Another chapter that evaluates bank performance using accounting data is 80 percent completed. We have obtained many interviews with bankers and others interested in the research in Mexico City and have gained valuable comments from them. We are collecting bank stock prices from Data stream and will complete the stock analysis this fall 1996. Also, we have surveyed Mexican and foreign bankers in Mexico City, tabulated the results, and written a report for inclusion in the book. Analysis of market competitiveness and cost efficiency in Mexican banking will be run in late fall 1996.
Additional work is needed to complete the proposed book.
Chapters on cost efficiency and competitiveness in the Mexican banking industry are unfinished. It is hoped that these analysis will be conducted this academic year. Discussions with McGraw-Hill are underway. None at this time.
