The aim of the paper is to examine the efficiency of the banking sectors in Visegrad countries during the period 2009-2013. The group of Visegrad countries includes the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. We apply Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to data on commercial banks in the group of Viserad countries. Next, we calculated average efficiency of the groups of banks according the total assets. Average efficiency was slightly decreased during the period 2010-2011 and significantly decreased in 2012 which was probably as a result of financial crisis. In 2013 average efficiency increased. The Czech and Hungarian banking sector was the highest efficient. Considering the group of banks according total assets, the group of small banks was the most efficient in CCR model and the group of medium-sized banks was the most efficient in BCC model.

Keywords: banking sector, commercial banks, Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis, efficiency, Visegrad countries, constant return to scale, variable return to scale
