Abstract: In the East and North Africa region, nearly 70% of adults (168 million) do not report any ownership of the account in the Arab world, which is lagging behind other regions. The importance of financial inclusion lies in its impact on the economy of countries, economic growth, financial sector development, and improving financial sector stability. This study aims to diagnose the relationship between financial inclusion and performance of banks in Algeria and Tunisia during 2004–2012 by using the panel data and the GMM method. Our results under static or dynamic panel data analysis show the negative impact of financial inclusion on profitability indicators (ROA, ROE and NIM). We conclude that financial inclusion decreases the profitability of banks. This result reinforces the role of lack of financial inclusion or financial exclusion in the non-development of the banking sector and the non-promotion of economic growth in Algeria and Tunisia. Keywords: financial inclusion; financial exclusion; performance of banks; CAMEL; Algeria; Tunisia; GMM; financial sector; panel data; regression analysis.

In the theoretical background the profitability and performance of banking sector will decrease in oil exporter countries; if crude prices fall; because these countries will suffer from falling revenues, unemployment rates rise and economic growth slows.This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and the performance of banks. Using the regression model with unbalanced panel data analysis at the level of four Arab Maghreb countries (Algeria-Libya-Tunisia-Morocco) over the period 1997-2013. Our results indicate that there is a negative relationship significant between oil prices and profitability (NIM, ROAA); and a significant negative relationship between inflation and profitability (NIM, ROAA)of banking sectors in the Arab Maghreb countries in the study.The relationship between oil prices and loans is a positive and not significant.There is a relationship between GDP and profitability (NIM, ROAA) of banking sectors in the Arab Maghreb countries is positive and no significant. This results not change under the three methods POLS, fixed effects and random effects. The acceptance of random effects model shows that the relationship varies from one country to another, due to the different characteristics of each economy and varied under time.
