We found a U-shaped relationship between bank stability and competition suggesting competition-stability and competition-fragility nexus. Banking concentration was found to affect instability negatively, which supported the ``too important to be bailed out'' view. Furthermore, we found that Islamic banks were less stable compared to conventional banks. We also found that bank size, profitability and capital regulation increase bank stability.
