There is a significant gap in comprehensively probing the determinants of renewable energy consumption (REN) in developing markets. Extant literature suggests the beneficial role of using renewable energy in diminishing carbon emissions and increasing environmental quality. This work addresses this gap and contributes by investigating the factors which significantly affect the REN in emerging economies. More specifically, the present study attempts to contribute by probing the effects of economic openness and financial stability on REN while considering the roles of financial development, technological innovations, and economic growth. To achieve this purpose, this study focuses on BRICS emerging countries, which are five massive and outstanding emerging economies of the globe, and uses both the fixed effects and quantile panel data approaches for yearly data between 2000 and 2021. Remarkably, the results reveal that economic openness and financial stability positively impact REN, implying that rising them helps achieve environmental sustainability. Moreover, the findings indicate the positive and significant role of financial development and technological innovations in increasing REN, whereas economic growth impacts adversely. The findings have essential recommendations for governments, policymakers, and regulatory bodies especially by focusing on the drivers of REN and attempting to maintain banking sector stability to increase REN and promote environmental sustainability.

“…practices on the banking sector in different economies. For instance, Athari (2023) indicate that higher liquidity, profitability, capital reserves, and income diversity are associated with lower credit risk, while inefficiency leads to increased credit risk for BRICS banks. Moreover, increasing vulnerability to financial, economic, and political risks, along with underdeveloped capital markets and rising lending rates, is linked to higher credit risk.…”

This study investigates the determinants of banking stability through a comprehensive analysis of various financial and governance factors. Employing a panel regression approach, we examine the impact of key accounting variables, including capital adequacy ratio, return on assets, non-performing loans, bank size, and gross domestic product, as well as governance factors, covering board composition, audit quality, women on board, and the presence of risk committees, on the stability of banks operating in the MENA region between 2009 and 2020. Our findings reveal that most of these variables have a positive impact on banking stability. However, non-performing loans and the presence of independent directors on the board exhibit a negative relationship with banking stability. Therefore, it is found that banks under consideration maintain stability in tandem with good corporate governance practices and economic expansion, thereby positively influencing the MENA banking sector. The study recommends researchers to delve deeper into the complex relationships between these variables and banking stability and suggests that future studies explore additional factors that might impact the stability of banks in the MENA region.
