Abstract
The main objective of this research is to investigate the moderating effect
of capital adequacy on the association between governance mechanisms and
bank risks. Which, secondary data for 12 selected banks of the listed banks on
the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) for a period from 2012 to 2020 with 108
observations was used. This research focuses mainly on two governance
mechanisms which are ownership structure and board of directors’
characteristics. Each of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and
ownership concentration-as an ownership structure pillars. While, board size,
CEO duality, board independency and gender diversity -as a board of directors’
characteristics. Concerning, capital adequacy is proxied by CAR; besides, bank
risk is measured by Z-score. Multiple regression is used to test the research
hypotheses and reach the results. The research findings reveal that large capital
adequacy the less negative association between managerial ownership and bank
risk. In addition, the results confirm that the larger the bank capital adequacy
with greater board size, non- CEO duality, high board independency and large
female presence the lower the bank risk. On the contrary side, capital adequacy
has an insignificant impact on each of the association between institutional
ownership and ownership concentration with bank risk.
