This study examined the non-linear relationship between environmental, social, and governance disclosure on bank credit growth in the Middle East and North Africa region. It also investigated whether Islamic banks, GCC banks, and oil-exporting variables affected credit growth. A quantile regression analysis of 394 banks from 11 MENA region countries during 2010-2023 found that the relationship between ESG disclosure and credit growth was an inver…
Moderating the role of renewable energy use on the nexus between export diversification and ecological footprint in Sub-Saharan Africa
The Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region has implemented a variety of policies to diversify its exports so that it can achieve stable growth rate in per capita GDP. Despite their obvious impact on GDP growth rate, such policies are often overlooked in terms of their impact on the quality of the environment. This study examines the impact of export diversification on environmental quality conditional on renewable energy in 24 countries in the SSA regio…

Economic growth and the proliferation of ICT infrastructures
This study explored the causal association between Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure development, measured by an ICT index, and the economic growth of 42 African economies between 2000 and 2019. Whether ICT development has contributed to real per capita GDP growth or ICT infrastructure expansion has just been a consequence of growth in real per capita GDP has been overlooked in prior studies concerning Africa. The eco…

A cross-sectoral analysis of energy shortages in Pakistan
The impacts of energy shortages characterized by regular blackouts, natural gas, and electricity load shedding in Pakistan affected each economic sector, causing an energy-induced crisis and ecological sustainability issues. This study was conducted to reveal the benefits of renewable energy and describe the economic losses associated with electricity unavailability using supply-driven input-output as a price model across 34 sectors. The results …

Information and communication technologies role in alleviating poverty in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Research has continued to indicate that the proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has the potential to alleviate poverty in developing countries. While theoretically, there are several mechanisms through which ICT may reduce poverty, they have not been empirically tested sufficiently. The present study aimed to recognize the mechanisms through which ICT may reduce poverty for a sample of 37 economies in the Sub‐Sahara…
The inequality of opportunity and youth employment in Sub-Saharan Africa
The present study has aimed to determine how factors beyond the control of youths (15–29 years) have determined their chance to find employment opportunities in six Sub-Saharan Africa countries (The Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo), Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia). Data from the school-to-work transition surveys from 2014 and 2015, carried out by the International Labor Office, was utilised. For each country, the Human Op…
From school to employment; the dilemma of youth in Sub–Saharan Africa

Malaysia plans to become a high-income economy in the coming years via what is called the ETP (Economic Transformation Program). To achieve this, Malaysia requires a sufficient level of foreign capital and thus is implementing appropriate investment initiatives to stimulate economic activity. So far, Malaysia has only been able to attract a small number of foreign investors. With a relatively small amount of FDI flowing into the country, the expe…
