The aim is to analyze how market liberalisation influences bank performance across different countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Utilized annual data from 1995 to 2022 covering 19 countries.
Assessed bank performance using efficiency, profitability, and stability metrics.
Analyzed data using GMM estimation and Driscoll-Kraay effect estimator.
Economic freedom demonstrates a robust positive impact on efficiency and profitability, p<0.05.
Stability effects vary and are not consistently significant under stringent conditions.
Subsample analysis indicates that liberalisation can stabilize banks in low-income but destabilize in high-income contexts.
