<![CDATA[This study assessed the impact of Geopolitical Risk (GPR) on bank performance and the role of gender diversity in that relationship. The study used panel data from 41 banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2017–2025 period ( 369 observations). Bank performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), while the control variables used include bank size, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR). The analysis was conducted using a Random Effects Model with robust standard errors. The results show that GPR has a positive and significant effect on ROA. This means that an increase in geopolitical risk during the study period was not accompanied by a decline in bank profitability. Gender diversity was also found to moderate this relationship in a negative direction; thus, the higher the gender diversity, the weaker the positive effect of GPR on ROA. Regarding the control variables, bank size has a positive effect on ROA, while NPL has a negative effect. Meanwhile, CAR and LDR do not have a significant effect on ROA. The results indicate that banks’ responses to geopolitical risks are not only related to external conditions but are also influenced by governance characteristics and the quality of the bank’s internal management.]]>
