Comprehensive performance evaluation of banking branches: A three-stage slacks-based measure (SBM) data envelopment analysis

The productivity of the banks in any country is a key factor in the growth and development of that country's economy. Recently, the evaluation and improvement of the productivity of the banking industry has been taken into much consideration in Iran. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a comprehensive and accepted approach for assessing the performance of banking industry. Although extensive studies have been done on banking industry using standard DEA models, they are, in fact, they ignore the internal structure of bank performance. Since the overall operational process of the banking system is made up of several partial processes, network DEA models are used to take into account all the internal components of the process and the coherence of the whole process. This is also done as the evaluation of the efficiency of partial processes helps to identify the sources of inefficiency of the overall banking system. In the present study, a network Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) DEA model is used in which the efficiency of the overall system is equal to the weighted average of the efficiency of the individual stages. The main advantage of this model is its ability to provide better efficiency criteria, calculate the weight of each stages separately, and simultaneously evaluate the mediator variables as both input and output. Finally, the comprehensive performance evaluation of banking industry is designed in three divisions, namely, production, intermediation, and social welfare approach. The model is applied to simultaneously evaluate operational efficiency, service effectiveness, and social effectiveness for 37 branches of one of the largest commercial banks in Iran.

Does service quality increase the level of banks performance

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to unfold the relationship between service quality and level of performance of conventional and Islamic banks. Also, it intends to uncover what are the features of service quality which can raise the level of performance either in conventional banks or Islamic banks. There is rare literature available that focused on comparative study between above stated banking systems based on emerging parameters of SERVQUAL model. Design/methodology/approach To meet the objectives of this investigation, research data has been from 450 customers who have had accounts and dealings with conventional and Islamic banks in the previous five years. The customers are selected based on cluster sampling from regional offices of conventional and Islamic banks. Findings The collected data have been analyzed by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique followed by common method variance (CMV), multiple regression test and independent sample t-test used to examine the parameters of service quality in the context of banks performance. The purpose of CFA is to find the model validity, while multiple regression and t-test is performed in order to examine the influence of service quality parameters on banks performance. Originality/value The study used compliance as a one of the emerging and unique dimension of service quality. This dimension is rarely investigated in the context of measuring the level of bank performance of conventional and Islamic banking systems. Findings reveal responsiveness and assurance is the strongest predictor of conventional banking performance. Compliance and reliability has significant and positive impact on the level of performance of Islamic banks. Moreover, the study has practical implications for the top management and stakeholders of conventional and Islamic banks to increase the level of performance by using SERVQUAL model.

Financial Crises in State Owned and Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh: A Comparative Analysis

Recently the performance of banking industry is one of the much talked issues in the history of Bangladesh. Predicting the factors of financial crises in banks is very much important as this sector is facing a crises moment now. This study examined the driving factors of financial crises in banking sector using panel data consisted of five year observations (2012-2016) for each of 28 PCBs listed in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and 6 State-Owned Commercial Banks (SCBs). Financial crisis is measured by Altman’s Z-score and Pooled Ordinary Least Square (Pooled OLS) has been applied to find out the factors necessary to condense financial crisis in banks.The study found that SCBs and listed PCBs in Bangladesh are facing financial crisis on the basis of Altman’s Z-score model. Results of the analysis postulated that CRAR, NIIR and NINTR significantly contribute to lessen financial crisis in listed PCBs and also in SCBs. Therefore, the study suggests the regulatory authorities, including stakeholders and researchers to taking into account the findings of the study and to be more alert of the operations of SCBs and PCBs in order to steps forward the performance of this sector as well development of the country in the coming future.

Asset quality determinants of Indian banks: Empirical evidence and policy issues

The Indian banking industry has been suffering from a huge number of nonperforming loans, and the loan asset quality has been deteriorated over the years. This has led to significant capital erosion of many banks in India. The surge in corporate defaults leading to an enormous rise in nonperforming loan assets has been impairing the performance of Indian banking industry in particular and economic growth in general. Hence, it is intuitive to ask what are the determinants of poor asset quality of Indian banks. To answer this question, using a sample of 47 commercial banks over a sample period of 2000 to 2014, our study examines the bank‐, industry‐, and macroeconomic‐specific determinants of asset quality of Indian banks. Our empirical analysis also accommodates the impact of different ownership structures (public and private sector) and the impact of financial crisis while analysing the determinants of poor asset quality of Indian commercial banks. Results reveal that bank‐, industry‐, and macroeconomic‐specific factors are responsible for the burgeoning nonperforming loan assets of Indian commercial banks. The results are qualitatively similar across different ownership structures. The findings suggest that forecasting models for nonperforming assets should also consider macroecomomic‐ and industry‐specific factors along with the bank‐ specific factors.

