Using TOPSIS Method for Financial Performance Assessment: A Study of Selected Scheduled Banks in Bangladesh Analysis of Financial Performance of Banks with TOPSIS and Fuzzy TOPSIS Approach

Abstract

Several studies have examined the financial performance of banks using multi-criteria decision-making methods such as TOPSIS and Fuzzy TOPSIS. These studies seek to assess the efficiency of banks in competitive and uncertain environments. One of these studies examined the performance of 19 Bangladeshi banks in the period 2000 to 2013 using the TOPSIS method. This study compared the performance of public, private and foreign banks and showed that foreign and private banks have better overall performance than public banks. This study was conducted using 25 financial ratios in four main categories and weighting with the Shannon entropy method. Also, another study examined the performance of the top seven banks in Turkey in the period 2014 to 2018 using the TOPSIS and Fuzzy TOPSIS methods. This study showed that both methods provide similar results in performance evaluation. By emphasizing the importance of measuring bank performance, these studies help investors, customers, and policymakers make better decisions and clarify the key role of performance evaluation in improving bank strategies.
