Abstract
The goal of this study is to find out what makes Saudi Arabian banks unstable by using a panel data analysis with ten banks’ carefully chosen annual data from 2009 to 2022. Based on the fixed effect model, this study indicates that Saudi Arabian bank stability is unaffected by liquidity risk but is statistically and negatively impacted by credit risk and bank size. Conversely, capital adequacy and funding risk positively and statistically impact bank stability in Saudi Arabia. In light of these findings, we strongly recommend making capital adequacy requirements obligatory for bank management, given their beneficial effect on bank stability. This study recommended that bank management adopt practices such as safe loan provision and prompt customer repayment to mitigate credit risk. Bank managers have to guarantee liquidity adequacy in their banks and improve credit standards by increasing client supplemental requirements. While our study found that liquidity risk does not directly affect banks' financial stability, we propose that bank management should also focus on finding effective ways to generate client deposits to enhance financial stability further.
