Abstract: Our study focuses on the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on the performance of banks. Our basic idea is that several determinants of the board of directors could affect the profitability of banks. We conducted an econometric study using an estimate by panel data from a sample of 66 French banks observed over the period 2015-2019. Thus, our research aims to see more closely the nature of the relationship between these banks governance mechanisms and banking performance. The results demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between gender diversity and profitability. In addition, we found a positive impact of the independence of directors on profitability while the impact of the duality of the CEO has negative and significant effects on the profitability of the bank. We also use the Newey-West estimator and the method of weighted last square to confirm the relationship between corporate governance and banking profitability.
