This research examines the relationship between stock market efficiency and banking sector stability in the MENA region.
Analyzed panel data from 21 MENA countries between 2003 and 2021
Employed fixed-effects regression to account for unobserved heterogeneity
Utilized Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) to explore dynamic interactions
Investigated the influence of macroeconomic indicators and bank-specific variables on stability
Traditional macroeconomic variables show limited direct influence on banking stability as measured by the Z-score
Country-specific characteristics and institutional quality significantly shape financial resilience
Effective risk management is crucial for maintaining bank stability over time
Broader economic and institutional environments also impact banking stability
