Abstract
Using a dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMM), this paper examines the dynamic impact of banking sector performance on economic growth in thirteen Southeast European countries over the period 2000-2015 by taking into account human capital, investment, and trade openness, among other factors. The main empirical finding suggests a positive and significant impact of banking sector performance on economic growth, which implies that banking efficiency is among the main determinants of overall economic growth. Further, the impact of investment, human capital, and trade openness is found to be positive and significant. The major policy recommendation is that the governments in the respective countries should foster their banking system because of its direct impact on economic growth.
