Abstract

This paper studies the technical efficiency of Saudi banking sector using stochastic frontier model. A sample of 12 banks over the period 2000 - 2011 is selected to investigate their technical efficiencies in mobilizing deposits, allocating investments and generating income. The banks are categorized as Saudi-owned banks, Saudi - foreign owned banks and Islamic banks. The findings show some consistent pattern of these bank types; and there exist significant disparities among the banks in terms of technical efficiency. The banque Saudi Fransi stands out as a benchmark for the industry, and it is a Saudi -foreign owned bank type. The Saudi owned bank type has shown fluctuating performance during the period; and the Islamic bank type is not significantly different from Saudi-owned bank type.
