Reviews

“This book delivers a rigorous and insightful analysis of GCC banking, integrating competition, profitability, ESG, and financial development within a coherent empirical framework grounded in industrial organisation and institutional theory. It offers an original contribution, including the Israf-avoidance hypothesis, and provides timely insight into financial transformation in resource-based economies, making it valuable for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.” (Zakaria Boulanouar, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, UAE) “This book offers a rigorous and well-structured contribution to the study of GCC banking, integrating economic context, institutional arrangements, and banking performance within a coherent analytical framework. A notable strength is its treatment of sustainability, where ESG considerations are positioned as a core component of the sector's ongoing transformation, underscoring their role in enhancing financial resilience and supporting long-term development in GCC banking systems.” (Faisal Alqahtani, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)
