#Policy_Brief: Consolidate or Collapse: Mergers and acquisitions as strategic lifeline for #Ethiopian banks
In this policy brief, Samson Hailu contends that Ethiopia’s banking sector is entering a critical phase, as consolidation —particularly through mergers and acquisitions— shifts from a private-sector discussion to a policy priority of the #NBE under Governor Eyob Tekalign.
Although the sector has expanded to 31 banks, the #CBE continues to dominate, leaving smaller institutions vulnerable. Stress tests highlight significant capital and liquidity risks, reinforcing the author’s warning that “consolidation is not merely a strategic choice but a requirement for survival.”
He recommends that smaller “third-generation” banks form partnerships with larger private banks and endorses a “guided voluntary” approach, designed not to mandate consolidation but to facilitate market-led combination.
