Using accounting-based ratio, the results suggest that interest margin and operating cost are slightly higher for domestic banks than for foreign banks. Further, the results also suggest that profit ratios are slightly higher for foreign banks relative to domestic banks. Using the stochastic frontier approach, the results indicate that domestic banks are found to be more cost-efficient but less profit - efficient relative to foreign banks .
