The cyclical routine of banking crisis around the globe is a central debate among scholars and researchers. Lack of a proper adjustment between banks cost efficiency, capital, and risk has been suggested by many studies as the main source of these panics. Thus, a proper selection and measurement of determinants of the efficiency of banks' cost, capital, and risk to measure impacts of the relationship is the linchpin for any banks’ long-term survival, stability, and growth.
The purpose of present paper is to unsympathetically review and evaluate current state and patterns of the connection among the efficiency of banks’ cost, risk and capital by reviewing or assessing up to date published studies on this relationship of banks in Africa.
The concluding remarks from this review study are significant to academic research, policies, and practices about the mentioned relationship.
