Abstract

The paper aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the effectiveness of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations in measuring banking sector stability in Western Balkan countries, as well as to explore the possibility of enhancing banking sector policy and performance. The study employs a quantitative methodology created on secondary data from 2012 to 2021. The data analysis methodology incorporates static and dynamic approaches to examine the banking sector stability using OLS and 2SLS. The results of the study show that the tight $${\rm{AM}}{{\rm{L}}_{{\rm{i}},{\rm{t}}}}$$AMLi,t implementation of both approaches has a positive and statistically significant impact on the banking sector stability ($${\rm{BSS}}$$BSS). The value of the paper is unique in that it applies the most recent data in this field for Western Balkans countries, and it brings benefits for a better understanding of the effectiveness of $${\rm{AML}}$$AML regulations. The research will encourage fruitful discussion among policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and financial institution executives.
