The Effects of Prudential Policy Measures on Financial Stability in Post-Transition Countries

2013

The empirical research of prudential measures effectiveness is still scarce, especially for central and southeast European countries. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of prudential policy on financial stability of post-transition bank-oriented countries using panel data analysis approach. Using the sample of central and southeast European countries for the period 1998 – 2010, we found that these measures generally reduce the level of non-performing loans, increase the level of profitability, partially affect banking system liquidity, but do not improve credit to deposit ratio. We point out two main conclusions: (1) prudential measures positively affect banking system stability expressed through financial stability indicators; (2) prudential measures represent important instrument of a central bank orchestra.

The effects of prudential policies on bank leverage and insolvency risk in Central and Eastern Europe

Economic Modelling, 2019

This paper analyses the effects of prudential policies on leverage and insolvency risk in eleven Central and Eastern Europe banking systems in the 2005-2014 period. It explores the relationship between leverage, insolvency risk and regulation variables, and the temporal patterns of this relationship. It also examines whether the effects of prudential policies on leverage and insolvency risk are influenced by bank ownership structure and financial cycle. The paper finds a consistent link between prudential regulation and leverage, which varies over the sample period. Conversely, the insolvency risk shows a stronger relationship with macroprudential policies. The estimates reveal that prudential policies work better on leverage and z-score for foreign banks. Both leverage and insolvency risk are better mitigated over booms. Finally, prudential policies have similar effects on both domestic and foreign banks' stability in normal times, while the effects are opposite during turbulences. These dissimilarities are raising challenges to the conduct of prudential policies.

The impact of prudential regulation on bank capital and risk-taking: The case of MENA countries

The Spanish Review of Financial Economics, 2016

The main purpose of this paper is to assess the simultaneous impact of regulatory pressures on banks' capital and risk-taking behavior using a panel of 24 banks operating in the MENA region over the period 2004-2012. Using many panel data estimation techniques, we provide evidence that prudential regulations fail in reducing banks' risk-taking incentives and in increasing capital. We find also that bank profitability is positively associated with capitalization level suggesting that the underdevelopment of financial markets in MENA countries leads banks to rely more on internal resources to build their capital buffer. Our findings reveal also a strong negative relationship between the bank size and risk suggesting that large banks have more experience in managing their risk levels through diversification.

Bank prudential and bank stability– how far do they go

Journal of Banking and Financial Economics

This paper leverages the IMF's Financial Access Survey (FAS) database to construct a new composite index of financial inclusion. The topic of financial inclusion has gathered significant attention in recent years. Various initiatives have been undertaken by central banks both in advanced and developing countries to promote financial inclusion. The issue has also attracted increasing interest from the international community with the G-20, IMF, and World Bank Group assuming an active role in developing and collecting financial inclusion data and promoting best practices to improve financial inclusion. There is general recognition among policy makers that financial inclusion plays a significant role in sustaining employment, economic growth, and financial stability. Nonetheless, the issue of its robust measurement is still outstanding. The new composite index uses factor analysis to derive a weighting methodology whose absence has been the most persistent of the criticisms of previous indices. Countries are then ranked based on the new composite index, providing an additional analytical tool which could be used for surveillance and policy purposes on a regular basis.

The Analysis of Financial and Prudential Banking Indicators in the Romanian Banking Sector During the Crisis and Postcrisis

2015

The current dynamics of the worldwide banking system and the changes that have taken place generally in the banking systems around the world and particularly in the banking system in Romania, became the main reason we chose to make the research in this field. The Romanian banking system has gone through several steps in order to achieve the convergence to international provisions. The financial and prudential banking indicators are important signals of health of the banking sector as a whole, and their study has been a constant concern for various national and international financial institutions such as National Bank of Romania, IMF, ECB, World Bank but also for the researchers in the field, and their analysis in the Romanian banking system represents a research of great topical interest.

Prudential Regulation and Banking Risk in MENA Countries Prudential Regulation and Banking Risk in MENA Countries

2018

This paper analysis the impact of prudential regulation on banking risk using the measurement technique "z-score" by introducing the financial and economic determinants (real GDP growth rate, inflation, real GDP growth rate, inflation, the governance indicator, etc.). For this reason, we used a sample of 146 conventional banks in the MENA region during the 2003-2014 period, whose purpose was to determine the specificities of these countries about the determinants of banking risk.

The stage of accession negotiations is in progress, and it includes the full harmonization with the EU acquis, whereby the analytical review of legislation, the so-called screening is being carried out in 35 chapters.

As the financial services sector adjusts within chapter 9, the aim of this paper is to assess the level of compliance of national legislation with the EU legislation regarding banking sector. Along with the regulatory initiatives in the field of preserving financial stability in the EU countries, the NBS has paid great attention to the harmonization o...

Does prudential capital reduce bank risk-taking? Empirical evidence from the Indonesian banks industry

Jurnal Ekonomi & Studi Pembangunan

The implementation of macroprudential supervision, significantly tighter capital regulation in developing economies, has recently been debated, which focuses on reducing bank risk-taking and promoting financial stability in the banking sector. Our study investigates the impact of prudential capital on commercial bank risk-taking in Indonesia. We employed a GMM system approach to analyze bank and macro level data from 2004 to 2019. Our result confirms that appropriate capital regulations for reducing bank risk-taking are heterogeneous. Traditional capital ratios decrease bank risk-taking. However, the risk-based capital ratio shows an unexpected affirmative effect. Implementing macroprudential policy instruments of capital buffer effectively manages bank risk, and so does the regulatory capital pressure variable. The results are intimate for guiding commercial banks' risk management and capital effectiveness.

Foreign banks and credit stability in Central and Eastern Europe. A panel data analysis

Journal of Banking & Finance, 2006

We study whether foreign and domestic banks in Central and Eastern Europe have reacted differently to business cycle conditions and host country banking crises. Our unique panel dataset comprises data of more than 300 banks for the period 1993-2000, with detailed information on bank ownership. Our analysis shows that during crisis periods domestic banks contracted their credit and deposit bases, whereas foreign banks did not. Also, home country conditions matter for foreign bank growth, as there is a significant and negative relationship between home country economic growth and host country credit by foreign banks.
