This paper aims to analyse the relationship between financial integration and financial development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To achieve this objective, we use a methodological approach based on panel data over the period 2000-2021 in 39 SSA countries. By estimating the panel threshold regression dynamic model (PTR Dynamic model) and using the Generalised method of moments (GMM), we show that there is a significant non-linear relationship between financial integration and financial development. This non-linear relationship refines existing evidence between financial integration and financial development. The optimal threshold of financial integration, defined as the level of financial integration that maximises financial development, is 69%. Therefore, the optimal level of financial integration is robust to sensitivity analysis, resulting in thresholds between 67% and 70%. The results show that financial integration has a differentiated effect on financial development depending on its sign. More specifically, below 69%, financial integration has a positive and significant effect on financial development; but above this 69% threshold, financial integration has a negative and significant effect on financial development. The public and monetary authorities must therefore take prudential measures into account in order to maintain the development of the financial system.
