Abstract: Abstract The process of financial reform undertaken by both developed and developing countries aimed to establish a market-based financial sector, to boost bank competition through improved mobilisation of savings, to enhance market-based allocation of resources and to foster more efficient risk-management capabilities. However, the conventional wisdom relating to the positive effect of reforms on financial sector performance is not always validated by empirical studies (Berger et al., 2000). Despite a vast literature on the effects of deregulation on the efficiency and productivity of banks (see Berger and Mester, 2003; Mukherjee et al., 2001; Isik and Hassan, 2003; Zhao et al., 2010; among others) deregulation seems to have had a positive effect in some countries but not in others. Indeed, the outcome of deregulation policies seems to reflect several country-specific demand and supply conditions of the banking industry prior to deregulation.
