The Impact of Risk-Based Capital Regulation On NPL Ratio and Operating Performance

Abstract
With the liberalization and globalization, the scope for banks is much more sophisticated in decade. Accompanied with Asian Financial Crisis, the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of domestic financial institutions has increased significantly. Consequently, this research adopts 2SLS to estimate simultaneous equations and examines the impact of risk-based capital regulation on NPL ratio and operating performance. The empirical results are summarily as following:
1. There exists a negative relationship between capital adequacy ratio and NPL ratio, which means that the higher the capital adequacy ratio is, the lower the NPL loan will be. Therefore, adopting the capital regulation will be helpful to improve the balance-sheet structure.
2. With the change of capital adequacy ratio, ROE moves in the same direction; that is, there is a positive relationship between capital adequacy ratio and ROE. Usually, the high-profit companies have more cash flow to support the capital requirement.
3. Examining the effectiveness of ¡§First-Stage Financial Reform Policy¡¨, we find that only 12% and 26% of the banks are not qualified for capital adequacy ratio and NPL ratio, respectively.. Thus, the ¡§First-Stage Financial Reform Policy¡¨ has achieved the preliminary goal.
4. We adopt t-test to distinguish whether the difference between actual and standard figures is significantly large for those disqualified banks. It shows that the main factor might be because of the essential problem of bad asset-debt structure, and not the lack of time to adapt themselves to the new regulation.
