Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the impact of capital adequacy requirements on the profitability of Korean banks using DOLS model. As a result of the analysis, the impact of BIS capital ratios on commercial and regional banks was different. Demand for capital adequacy has a greater and more significant negative impact on regional banks than on commercial banks. It was shown that bank characteristic variables rather than macroeconomic variables have a more significant effect on bank profitability. In addition, a rise in the BIS capital ratio reduces the profitability of commercial and regional banks, and the higher the ratio of loan-loss provisions, the stronger the relationship. In the case of commercial banks, it is estimated that the demand for capital adequacy did not have a significant impact as they are relatively large and faithful in capital compared to regional banks. However, in the case of regional banks, safer assets need to be selected to meet the BIS capital ratio, and the increasing propotion of these safe assets seems to have a relatively greater negative impact on profitability. Consequency, the financial authorities should consider this results and implement the bank's capital regulation policy.

본 연구는 자본적정성 요구가 우리나라 은행의 수익성에 미치는 영향을 DOLS 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, BIS 자본비율이 시중은행과 지방은행에 미치는 영향이 상이하였다. 자본적정성 요구가 시중은행보다는 지방은행에 더 크고 유의한 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 거시경제변수보다는 은행특성변수들이 은행의 수익성에 더 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 BIS 자본비율이 상승하면 시중은행과 지방은행의 수익성이 감소하며, 대손충당금 비율이 높은 은행일수록 이러한 관계가 강화되는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 시중은행의 경우에는 지방은행에 비해 상대적으로 규모도 크고 자본도 상대적으로 충실한 편이이서 자본적정성 요구가 크게 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 지방은행의 경우에는 BIS 자본비율 충족을 위해서는 보다 안전한 자산을 선택할 필요가 있으며, 이러한 안전의 자산의 선택 비중이 증가함에 따라 수익성에 상대적으로 더 큰 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 보여 진다. 따라서 금융당국은 이러한 점을 고려하여 은행의 자본금 규제 정책을 시행하여야 할 것이다.
