This paper employs severalefficiency measures and productivity changes using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) to investigate efficiency performance of Islamic banks in Sudan. Ourresults indicate, among twelve banks included in our sample only two banks,(the largest bank in the group which is government owned, and middle sized,private bank), score technical efficiency level (i.e. scale and pure technicalefficiency). While the smallest bank in the group (private owned), score puretechnical efficiency (i.e., managerial efficiency), but scale inefficient.These results imply ownership is not a constraint of managerial and scaleefficiency but bank’s size is important factor for scale efficiency.
