The aim of this paper is to compare the relative efficacy of Egyptian public, private and foreign banks in alleviating adverse macroeconomic meltdowns inflicted by financial crises by employing the Pedroni Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) method. The research contrasts two financial reforms: the liberalization phase of 1991-2003 to the Banking Reform Plan (2004-2009). The results of the study reveal that financial reforms have rendered foreign and domestic private banks more efficient in enhancing credit flow to the real sector, whilst making state-owned banks more successful in mobilizing savings during financial crises.

Abstract The issue of systemic risk regulation and management has gained substantial attention following the latest financial crisis. In the case of the EU it became crucial to deal with the systemic risk problem on a supranational level since the banking sectors of the member countries are highly integrated. While substantial measures have been undertaken to mitigate systemic risk in the EU, the discussion of further reforms continues. This study’s goal is to assess basic indicators of systemic risk in the EU banking sector by using three complementary methods: a forward-looking stock market data analysis, an EU-stress test analysis for systemically important banks, and an empirical investigation of the relation between banking regulation and systemic risk as measured by bank balance sheet indicators. The results lead to a recommendation of further necessary regulatory reforms, which appear in the conclusion.
