Also, the interaction between cost efficiency and bank activities within each country’s macroeconomic environment presents an attractive outcome of expense preference behavior.The paper advocated for prioritization of cost efficiency which has the tendencies of attaining both utilization of available resources and higher returns to satisfy all the stakeholders.
