The financial structure of the bank is playing an important role in determining its performance. In addressing the relationship between bank's capital structure and the performance EL-Chaarani &EL-Abiad (2019) found that the performance is influential by the capital structure. In addressing the issue in the Middle East at post crisis era (2011-2016), the authors found that short term debt and total debt affect ROTA negatively, but they have a positive effect on the ROE. In a study conducted by Taani (2013), to examine the impact of capital structure on the performance of banks in the Jordanian economy, the research findings revealed that both ROE and net profit are affected significantly by the total debt. Saeed, Gull and Rasheed; 2013 investigated the impact of financial structure on performance of banks in Pakistan during the period (2007-2011). The study was built around many independent variables such as total debt, and size. ROTA and ROE were used to determine the performance as well as EPS. The study provides an evidence on a positive relationship between the size of the bank and the three dependent variables ROTA, ROE and EPS. Swai1 et al (2016) studied 14 banks operating in Tanzania for the period (1998-2010). He found that size, profitably and growth of the bank were the major determinants of the bank's financial structure. In the West African context, Musah (2017) examined how can the financial structure of 23 banks operating in Ghana affects the profitability. The research results provided an evidence that there is a negative relationship between profitability and short- and long-term debt ratios. As the size of the bank was considered in Musah (2017) study as of one of control variables, the study showed a positive relationship between the bank size and the profitability indicators.
