Handbook of Banking and Finance in the MENA Region

Edited by Khaled Hussainey () and Tamanna Dalwai

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: According to World Bank (2021), the economic recovery post-COVID-19 in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been uneven and tumultuous. Reasons for this include exposure to oil-price fluctuations, the impact of pandemic, public demonstrations, and political instability. Although the MENA region encompasses a variety of countries — wealthy, stable and oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar as well as less secure countries such as Iraq and Syria — it plays an important role in the global economy.
