Abstract: The study examined the effect of the presence of female directors in the board and other board characteristics like board size independence of directors CEO duality and meetings attended by directors. The Panel data analysis is used by taking a sample of 21 Pakistani banks and 52 Chinese banks. The results of this study reveal that some board features like board size and independence of directors have a significant effect on banks’ performance both in Pakistan and China. But other board variables like CEO duality and female director presence have insignificant impact on the performance of Pakistani and Chinese banks. These results are consistent with earlier studies.
