The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of risk factors on the financial performance of Kuwaiti banks. The study is based on the financial data of ten banks listed on Kuwait stock exchange (KSE) over the period 2011-2021. Using pool OLS regression method where return on assets (ROA) is used as the proxy of financial performance and operational risk, credit risk and liquidity risk as risk factors, the results of the research show that the financial performance of Kuwaiti banks is mostly affected by operational risk and liquidity risk and that credit risk does not have any statically significant effect of their financial performance.
