Abstract [eng] Purpose – Th e banking and fi nancial sector is a dynamic sector that regularly goes through a series of structural changes. Global bank consolidation an d concentration processes have prompted a lively discussion on the part of scholars and practitioners regarding the infl uence of concentration on the efficiency and competition levels in the banking system, the financial and macroeconomic stability of countries and the growth of economies. It has been noted that the banking sector tolerates high levels of concentration rather well compared to other business sectors, thanks to the apparent benefi ts of concentration on the increasing stability of the fi nancial system.... Th e aim of this article is to identify underlying causes affecting the mergers and acquisitions in banking and to assess their eff ect on the domestic fi nancial system.
