Abstract
:
The study attempts to analyze the technical efficiency of the banking system in Kuwait vis-à-vis other banking systems in the GCC region using data envelopment analysis, in order to assess the relative competitiveness of the banking system in Kuwait and to evaluate its capacity to effectively play the role as a regional financial center if Kuwait decided to press ahead for that project. The study uses two different approaches to assess technical efficiency; the production approach and the financial intermediation approach. Profit efficiency is also calculated for different banking systems in the area. The results of the study show that, compared to other banks in the region, the banking system in Kuwait in generally technically inefficient. It is also less efficient in terms of profit efficiency. None of the Kuwaiti banks appear in the peer group of banks, and only one bank found to be among the best performers in the area. The results cast doubts about the ability of the current banking system of Kuwait to effectively work as the region's financial center.
