This study delivers three important findings: first, shareholder concentration does affect the financial efficiency for SMEs involved in manufacturing sector in NCER; second, lower financial inputs and higher financial outputs produce higher financial efficiency SMEs involved in manufacturing sector in NCER; third, the distribution of financial efficiency is not balance across the three states in NCER.
