Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a new empirical evidence on the impact of economic globalization on the efficiency of the banking sector. The paper also investigates to what extent the internal (i.e. bank specific characteristics) and external (i.e. macroeconomic conditions) factors influence the efficiency of banks while controlling for the impact of the different dimensions of globalization. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is confined into two stages. In the first stage, the authors employ the bias-corrected data envelopment analysis method to compute the efficiency of individual banks during the period 1999-2012. The authors then use bootstrap regressions to examine the impact of economic globalization on bank efficiency, while controlling for the potential impacts of contextual variables. Findings The empirical findings indicate that the impacts of personal contacts, information flows, and cultural proximity seem to work in favor of Malaysian banks’ efficiency. A plausible reason could be due to the fact that capital account liberalization is usually accompanied by liberalization of the financial services sector, resulting in a greater competition and subsequently eroding monopolistic profits. The empirical findings also bring forth the importance of and political globalization in determining the efficiency of banks operating in the Malaysian banking sector. Originality/value The present study aims to provide for the first time empirical evidence on the performance of the banking sector and to establish new empirical evidence on the impact of globalization. The empirical evidence on the impact of globalization on the banking sector is completely missing from the literature.

Purpose – The paper aims to explore the impact of economic freedom on the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is confined into two stages. In the first stage, the bias-corrected data envelopment analysis method is used to compute the efficiency of individual banks. Then bootstrap regressions are used to examine the impact of economic freedom on bank efficiency, while controlling for the potential impacts of contextual variables. Findings – It was found that greater freedom to start new businesses tend to impede the efficiency of banks operating in the Malaysian banking sector. The results indicate that restrictions on the activities of which banks could undertake exert negative impact on their efficiency levels. The empirical findings seem to support for official regulation and supervision of banks by setting the limits on activities which banks could undertake. In addition evidence supporting for government interventions in the foreign exchange and money markets was found. Originality/value – The purpose of the present paper is to extend the earlier works on the performance of the banking sector in a developing economy and establish empirical evidence on the impact of economic freedom. Although empirical evidence which examines the performance of banking sectors is abundant in the literature, to the best of our knowledge, virtually nothing has been published to address the impact of economic freedom.

<p class="zhengwen">This study sought to evaluate the performance of banks in the Jordanian banking sector, where DEA approach has been used for a sample of banks operating in Jordan amounted to 16 banks (10 Jordanian banks and 6 foreign banks operating in Jordan) during 2014 and by using the variables: Deposits and liabilities<strong>,</strong> Total expenses<strong> </strong>and Dedicated asset as main inputs for banks and which represent the main activity of banks, and the variables : Credit facilities<strong> </strong>and Net Income<strong> </strong>as outputs of the banks using the statistical software SIAD.</p>The current study has concluded that all banks operating in Jordan have a surplus in resources untapped optimally and over the investment opportunities available to these banks, and the reason beyond this may be due to the reservation policy of banks, especially after the mortgage crisis suffered by these banks. The study has also concluded that foreign banks operating in Jordan have achieved efficiency ratio more than the Jordanian banks, and this can be attributed to the financing experience of foreign banks’ managements and their international spread which is more than the Jordanian banks’.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relevance of the bank lending channel (BLC) of monetary policy and the bank efficiency in Egypt. Design/methodology/approach This paper examines the effectiveness of bank lending channel using generalized method of moments GMM model during the period from 1996 to 2014. Also, it uses stochastic frontier approach (SFA) to examine the bank efficiency in Egypt. Findings This study supports the relevance of the BLC using panel data. Moreover, applying SFA, this paper computes cost efficiency taking account of both time and country effects directly. The finding suggests that banks with low inflation and high GDP tend to perform more efficiently. Research limitations/implications The limitation of the study is examining one country only. Practical implications The finding signals that the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) should adjust interest rate in order to stabilize the bank loan supply. Social implications It is important for the CBE and Egyptian banks because it highlights the importance of BLC. Originality/value It examines one channel of monetary policy and bank efficiency in Egypt.

There has been long-standing debate over whether or not firms gain economic competiveness from reducing their impact on the environment. Although ample literature is available on association between environmental performance and financial performance across various sectors, little empirical evidence is available in context of Indian banking sector. This research aims to analyze whether there is any significant relationship between environmental performance and financial performance of banks operating in India for a period 2013-14 to 2017-18. Secondary data has been collected for a sample of 83 banks operating in India. Content analysis was applied to extract information about environmental performance disclosed by sample banks followedby construction of environmental disclosure score index. Hierarchical multiple regression was applied to analyze relationship between environmental performance and financial performance after controlling for effects of size, financial leverage and capital intensity. Results exhibit no significant relationship between environmental performance and financial performance of banks operating in India. Findings of this research are expected to provide insight to users and readers of financial statements to have better understanding about the environmental practices carried out by banks. It would also contribute significantly towards decision making for policy makers in Indian banking sector to establish mandatory environmental legislations for reporting on environmental practices in order to improve non financial disclosure and financial performance in Indian banking sector.

Current trends in the development of Ukrainian banks are associated with the intensification of financial globalization processes. Under the influence of the growing presence of foreign capital, Ukrainian banks have faced increased competition and an exacerbation of the problem of limited financing in the domestic market. In the open national market, banks are forced to look for competitive advantages in order to improve access to financial resources and implement effective long-term partnerships with foreign investors. The creation of quality corporate management under international standards is an important advantage for the investors. The need to increase the level of corporate management according to the best international practices determines the importance of the investigation and substantiation of the areas for improvement based on the analysis of internal factors and conditions of banking business development. Conflict of interest is a major problem of corporate management. The investment community, professional circles, as well as regulatory authorities of the countries pay great attention to the problems of organizing relations of companies and banks with shareholders and other stakeholders. There are some approaches to determining the range of stakeholders. Managers and shareholders are considered in the narrow sense. In the broad sense, the list can include all the possible stakeholders. High quality of corporate management is one of the key conditions for bank efficiency. The interests of the owners are completely consistent with the achievement of high profitability, which is the main criterion of efficiency. In turn, the requirements of creditors to the level of risk on the operations of the credit institution is largely the factor of its sustainability in the long run. The ways of solving problems of corporate governance in banks are proposed in this paper. The theoretical foundations of corporate management in banks are substantiated. The specifics of the organization of relations between the participants of corporate relations in the bank are highlighted. It is noted that many issues related to corporate management in credit institutions lie outside the legal system and are ethical rather than legal.
