Summary
- This paper provides new empirical evidence on the impact of financial liberalization on the performance of Indian commercial banks.
- The analysis focuses on examining the behavior and determinants of bank intermediation costs and profitability during the liberalization period.
- The empirical results suggest that:
- ownership type has a significant effect on some performance indicators; and
- the observed increase in competition during financial liberalization has been associated with lower intermediation costs and profitability of the Indian banks.
Empirical findings
- Ownership-type effects:
- Ownership type has a significant effect on some performance indicators (specific indicators not listed on the page overview).
- Competition and performance:
- Increased competition during financial liberalization is associated with lower intermediation costs.
- Increased competition during financial liberalization is associated with lower profitability of Indian banks.
