摘要
In this study, we test the hypothesis that domestic public debt affects economic growth through its impact on the activity of the banking system. For this purpose, we estimate a simultaneous equations model based on a panel of 20 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2000-2010. The results suggest that the holding of government securities has encouraged banks to take on more risk and to increase their loans to the private sector, especially in the presence of weak institutions. However, this beneficial impact of domestic public debt did not significantly influence economic activity as the African financial system has played a limited role in stimulating private investment and economic growth.
