Inclusive Growth in Africa
Given the persistent inequalities and economic disparities, the quest for inclusive growth has become more critical. Nevertheless, a substantial knowledge gap exists regarding the role of the digital economy and financial development in inclusive growth. In light of this, this paper examines the direct, synergistic, and threshold effects of financial development and the digital economy on inclusive growth in Africa. The study considered 38 countr…
Factors Influencing Underwriting Performance of the Life and Non-Life Insurance Markets in South Africa
Underwriting is crucial for insurers’ performance and sustainability, yet empirical evidence on factors influencing its performance has received limited attention. Therefore, this study investigates this phenomenon considering South Africa’s life and non-life insurance sectors between 2013–2019. Using the generalized method of moments and the bootstrap quantile regression techniques for analysis, the findings show that insurance size, market shar…
The Impact of Derivatives Use on Systemic Risk of Africa’s Banking System
This paper contributes to the debate about Africa’s financial stability by focusing on the prevalence of systemic risk in 40 listed derivatives user-banks over 2011–2017, employing the systemic risk index (SRI), and subsequently exploring how it links to the continent’s financial market development. The systemic risk buildup within the industry is mainly depicted as an unstable, diluted, and possibly depleting process. Gloomy predictions persist …
Derivatives use and the risk‐taking behaviour of African banks
Evidence has been presented that banks typically maintain risk‐exacerbating derivatives positions. Within the context of African economies, this paper focuses on the impact of derivatives activities on the risk‐taking impulse of banks. It also examines the risk‐taking impulse resulting from banks' business lending efficiency. Estimation was carried out using standard ROA—and ROE—based idiosyncratic risk metrics and two‐stage least squares regress…
Dynamic spillovers and connectedness between Covid-19 pandemic and global foreign exchange markets
This paper examines dynamic spillovers and connectedness between global covid-19 occurrences and the Global FX market. We specifically analyse the spillovers using six most traded currency pairs in the world utilizing daily data for the period December 31, 2019 to April 10, 2020. The paper employs the Diebold and Yilmaz (DY hereafter) (2009, 2012) approach to compute the spillover indexes. We also consider the rolling window analyses to capture t…
