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 countries of the region during the last decades, highlighting that the experience is relatively recent and its market is still modest due to the structure of ownership of banks, that often belong to governments or royal families, and the ence of laws and legislations that ensure a sound environment Facilitates and frames this pattern of growth.
