Many African countries have experienced episodes of weak growth since 1970 through the 2000s. A fundamental intermediation gap in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the extremely limited financing for medium to long term lending facilities to promote growth. Thus, given the importance of financial development on economic growth, this study investigates the impact of financial development on economic growth in SSA, which is sub-divided into low-, middle- and upper-income groupings to ascertain whether differences in income levels across countries affect the relative impact of finance on growth. The study adopts the dynamic and static panel data model to analyse 30 SSA countries using annual data over the 1985–2015 period. The findings indicate that financial depth and financial intermediation reduce per capita income growth in low- and middle-income countries. However, it increases growth in upper-income and the overall sample of SSA countries. Credit supply positively impacts growth in low-income countries but exerts a significantly negative impact on growth in middle-income and the overall sample of SSA countries. Financial liberalisation promotes growth in upper-income and the overall SSA. However, it reduces growth in low- and middle-income countries. Financial development and financial liberalisation are important factors that affect economic growth given different income levels.

金融发展对经济增长的影响:来自撒哈拉以南非洲的证据

从 1970 年到 2000 年代,许多非洲国家经历了增长乏力的时期。撒哈拉以南非洲 (SSA) 的一个基本中介缺口是用于促进增长的中长期贷款工具的融资极其有限。因此,鉴于金融发展对经济增长的重要性,本研究调查金融发展对 SSA 经济增长的影响,将其细分为低收入、中等收入和高收入群体,以确定不同地区的收入水平差异是否存在。国家影响金融对增长的相对影响。该研究采用动态和静态面板数据模型,使用 1985-2015 年期间的年度数据分析了 30 个 SSA 国家。调查结果表明,金融深度和金融中介降低了低收入和中等收入国家的人均收入增长。然而,它增加了高收入人群和 SSA 国家整体样本的增长。信贷供应对低收入国家的增长产生积极影响,但对中等收入国家的增长和 SSA 国家的整体样本产生显着的负面影响。金融自由化促进了高收入人群和整体 SSA 的增长。然而,它降低了低收入和中等收入国家的增长。鉴于不同收入水平,金融发展和金融自由化是影响经济增长的重要因素。信贷供应对低收入国家的增长产生积极影响,但对中等收入国家的增长和 SSA 国家的整体样本产生显着的负面影响。金融自由化促进了高收入人群和整体 SSA 的增长。然而,它降低了低收入和中等收入国家的增长。鉴于不同收入水平,金融发展和金融自由化是影响经济增长的重要因素。信贷供应对低收入国家的增长产生积极影响,但对中等收入国家的增长和 SSA 国家的整体样本产生显着的负面影响。金融自由化促进了高收入人群和整体 SSA 的增长。然而,它降低了低收入和中等收入国家的增长。鉴于不同收入水平,金融发展和金融自由化是影响经济增长的重要因素。
