“…This result aligns with [ 57 ], who find that foreign ownership is associated with higher bank efficiency, and [ 58 ] claiming that foreign presence improves bank efficiency, primarily in countries with high financial freedom. However, Al-Tamimi and Hussein [ 59 ] who examine bank performance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 1997 to 2001, report that most UAE commercial banks are poorly management and domestic banks are better organized than foreign ones. Likewise, Turk [ 60 ] examines cost efficiency in Lebanese banks following a period of deregulation and discovers that domestic banks are as efficient as their foreign rivals.…”

Efficiency, market concentration and bank performance during the COVID-19 outbreak: Evidence from the MENA region

This study aims to contribute to the existing literature that explores the impact of market concentration on bank efficiency in emerging economies. Using a sample of 225 banks in 18 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region over the period 2006–2020, we empirically investigate the significance of this relationship. Since the evidence of concentration effect on efficiency during the COVID-19 outbreak is ambiguous, we test the hypothesis that the efficiency is positively affected by the level of banking market concentration in the MENA region. We adopt fixed effect model specifications and test the robustness of our results with the two-step Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation technique. Our analysis finds a strong positive association between market concentration and bank efficiency. The analysis of different types of banking systems that co-existing in the MENA region (Islamic and conventional) indicates the market concentration effect is more pronounced when the banking institution is Islamic and during the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, the better economic performance of Islamic banks during the initial stage of pandemic further increases their efficiency. Our analysis indicated that the impact of market competitive conditions on bank efficiency varies significantly across banks with different ownership structures and is more pronounced for government-owned banks. The results are robust using different model specifications and alternative estimation techniques.

“…They concluded that analysis shows averagely high efficiency. In 2008 Loukoianova [12] analyzed the efficiency and profitability of Japanese banks from [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006] showing that the performance of Japanese banks has increasingly improved since 2001 [13]. Comparing relative ranking on efficiency for banks in the United Arab Emirates Al-Tamimi concludes that the domestic banks are relatively more efficient than the foreign banks.…”

Main objective of this research is to measure an efficiency of commercial banks operating in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in period 2016-2017. An analysis is conducted over 12 banks that had positive overall profit lost at the end of 2016 and 2017 years published by Banking Agency of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with two input and three output parameters is used for efficiency measurement. Each bank’s efficiency is presented for 2016 and 2017 years. For observed period, large banks showed more efficient than small banks. Based on the results shown in this research and features used in this model there is significant difference in relative efficiency of top two banks and rest of 10 banks.

“…Al-Tamimi and Lootah (2007) investigated the operating and profitability efficiency of 15 branches of UAE-based commercial bank utilizing the DEA method. Al-Tamimi (2008) used DEA to identify the relatively best-performing banks and relatively worst-performing banks in UAE. Avkiran (2009) illustrated an application of network DEA in the context of banking in UAE.…”

This study aims to review the related literature on operations research (OR)/management science (MS) in the Arab world published during the last three decades. Owing to the nature of this study, an extensive survey of the related literature was conducted and inferences were drawn. The inferences drawn from the literature survey on OR/MS in the Arab world were first, there is a paucity of published real‐world applications of OR/MS. Second, there is a lack of published survey‐type studies in most Arab countries, except in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates. Third, the majority of published works on OR/MS were of a conceptual nature. A few papers concerned with OR/MS in the Arab world were published during the 1980s, with a special emphasis on conceptual issues rather than on applied or survey‐type studies. The 1990s witnessed an increased number of publications on both survey‐type and conceptual studies. Since 2000, the number of publications has increased substantially, mainly through conceptual studies. This study has a number of implications for both practitioners and researchers. Practitioners will be made aware of the applications of OR/MS in the Arab world and the type of problems that have been addressed. This, in turn, might motivate the decision makers and the managers to adopt OR/MS approaches in solving their organizations' problems. As a result, this might increase the usage of OR/MS in this part of the world. Researchers will be able to identify the OR/MS research areas that need more attention in the Arab world. The study mainly covers the studies that are written in English and indexed in non‐Arabic databases. Although the Arabic works were not surveyed exhaustively, the author reviewed and included some available OR/MS works written in Arabic. This study is considered as the first work of its type in surveying the scholarly publications pertaining to OR/MS in the Arab world since the 1980s.
