African financial development dynamics: big time convergence
African financial development dynamics: big time convergence
Assessment of African financial development dynamic convergences in money, credit, efficiency and size. The paper aims to discuss these issues. The presence of strong links among African banking sectors may present little opportunity for portfolio diversification. The convergence patterns show positive steps toward regional integration. As a policy implication, African governments should not relent in structural and institutional reforms.
