Abstract
This thesis aims at studying mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector and their impact on the performance of the Egyptian banking sector over the period 2000-2010. Mergers and acquisitions were used as a tool of reforming the banking sector, where in Egypt they were implemented extensively post to the banking sector reform program that was undertaken by the government in 2003. The study used some financial indicators to show the change in the performance of banks post to the merger. In addition, a special focus was given to the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the economic value added of the Egyptian banking sector. Therefore, a linear regression model was applied by using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method to estimate the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the economic value added of the Egyptian banking sector. This was done by using a panel data of 7 merged banks and measures their performance over the period 2000-2010. The results of the study suggest that the recent banking mergers and acquisitions that were undertaken post to 2003 affected positively the economic value added of the Egyptian banking sector.
