Abstract

Objective : This article aims to study the effect of operational risk management on the performance of banks in the WAEMU zone. \n Methodology: To achieve this objective, we used the PMG estimator applied to panel data of WAEMU banks. Four banks per country were selected excepted Guinea-Bissau due to lack of data over the study period. \n Results : The results show that risk variables have a different effect on different types of performance. Reserves and debt ratio have a negative effect on return on equity (ROE) but a positive effect on current operating profitability (EBE). Depreciation increases return on equity but decreases profitability from current operations. \n Originality : This study contributes to the understanding of the effect of operational risk management according to the type of performance of banks in the WAEMU zone. This can help policy makers take appropriate measures to improve bank performance.
