Mehr zum Buch

This book addresses the gap in academic research on corporate governance and disclosure in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), focusing on Libyan commercial banks. The author examines recent developments in corporate governance disclosure, which is vital for accountability, shareholder protection, enhanced corporate performance, and risk reduction in financial crises. Understanding the unique context of MENA countries, especially those impacted by the Arab Spring, is essential for improving corporate governance disclosure. The Libyan banking sector, crucial to the economy, has specific characteristics that heighten the importance of corporate governance, yet research in this area remains scarce. The book highlights significant corporate governance reforms within the Libyan banking sector in recent years, influenced by the political and business changes following the Arab Spring. The author analyzes how banks have adapted to these reforms and the evolution of their corporate governance disclosure practices. This timely research sheds light on the complexities and developments in corporate governance in Libya, contributing to a better understanding of the region's financial landscape.
