تطور عمليات الاندماج والاستحواذ المصرفي بدول شمال إفريقيا والشرق الأوسط

Abstract EN

Banks in North Africa and the Middle East faced great challenges imposed by the acceleration towards internationalization, globalization, and the liberalization of trade in services, in addition to those related to the characteristics of the banks themselves, as their heavy reliance on government borrowing, market tightness and the small size of banks, despite their large number increased their weak position competitive and innovative spirit.

the study aimed to review the development of the market for banking mergers and acquisitions in the region, which highlighted that the experience is relatively recent and its market is still modest locally and regionally, due to the ownership structure of banks and the absence of laws and legislation that ensure a sound environment that facilitates and frames these operations.

the gulf cooperation council (GCC) countries, led by the UAE, topped the rankings.

the rapprochement operations during the last decade have adopted the acquisition method in order to support the competitive position, diversify business and penetrate global markets.
