Abstract

The research aims to measure the efficiency and super efficiency of the private banks listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange for the period (2015-2020). And to show the impact of the Corona crisis on the efficiency and super efficiency indicators for these banks, which were measured using the Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) model and through the use of (accrued expenses, total deposits and paid capital) as inputs and (long-term investments, weighted average share and net loans) as outputs. The research concluded that the United Bank and the International Bank are the best operating banks in the research sample, as they achieved super efficiency and efficiency over the period (2015-2020) for a period of six years and was it occupies the first place. And the National Bank and the National Bank are inefficient and have not achieved any level of efficiency over the period (2015-2020) and their last rank came because of that. The research recommended reducing the inputs and resources used for banks that suffer from not reaching the optimal and efficient size, especially the bank the parents and the second National Bank did not reach the level of efficiency compared to the banks in the research sample. As well as the improvement of the indicators of some banks that did not achieve levels of efficiency by maximizing their outputs, and this needs a strategic change in addition to using the plans used by the United Bank and the International Bank and the administrative methods used. Considering them as reference banks, following in their footsteps and benefiting from their experience to achieve high levels of efficiency.
