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the unstudied effects of energy price shocks on the banking sector. Specifically, the aim is to analyse the effect of energy shocks on the performance of 14 banks established in Cameroon over the 2015-2022 period. Two banking performance indicators were mobilized. These are return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). We obtain results documenting the asymmetrical relationship between energy shocks and banking performance in Cameroon.
