Abstract

AbstractThis study assesses the operational efficiency of 14 Sierra Leone commercial banks from 2020 to 2022, focusing on the adoption of financial innovation, such as digital banking, mobile services, and online payments. The research evaluates banks' performance by leveraging innovations using data envelope analysis (DEA) with constant and variable returns to scale models. Findings show varied efficiency, with some banks excelling and others lagging. The study underscores the need for strategic management and optimization so that banks can benefit fully from financial innovations. The insights inform policymakers and bank managers on enhancing the sector's operational performance through technology integration.
