DEA Results: Impact of Institutions on Financial Sector Development; References; FootnotesThe paper assesses the effects of certain institutional factors on financial sector development in Sub- Saharan Africa (SSA). Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is applied to determine the extent to which these institutions affect the financial sector, and to suggest which institutions play a more critical role in each country. Results suggest that institutional factors affect financial depth and access to financial services more than asset quality and profitability (measured by nonperforming loans (NPL) and return on equity (ROE). The results also suggest that depth of credit information has the strongest influence on the NPL ratio, and political stability affects access the most. Based on model findings, policy implications on prioritizing institutional reforms to enhance financial sector development are suggested for individual countries and for country groups.IMF working paper ;WP/09/258.FinanceAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomicsAfrica, Sub-SaharanFinanceEconomics338.126924Anayiotos George C1750831Toroyan Hovhannes1656757International Monetary Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826146603321Institutional factors and financial sector development4185511UNINA
