We find that the interest margin and the risk affect strongly the capital ratio. They explain the excess of the capital held by the Tunisian banks. So, this excess is not explained only by regulatory pressures. The deposit variability and the intermediation rate have the same sign. But, the equity cost and the deposits ratio both have a negative impact. The main determinants are the same for all the countries.
