Implications of cross-border banking for financial integration in the West African sub-region

This paper noted that initial efforts at cross-border banking in the sub-region were led by Ecobank Transnational Incorporated with the active support of the Economic Community of |West African States (ECOWAS), which acquired substantial shares in the bank, Regional approach to cross-border banking and financial integration in the sub-region has complimented the market approach facilitated by private enterprise. Regional efforts have been intensified but problems remain with the numerous barriers to the free movement of goods, services and capital. While cross-border banking can facilitate financial integration, there are a number of implications which require policy remedial actions and safeguards for the benefits of cross-border banking to be enjoyed by both home and host economies. The safeguards are in the areas of cooperation between home and host regulators and supervisors to ensure that cross-border banks are comprehensively supervised as well as ensure that risks are identified and analyzed wherever they occurred. The exchange of information between regulators and application of risk-based consolidated supervision is necessary to contain systemic risks. The paper concluded that the issue is not to halt financial globalization but, to put in place, mechanisms that will detect banking crises before they occur; and when they do occur, to apply remedial actions to contain and reverse the problems

Foreign direct investment and manufacturing exports in Nigeria.
No full textThe potential impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on recipient and investing economies is of considerable policy interest (Pain and Wake/in, 1997). Important to the theory of foreign investment in Nigeria is the question whether foreign investors coming to Nigeria are marketseeking or export-driven. This finding is relevant to economic managers in the design and implementation of appropriate macroeconomic policies to attract FDJ. It is also relevant to investigate whether FD/ contributes to the overall capacity of developing economies to export. This study investigates the contribution of FD! to manufacturing exports in Nigeria. Using firm level data collected from 232 manufacturing firms in Nigeria, probit regression analysis revealed that FD/ does not significantly contribute to manufacturing exports in Nigeria. This finding supports that of Soderbom and Teal (2002) and Nunnenkamp (2002) that FD/ in developing countries like Nigeria are not export-driven but are attracted by certain economic fundamentals within the economy like market size and the availability of natural resources
