The impact of the banking sector development on the financial performance of the communication sector in sierra leone

1.11 Conclusion 
In this introductory chapter I briefly discussed the purpose, objectives and 
scope of this study and also highlighted key related issues in relation to the 
study. I have no knowledge of earlier direct studies with regard to banking 
sector impact to the financial performance of the communication sector in 
Sierra Leone, but there are already several publications that highlighted such 
issues but highly concentrated on the impact of the banking sector on the 
economy, other industrial sectors like Agriculture, Manufacturing and they 
dealt with developmental issues relating to interest rate, financial performance 
and Gross domestic product etc. My study would surely contribute to a better 
understanding of the relationship between the two sectors and ascertain the 
impact to the nation, the industrial institutions, the central bank of Sierra Leone, 
the Ministry of Communication and Information, National Commission for 
telecommunication (NATCOM) as the supervisory institution, banking sector 
and the communication institutions.
