The globalization of financial markets has enhanced the economic links between the markets and hence has deepened the integration of financial institutions. As a result, financial institutions are forced to examine their performance and productive efficiencies. Hence, in response, banking firms have been trying to adopt and to adjust themselves to improve their productive efficiencies in the changing social and economic environment. The performance of the banks both in the public and private sectors has become more market driven with growing emphasis on better performance. The book attempts: (i) To explore the broad structure of banking system in India; (ii) To analyze the overall efficiency of the system in terms various financial parameters; and (iii) To delineate and analyze the overall efficiency into its components: technical efficiency and allocation efficiency.
