Evaluating the performance of the Greek banking system

The major changes in the Greek banking system were realized during the last decades. Thus, it is reasonable to study the effect that these changes may have on the profitability of Greek banks. This paper intends to evaluate the performance and profitability factors of the Greek banking system. Based on their size, a classification of Greek banks into the group of small or large for the period 1998–2003 takes place. In order to investigate the differences of performance related with the size of banks, the discriminant analysis and the logistic regression have been used.
