    Foreign Bank Participation in Developing Countries : What Do We Know About the Drivers and Consequences of This Phenomenon? (2010)
    Washington, D.C., : The World Bank,

    almafu_9958246201702883
    Format: 1 online resource (32 pages)
    Series Statement: Policy research working papers.
    Content: Foreign bank participation has increased steadily across developing countries since the mid-1990s. This paper documents this trend and surveys the existing literature to explore the drivers and consequences of this phenomenon, paying particular attention to the differences observed across regions both in the degree of foreign bank participation and in the impact of this process. Local profit opportunities, the absence of barriers to entry, and the presence of mechanisms to mitigate information problems have been the main factors driving foreign bank entry across developing countries. In general, foreign bank participation has been shown to exert a positive influence on banking sector efficiency and competition. The weight of the evidence suggests that foreign bank presence does not endanger, but rather enhances banking sector stability. And although some case studies suggest that foreign bank entry limits access to finance, many cross-country studies offer evidence to the contrary.

    Foreign Bank Acquisitions and Outreach : Evidence From Mexico (2008)
    Washington, D.C., : The World Bank,
    Details
    UID:
    almafu_9958099241102883
    Format: 1 online resource (43 pages)
    Series Statement: Policy research working papers.
    Content: Between 1995 and 2005, foreign bank participation in Mexico rose from 2 percent of bank assets to 83 percent, as the top five largest banks were acquired by foreigners. This paper examines the link between foreign bank acquisitions and banking outreach. Using quarterly country, bank, and bank-municipality-level data, the authors find some contrasting patterns. As foreign bank participation rose due to foreign acquisitions, the number of municipalities with bank presence increased but the number of loan and deposit accounts fell for the country as a whole and for banks after they became foreign. The drop in the number of loans, however, was partially off-set by an increase in domestic bank loans. Further, the decline in loan and deposit accounts was more pronounced in more rural and poorer areas. Finally, only very rich and urban areas experienced an increase in branches after foreign acquisition.

    Bank Involvement With SMES : Beyond Relationship Lending (2008)
    Washington, D.C., : The World Bank,
    Details
    UID:
    almafu_9958097420002883
    Format: 1 online resource (75 pages)
    Series Statement: Policy research working papers.
    Content: The "conventional wisdom" in academic and policy circles argues that, while large and foreign banks are generally not interested in serving SMEs, small and niche banks have an advantage in doing so because they can overcome SME opaqueness through relationship lending. This paper shows that there is a gap between this view and what banks actually do. Banks perceive SMEs as a core and strategic business and seem well positioned to expand their links with SMEs. The recent intensification of bank involvement with SMEs in various emerging markets documented in this paper is neither led by small or niche banks nor highly dependent on relationship lending. Rather, all types of banks are catering to SMEs and larger, multiple-service banks have in fact a comparative advantage in offering a wide range of products and services on a large scale, through the use of new technologies, business models, and risk management systems.

    Bank Competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa Region / (2010)
    Washington, D.C., : The World Bank,
    Details
    UID:
    almafu_9958246205202883
    Format: 1 online resource (28 pages)
    Series Statement: Policy research working papers.
    Content: This paper studies the extent of bank competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa region during 1994-2008, using non-structural measures of competition such as the H-statistic and the Lerner index. Both these measures suggest that banking sector competition in the region is lower relative to other regions and has not improved in recent years. An analysis of the determinants of competition across countries suggests that lower levels of competition in the Middle East and Northern Africa are explained by the region's worse credit information environment and lower market contestability.