A Descriptive Study on Bank Performance in Malaysia: Domestic vs. Foreign Islamic Banks

Malaysia’s determination to become a hub for Islamic banking in Southeast Asia has led the Central Bank of Malaysia to grant licenses to foreign Islamic banks to operate in the country. Due to the intense competition among Islamic banks, the introduction of more innovative products is projected to tap investment opportunities not only for Malaysia but also for the rapidly growing Southeast Asian region. This paper assesses the performance of Malaysian Islamic banking industry since the introduction of the first Islamic bank two decades ago by using financial ratios. The ratios are divided into four categories; profitability, liquidity, risk and solvency, and commitment to economy and Muslim community. All 16 Islamic banks as listed by Bank Negara Malaysia were selected in the sample and to get the maximum number of observations, the period of 2005 to 2012 is selected. The chosen financial ratios indicated that domestic Islamic banks performed better during the 2005 to 2012 period in terms of profitability, but the foreign Islamic banks excelled in terms of liquidity, risk, and solvency ratios.

The impact of non-performing loans on households on the financial performance of banks in Macedonia

The credit portfolio in banks with the traditional model of banking hasdominant role in the banks’ operations and. Loan portfolio quality it is the main generator of the banks’ results. The basic indicator for quality of the credit portfolio is the share of non-performing loans to total credit portfolio. Very often, the NPL loans are also a source of other risks, as liquidity risk and solvencyand increase the risk profile of the bank.This paper investigates the influence of the non-performing ratio on houseeholds on the financial performance ofbanking system in the Republic of Macedonia for the period 2010-2017. The analysis presents correlation and regression between non-performing loan ratio on housholds and profitability indicators: rate of return on assets and rate of return on equity, as well as the capital adequacy.The results of correlation shows a moderately high, negative correlation between the non-performing loans ratio and rates of return on equity and return on assets. Regression analysis shows that increasing the non-performing loans ratio has influence to reduce the bank profitability. KEY WORDS: non-performing loans, banks, credit portfolio, profitability, capital adequacy

Ukrainian banking system efficiency after double reducing of the number of bank institutions

The article intends to evaluate the efficiency and performance of Ukrainian banking system based on two stages. The first stage, when the number of banks was on average the same during that period, and the second stage, that began in 2015 and when the number of banks began to fall quickly up to 82 institutions in 2018. The study is based on the model of dynamics norm of the banking system efficiency for two periods.The concept of efficiency was used based on the methods of non-parametric statistic to obtain performance estimates. The implementation of a dynamic model, based on the peculiarities of the banking system functioning, allows to obtain a generalized assessment of the economic efficiency of banking activity before and after critical change in the number of bank institutions. The correlation matrix between financial indicators of the banking system activity was created and the dynamic norm for the two periods was calculated. Given the analytical comparison of indicators, more effective period was identified. The general results of the study indicate that the overall efficiency of the banking system started to grow up since 2015.

Data Quality in Banking System: Case of Azerbaijan

Data quality in banking and financial sector is one of the most researched topics nowadays. With the increasing regulatory burden and increased importance of targeted sales, data quality directly influences funds and performance of banking system. In this paper, the author is aiming to define universal reasons and causes of data quality problem and apply the case to local Azerbaijani banks taking into account local managers’ personal view based on their banking experience. Key finding of the research is that unintegrated software, wrong data insertion, aging of data with the growing speed of market, corporate governance and inability to calculate true costs of low data quality to the local banks are the reasons of data quality issue in the local banks. Moreover, main costs of the data quality issue are time and money, appearance of hidden data factories, obstacles to apply and measure KPIs, uncorrelations in sensitivity analysis and ineffective marketing strategies.

Estimating the efficiency of Greek banking system during the last decade of world economic crisis

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the efficiency of the four largest Greek banking organizations for the period 2004–2014, including both a period of strong economic growth and a period of economic crisis and recession, which is still plaguing the Greek economy and more specifically the Greek banking sector.Design/methodology/approachThe study incorporates the application of financial ratio analysis and the data envelopment analysis (DEA) in order to calculate the technical efficiency of Greek financial institutions. More specifically, a two-stage output-oriented DEA model is developed in order to estimate the global efficiency of banks. The banking function is considered as consisting of two stages in series, a service/operational efficiency and a profitability efficiency. In both output-oriented models, methods of constant returns to scale and variable returns to scale were applied.FindingsThe results show that in terms of operational efficiency, banks started from a low rate of return in 2004, which improved until 2008, which marked the peak of operational efficiency. By 2010, the operating efficiency varied with downward trend until 2012–2013. In terms of profitability efficiency, the image is clearer, since the impact the financial crisis had on bank’s profit efficiency led, by 2012, to a plunge in the average efficiency by 30–40 percent.Originality/valueA multi-stage DEA process, input oriented, was used in order to estimate changes in the performance and efficiency of banking system. The period 2004–2014 has not been examined until recently and all previous studies used the output-oriented DEA model.

