Implication

Examines how bank competition affects risk-taking and stability in GCC banks, suggesting policy implications for financial stability.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the relationship between bank competition, risk-taking, and stability among commercial banks in GCC countries.
  • Analyzed data from 42 commercial banks listed on GCC stock exchanges from 2014 to 2021.
  • Employs two-step System GMM dynamic estimator to handle potential endogeneity issues.
  • Focuses on specific indicators of risk-taking and stability instead of multiple proxies.
  • Greater competition leads to increased risk-taking and reduced stability in the banking sector.
  • Liquidity allows for controlled risk-taking without negatively affecting stability.
  • Findings emphasize the need for strong regulation to maintain financial resilience in competitive environments.
