| Summary: | The shift from financial repression to financial liberalization causes cross-border capital flows and brought
dramatic changes to the financial sector. In this regard, the financial sectors, acts as financial intermediary which
plays a significant role in mobilizing funds between surplus and deficit units. Furthermore, financial liberalization
creates higher competition and could have negative impact towards financial stability due to excessive risk taking.
This study’s research model focuses on examining the impact of competition on the relationship between financial
liberalization and financial stability. This model was analyzed by using the PLS-SEM and it was found that the
measurement model explains 19% of the substantial amount of variance in financial stability. Based on this finding,
this study will theoretically contribute in extending the competition stability view and competition fragility view as
determiners of financial stability. Based on the empirical results, it can be concluded that in the presence of
competition, financial liberalization has a significant effect on financial stability. |
