The Impact of the political instability on Conventional Banks’ stability: Evidence in Tunisia
Abstract
Using the GARCH, E-GARCH models, this paper analyzes the financial stability of a sample of nine Tunisian commercial banks listed in Tunisian Stock Exchange market (BVMT) pre and post the Jasmine revolution, using the daily returns for the period from 02/01/2009 to 29/06/2012. To evaluate the effects of this recent political crisis, we disjointedly consider the pre-crisis period, 2009-2010, the post crisis period, 2011-2012, and the whole period. Before performing the empirical investigation a set of required tests were applied such as the normality, unit root and Heteroskedasticity tests. The results showed that the Tunisian banking system were more stable before the fall of Ben Ali regime, which may due to the strong links with the political stability. The study recommended that banking system in Tunisia need some reforms to diversify their risks and to improve transparency in according loans.
