Both these measures suggest that banking sector competition in the region is lower relative to other regions and has not improved in recent years. An analysis of the determinants of competition across countries suggests that lower levels of competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa are explained by the region’s worse credit information environment and lower market contestabilityPPN: PPN: 834967472Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBA | ZDB-110-WBLNo physical items for this record
