Bank Competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa Region
This paper studies the extent of bank competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa region during 1994-2008, using non-structural measures of competition such as the H-statistic and the Lerner index. Both these measures suggest that banking sector competition in the region is lower relative to other regions and has not improved in recent years. An analysis of the determinants of competition across countries suggests that lower levels of competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa are explained by the region s worse credit information environment and lower market contestability.

This paper studies the extent of bank
competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa region
during 1994-2008, using non-structural measures of
competition such as the H-statistic and the Lerner index.
Both these measures suggest that banking sector competition
in the region is lower relative to other regions and has not
improved in recent years. An analysis of the determinants of
competition across countries suggests that lower levels of
competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa are
explained by the region s worse credit information
environment and lower market contestability. |
