Drivers of system risk in the African banking systems: Does CODIV-19 make any difference?

ABSTRACT

The papers examine the drivers of systemic risk in the selected African banking systems-South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt. Several studies have documented the drivers of systemic risk in developed markets;however, these are lacking in the African banking systems. Particularly, this paper compares the drivers during and before the COVID-19 pandemic in the African banking system.
