Abstract
The banking sector plays a critical role in driving economic growth and financial stability in any region. However, the issue of excess capacity within this sector can have a profound effect on the overall health of the economy. This study investigates the excess capacity in the banking sector within the context of the Sub-Saharan region and explores its implications on the economic performance of countries within this area.
This research employed a mixed methods approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Firstly, a review of existing literature on excess capacity in the banking sector and its impact on economies is conducted to provide a comprehensive background for the study. Next, quantitative data is collected from macroeconomic indicators, to assess the extent of excess capacity present in the Sub-Saharan banking sector.
