Simplice Asongu
Development Finance Agenda, 2023, vol. 8, issue 3, 16-17
Abstract:
Comparative insights on the relevance of information sharing in financial allocation efficiency in Africa is motivated along three main constructive lines that are drawn on the extant scholarly and policy literature, notably: (i) the scope of information sharing contingent on recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT); (ii) the imperative to complement external funding sources with domestic or internal mechanisms and (iii) concerns about information asymmetry that is the principal cause of surplus liquidity issues in African banking institutions . The concerns have been considered by Asongu and Odhiambo (2022) in a recent study that has provided relevant comparative insights into understanding how information sharing affect banking system allocation efficiency, contingent on income levels and legal origins. In what follows, the motivational factors are clarified in the same chronological order as highlighted.
