Internationally, the last two decades or so hav

Reforms, Productivity and Efficiency in Banking: The Indian Experience
Let me at the outset congratulate the Pakistan Society of Development Economists for organising this Conference. Issues of productivity and efficiency have been at the centre-stage of discussions in recent years. Nowhere is this truer than the financial sector, which is perceived to be the ‘brain’ of the economy (Stiglitz, 1998).
