The objective of this paper is to analyse the rule of corruption control and the rule of law in the relationship between financial liberalisation measures and bank risk taking in the CEMAC zone. Thus, it was obvious to use a panel model whose independent variables are supposed to explain the attraction or not of CEMAC banks to risk following the implementation of financial liberalisation programmes in a context where countries are trying to fight corruption and ensure the rights of the populations. The estimation results show that in the presence of anti-corruption measures, financial liberalisation programmes reduce banks' risk preference. These results contrast with those obtained in the context of rule of law development.
