Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging markets continue to face heightened financial vulnerabilities driven by global monetary tightening, geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and structural institutional challenges. These dynamics have important implications for banking sector stability, credit risk, liquidity conditions, and the overall resilience of financial systems. This Special Issue seeks high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions that advance understanding of how banks, financial institutions, and regulators navigate evolving risks in emerging economies.
We welcome studies examining banking sector soundness, credit risk modeling, bank performance under stress, contagion channels, liquidity and funding risks, systemic risk measurement, and the transmission of global shocks to domestic financial systems. Research focusing on regulatory reforms, macroprudential policy, financial inclusion, and the impact of FinTech innovations on risk management and stability in emerging markets is also encouraged. Methodologically rigorous papers using advanced econometric techniques, stress-testing frameworks, natural experiments, or structural modeling are particularly welcome.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide fresh insights into the determinants of resilience in emerging-market banking systems and to inform policy design that supports stability, risk mitigation, and sustainable financial development.
Dr. Maryem Naili
Guest Editor
