The Impact of Intellectual Capital on the Performance of the Egyptian Banks

Abstract

The research aims at identifying the impact of intellectual capital on the performance of Egyptian banks. Intellectual capital is measured by value added intellectual capital VAIC, value-added intellectual capital coefficient components, market to book value and Tobin’s Q, while banking performance is measured according to CAMELS approach. Results indicate that there is a significant impact of intellectual capital on capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings and liquidity in Egyptian banks. This has been conducted using panel data analysis according to fixed effect technique as applied on a sample of 13 banks listed in the Egyptian exchange during the period from 2010 to 2014.
