1. Introduction
Many of the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries have undertaken
various forms of financial and macroeconomic reforms in the past two
decades to accelerate economic growth, fostered financial innovation
and enhanced trade integration.While most of these structural adjustment
programmes were targeted to modernise SSA's financialmarkets,
they were also meant to create a macroeconomic environment conducive
to promoting private investment and improve allocative efficiency.
Generally, financial integration implies that the domestic financial
market is linked with or intertwined with global financial markets
(Volz, 2004). In many parts of the African continent, regional financial
integration has been launched. Regional financial integration is an
arrangement where a group of neighbouring countries legally agree
to interlink their financial systems in order to deepen and broaden
their financial markets; at a higher level, over and above individual
country markets, a set of countries can actually build regional markets
