- Description
- This study examined the relationship between bank competition and economic growth across South Africa, Russia and China. In this regard, the study conducted a comparative analysis which allowed for country differences and thus enhanced the provision of relevant policy guidance given how each of the country’s economic growth is reacting to changes in bank competition. To account for country differences, the study estimated a random coefficient panel (RCP) model using Swamy’s generalised least squares (GLS) estimators for the period 1999 – 2015. Across the three countries, bank competition and economic growth have been found to be positively related. In addition, bank competition has been found to be highly significant in influencing economic growth across the three countries. However, the extent of influence that bank competition has on economic growth differs in each country. Therefore, this study recommends that policies aimed at promoting competition in the banking sector of South Africa, Russia and China should be adopted in order to promote economic growth.
