The Impact of bank Concentration on Economic Growth: Comparative study between Algeria and Oman over the period: 2000 2021

This study aims at estimating the impact of bank concentration on economic growth in Algeria and Oman during the period (2000 2021) using the multiple linear regression model. The study revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between banking concentration and economic growth i n Oman, indicating that high banking sector concentration may hinder growth due to weak competition, reduced credit allocation efficiency, or increased risks of financial instability. In other side, results showed no statistically significant relationship between banking concentration and economic growth, suggesting that other factors (particularly oil revenues) are the primary drivers of growth.
