Bank profitability determinants in Africa: A review of literature

Peterson Ozili

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The study presents a review of existing research on bank profitability determinants in Africa. Using the literature review methodology, it was found that bank profitability determinants differ across countries in all regions of Africa. Some suggested areas for future research are to explore the impact of circular economy, fintech activities, the pandemic, and economic uncertainty on the profitability of African banks. The implication of the review findings is that bank profitability determinants will remain a contested research agenda in the banking literature.
