Abstract

The non-performing loans problem and the low efficiency of Chinese state banks led the Chinese government to undertake a financial reform over the period of 1998 to 2006. Nevertheless, Chinese state banks' productivity declined during the early 2000's, raising concerns about a financial crisis in China. This paper analyzes fourteen Chinese banks' technical efficiency and productivity change during the period of financial reform. The efficiency analysis shows that the overall Chinese banking industry became more efficient with the turning point of 2003. However, the productivity analysis finds a fall in Chinese state banks' productivity after 2003, indicating that their potential for productivity growth began to weaken from that point.
