Propriété étrangère des banques jordaniennes: conséquences sur la performance, le risque et la stabilité

Marc Kouzez and Bruno Séjourné

Revue économique, 2019, vol. 70, issue 2, 273-292

Abstract: While opening its banking market in the mid-nineties, Jordan authorized the questioning of the existing model and a growing participation of foreign investors. The aim of this article is to analyze the consequences of the origin of the listed banks ownership on performance, credit risk exposure and capital, during the 2005-2015 period. We show that a majority of foreign stockholding is discriminating considering those three criteria: high solvability ratios, better quality of the credit portfolios and higher performance than domestic banks. Finally, a more detailed analysis considering the size of the banks shows that the smallest ones have capital overload and a low efficiency. This puts into light that the size of foreign banks should be taken into account in further studies on bank ownership.
