About the Book

This book evaluates the characteristics and developments in Africa's financial systems including monetary policy, structured finance, sustainable finance and banking, FinTech, RegTech, SupTech, inclusive finance, the role of regulation in dealing with banking crises, impact of COVD-19 on Africa's financial systems and how to reform the post-COVID-19 financial systems. It is made up contributions from scholars in finance and economics as well as financial market practitioners.

Banking and the financial markets play a significant role in the growth of various economies. A number of handbooks on banking and finance exist focusing on Europe, America and Asia. Banks and financial markets in Africa are confronted with different challenges and therefore present a unique case to understand Africa's financial systems. A number of African countries have experienced banking crises and it is important to examine these issues as well as the regulatory regimes required to addressing them. This edited book will contribute to the limited texts in the area by providing a comprehensive resource on banking and finance for students, scholars, researchers and policymakers and financial market practitioners. It contains various theoretical and empirical chapters on banking and finance in Africa.
