Abstract

This research analyzes the determinants of the financial performance of the main Moroccan banking subsidiaries operating in the WAEMU zone, comprising ten subsidiaries that belong to the three major Moroccan banking groups (AWB, BOA, and BCP). Using a panel data econometric approach, the study estimates fixed and random effects models to identify the significant impact of internal variables such as loan volume, balance sheet size, and credit risk on profitability (measured by ROA and ROE). In contrast, macroeconomic variables appear to play a less decisive role. The findings provide strategic insights for Moroccan banks seeking to optimize their expansion in West Africa.
