This study examines banking industry stability in BRICS and G7 from the period 2005 to 2014. The results show that stability level in a prior period affects stability in the subsequent period. Also, the study reveals that competition improves stability, which validates the competition-stability proposition. Economic growth enhances stability in BRICS but not in G7. Inefficiency weakens stability in BRICS; however, its impact in G7 is insignificant. Profitability, capitalization, and inflation enhance stability in G7; however, they show no meaningful impacts in BRICS. These findings contribute to literature and policy discussion on banking industry stability
