Prepared to help USAID/Gambia define the conditionality for its multi-year Financial and Private Enterprise Development Project, this report assesses The Gambia's formal financial sector. The report: (1) describes the challenge facing the financial sector in the context of the Gambian economy; (2) profiles the country's financial institutions, dominant among which are three banks (two private commercial banks and a government-owned development bank in the early stages of privatization) and one relatively large non-bank financial institution, the parastatal Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation; (3) reviews competitive conditions in each of the major financial markets and identifies regulatory, supervisory, tax, and accounting problems not being addressed under current conditionality; and (4) presents a schedule of policy actions to improve the financial sector. Recommendations focus on: strengthening the financial sector's legislative, regulatory, and administrative framework in order to protect the rights of creditors and investors; removing procedural and tax impediments on financial transactions; changing the Government's borrowing policies so as to encourage longer
