| Description |
This study could be the first attempt to analyze the performance of the Cambodian financial sector from the viewpoint of microeconomics. The study examines the operational efficiency and productivity of 18 major financial institutions in Cambodia during the period 2006 to 2011. Data envelopment analysis was used to estimate the efficiency of business operations, and the Malmquist productivity index was used to identify the reasons for productivity changes. Empirical results reveal that the efficiency scores were higher in large institutions than in small ones. When measured using a value-added approach that focused on the fund mobilization capability of financial institutions, the efficiency of domestic institutions was found to be better than that of their foreign counterparts. When measured using an operational approach that focused on the income-earning capacity of institutions, there was no significant difference in technical efficiency between domestic and foreign institutions. It was also observed that Cambodian financial institutions suffered a slight drop in total factory productivity during the research period. These observations suggest that further improvement of the technical efficiency of Cambodian financial institutions requires an increase in the operational capacity of individual institutions and the introduction of advanced technologies and skills.
