We use a panel of nine Tanzanian banks from 2000 -2009. Basing on a range of financial performance ratios and a sample of state and private owned banks in Tanzania, we compare the means and then test for the relationship between bank's performance and ownership structure with a proper regression set up. On average private owned banks have higher Return on Average Assets and lower Operating Efficiency Ratio while state owned banks have higher Return on Equity and capital adequacy indicators, Equity to deposit Liability and Liquid assets to Deposit Liability. We find little evidence to suggest a linear positive or negative relationship between ownership structure and bank performance in Tanzania. For that reason, ownership alone has no much impact on the bank's performance.