Ownership Structure and Efficiency of Banking Industry in China and Vietnam - A Political View

Ownership structure and the performance of banking industry have been long considered as a matter of debate. Despite of differences in perspective, both “development view” and “politics view” approve the desire of governments to control financial institutions through their ownership structure. This paper adopts the two-stage stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to examine the relation between ownership structure and bank’s efficiency in two long historic communism countries – China and Vietnam with the consideration of some political factors. Our result consistently indicates that banks with foreign-controlled shareholders in both countries can increase their efficiency significantly. Additionally, we uncover an interesting phenomenon that is during the election years, state-owned banks in China and Vietnam outperform the others. These banks are also the most beneficiaries from the economic expansion. Finally, meta-frontier is utilized to compare the relative performance of banking industry in these two countries.

The Impact of Motivations on Employees Performance: Case Study from Palestinian Commercial Banks

The survey data was collected through distributing a questionnaire on employees that working in Palestinian commercial banks. Relied on Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis, this paper reveals that moral motives are significantly and positively predicted employees performance. Moreover, the scholars find a high level of motivations provided to employees that working in Palestinian commercial banks. However, the material and social incentives are not predicted employees performance. On other side, the paper found that there are differences between the levels of motivation when it comes to the demographic data like qualifications, years of experiences, and job title. Finally, the study recommended that Palestinian banks needs to adapt and develop their motivation system in order to satisfy all employees’ moral needs.

Financial Performance Evaluation of Islamic Banking System: A Comparative Study among Malaysia’s Banks

The promotion of Islamic banking is parallel with the aim of Malaysia to be the pioneer of Islamic financial hub in the region. With the recent commitment, it is timely to further examine the performance of the industry constituents. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the performance of Islamic banking system in comparison to its conventional counterpart in Malaysia using CAMEL model. For that purpose, annual financial data collected from ten conventional and Islamic banks in Malaysia since 2004 until 2016 is used in the analysis. Both Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) estimations technique as suggested by Pedroni (2001) are employed. We find that conventional banking system performed better than its counterpart. The maturity of conventional banks which has treads Malaysia’s financial market earlier could plausibly dominate the results. Our evidence suggests that the regulators should strengthen Islamic banking system through more reforms and mergers to improve its capital, assets, management, earnings and liquidity

Bank Specifics, Economics Environment, And Agency Theory: Determinants Of Banking Performance In GCC

The financial models used in the literature to investigate the performance of banks show mixed results and a low R in many of the studies. Therefore, Agency theory can be used in addition to the financial models to give investors enough information about banking industry performance. The sample used in this study consist of accounting information (bank specifics) and market information (macroeconomic variables) for a group of national and foreign banks located in the GCC countries during the period 2002 to 2013. The final sample consists of 115 banks with completed data collected from Bankscope database for financial data. The macroeconomic data were collected from sources such as the International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics, National Statistics, and the World Bank. Regression models have been developed to examine the factors that may determine banks performance in the GCC. The results of the study provide evidence that the models used in this paper are significant, indicating that all models containing the above financial and macroeconomics factors are important and statistically significant in determining and explaining bank performance. Even though our results indicate that the above factors are important in measuring bank performance, we believe that the agency theory could be used to shed some lights and provide insights on factors affecting bank performance in the GCC countries. There appears to be a need for a common understanding, a balancing of risks with financial rewards, and a building of long-term relationships. The findings enhance our theoretical understanding of the importance of these factors in creating an environment of trust that governs the behavior of the owners and managers, and hence reduces the agency problem. As for general management, the results indicate that opportunistic behavior can be lessened by managing the relationship between the two parties through a contract that clearly specify these factors. Therefore, this paper paves the way for further research in this area.

Privatization of Banking Sector in Pakistan- A Case Study of MCB Bank Limited

This research study aimed at to explore the performance and efficiency of selected sample bank after its privatization. Privatization is the process to sale and transfers the assets of public sector entities to private sector to boost the laissez fair economy in line with international trends in the wake of failure of socialism and communism.
 Pakistan’s banking sector was performing very poor after the nationalization of banks in 1974 and witnessed financial indiscipline due to political interference in day to day activities particularly in hiring and lending which badly affected the quality of service on one hand and accumulation of bad debts on other. Therefore need was felt to privatize the state owned organizations with main objective to restrict the role government interference so that performance of banking industry of the country could be improved.
 Prior researchers worked a lot to identify the positive and negative effects of privatization on the performance of newly privatized firms’ globally. This research has been carried out to evaluate and assess the performance of MCB (Formerly Muslim Commercial Bank Limited) after privatization. The research revealed that bank has performed very well in terms of growth, profitability, liquidity and solvency. Financial ratios have been used to evaluate the performance and efficiency and were represented by using graphs. Software SPSS (statistical package for social science) was also used to gauge and find descriptive & graphical analysis. It was concluded that bank has shown tremendous growth in building deposits base, generating profits and ensuring long term solvency.
