description Productivity measures are indicators of success, by which the performance of any individual finance company as well as the industry can be gauged. There have been rapid changes in financial industry structure occurring around the world since 19701s. In Asia, countries are restructuring banking regulations and encouraging financial liberalization, in an attempt to increase financial industry efficiency. The financial industry has also undergone multiple growth in new products and facilities in recent years as a result of advances in technology and telecommunications. These developments would have an impact on the competitiveness and hence on the performances of any financial institutions, particularly the Malaysian finance companies. The aim of this study is to investigate the productivity growth amongst the finance companies in Malaysia from 1988 to 1996.
