“…Fuentes and Sartre (1998) found that in the regional market of Spain, the level of competition was weak following consolidation thus lending support to the traditional view. Also Berg and Kim (1994) observed that for the Norwegian banking industry the conjectural variation is greater than one, implying that the industry is near monopoly with high degree of market power.…”

This paper investigates the effect of bank consolidation in Nigeria on the structural characteristics of the banking market using the three-bank, five-bank and eight-bank concentration ratios as well as the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) seven years after the conclusion of the first phase of the program. The result establishes a substantial increase in concentration for the post consolidation period with very high tendency to gravitate towards becoming a moderately concentrated market according to the USA merger guideline. Also, there is the emergence in 2012, of eight top dominant banks controlling more than 75% of the Nigerian banking business especially in the total assets market. The implication of this finding is that there is the need to forestall collusive and anti-competitive practices by stepping up the oversight functions of the regulatory and supervisory agencies while reviewing periodically the hurdles for new entrants to the industry.

Abstract. This study assesses the competitive environment and the determinants of the Sub-Saharan Africa commercial banking sectors. We used the Lerner index that is generally acknowledged as the best at estimating the bank level competition and the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) to study 440 commercial banks for the period 2006 to 2015. We found a monopolistic competitive banking market. We also observed that competition is driven by the level of bank capital including some bank specific variables. Hence, we concluded that the banking market of the SSA region is contestable and competitive. As such, we recommend, among other things, that policy makers should device measures to ensure an ongoing competitive banking environment while stimulating other economic variables to complement this feat. JEL classification: G21, L10
