Performance test has become an important tool for banking sector and banks
should implement performance test if they want to increase their level of
competitiveness in today’s highly competitive environment. Banking sector has
always been very important factor for developing national economy. Preference
Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) is one
of the most recent Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods and has
been successfully implemented in many fields.
This paper argues the possibility of using PROMETHEE method for measuring
the financial performance of three public banks in Turkey by using two data sets.
First data set is for the period from 2002 to 2007, and the second data set is from
2008 to 2012. Two data sets are determined and used in order to compare two
periods – before the global financial crises (2002-2007), and during the global
financial crises (2008-2012). PROMETHEE method is applied to the obtained
data sets rigorously by using ten criteria for each bank.
The results of this paper show the possibility of using the PROMETHHE method
in order to determine financial performance of public banks in Turkey.
