Abstract

The main objective of this study is to measure banking efficiency of Libyan banks during 2010-2019. The study employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) input-orientated model. Constat Return to Scale (CRS) and Variable Return to Scale (VRS) were used to measure the relative efficiency. The study follows intermediation approach to select two inputs and two outputs.  The study includes three sections plus introduction and conclusion, section one: previews studies, section two: literature review, and section three: practical study. The result shows that the Libyan banks do not manage their sources and inputs efficiently, the average of overall technical efficiency of Libyan banks is 84.1%, which means there was waste of 15.9% of input, in addition, average of PTE and SE  93%, 90.6% respectively. the findings indicate that private banks more efficient than state banks, also large banks more efficient than small bank.
