Banking and the financial markets play a significant role in the growth of various economies. Although a number of handbooks on banking and finance exist, they mainly focus on Europe, America and Asia. Banks and financial markets in Africa are confronted with different challenges and therefore present a unique case to understand Africa’s financial systems. A number of African countries have experienced banking crises and it is important to examine these issues as well as the regulatory regimes required to address them. This edited book contributes to the limited texts in the area by providing a comprehensive resource on banking and finance for students, scholars, researchers, policymakers, and financial market practitioners. It contains various theoretical and empirical chapters on banking and finance in Africa.Joshua Yindenaba Abor is a Professor of Finance and the Dean at the University of Ghana Business School. He is a researcher with the African Economic Research Consortium. Joshua is a Visiting Professor of Development Finance at the UCT Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town, South Africa, and has also held Visiting Scholar positions at the IMF, Washington DC, USA.
