Trade, financial openness and dual banking economies: Evidence from GCC Region

2021

Abstract The recent wave of liberalization in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries has opened up a debate on the role of Islamic finance in the financial development of an economy. Using a comprehensive dataset of 43 Islamic and 49 conventional banks for the period 2007–2015, in this paper, we investigate the impact of trade and financial openness on financial development in the GCC region.

Moreover, trade and financial openness affect Islamic banks differently than conventional banks. No…
