Popis: AbstractThis study investigates the relationship between prudential regulation and banking risk in the West African Economic and Monetary Union contingent on institutional quality. The empirical analysis employed panel data from 63 banks spanning 2006–2019. The key findings reveal that stringent banking regulations and supervision enhance banks’ stability. Capital regulations, activity restrictions, and supervisory authorities reduce the risk of bank insolvency. The results suggest that a favorable institutional climate promotes rigorous enforcement of regulatory standards and robust supervision, thereby amplifying their efficacy. Overall, this study concludes that prudential policies exhibit risk-mitigating effects in West African Economic and Monetary Union countries conditional on sound institutional frameworks.
