The study finds that bond market size and structure are relevant to bank efficiency. A larger bond market is generally associated with higher profit efficiency and lower cost efficiency of commercial banks. Given bond market size, a larger share of corporate bonds will enhance both bank profit and cost efficiency. The policy implications of this paper are that balanced and well-developed capital markets will benefit banking sector operations.
