Determinants of Stock Markets Development (GMM Estimation) 330 $aThis paper examines empirically the determinants of financial market development in Africa with an emphasis on banking systems and stock markets. The results show that income level, creditor rights protection, financial repression, and political risk are the main determinants of banking sector development in Africa, and that stock market liquidity, domestic savings, banking sector development, and political risk are the main determinants of stock market development. We also find that liberalizing the capital account promotes financial market development only in countries with high incomes 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/182. 606 $aBanks and banking$zAfrica 606 $aStock exchanges$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBanks and banking 615 0$aStock exchanges 676 $a336.54 700 $aAndrianaivo$b Mihasonirina$0937133 701 $aYartey$b Charles Amo$0898424 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bAfrican Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463995503321 996 $aUnderstanding the growth of African financial markets$92110729 997 $aUNINA
