Resumen
The main goal of this study is to analyse whether the source of capital in
foreign participation in the domestic banking markets of countries that joined the
EU after 2004 influences the evolution of efficiency levels in domestic banks and,
consequently, the efficiency levels within these markets. It assesses the level of
activity of foreign commercial banks in the aftermath of the 2008 – 2012 financial
crisis and explores its relationship with banking sector efficiency. The study focuses
on 13 countries, including Central European, South-Eastern European and Baltic
states. Using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, the research aims to
determine whether foreign banks have gained or lost influence in these markets
and the foreign countries that have the best performing banks in these markets.
Furthermore, it provides insights into the potential influence of sources of foreign
capital on the overall performance of domestic banking markets, indicating how
competition could drive high-achieving foreign banks to outperform in their established
markets.
