Abstract: 
There is a need to explore the moderating role of banks' efficiency in the relationship between corporate governance (CG) and default probability in Pakistan. Such attention is required due to poor bank governance, which threatens banks' stability. This empirical study's objective is to ascertain the impact of CG on bank default probability by considering banking efficiency as a moderating factor for the period spanning 2012-2020 by using secondary data from banks in Pakistan. The results, estimated using System GMM regression-whose robustness was confirmed through Driscoll and Kraay's standard error approach findings-show a significant relationship between banks' CG and bank efficiency. Banks' better CG practices will improve bank efficiency toward financial soundness in Pakistan. Moreover, the current study puts forth certain implications, i.e. that the banks still need to improve the mechanism they use to implement corporate governance attributes to compete properly on the international stage.
