- Abstract
Preventing and mitigating commercial bank risks is an important part of promoting the high-quality development of the financial industry. Whether and how the digital transformation of banks mitigates their risk level has important research value. This paper takes the sample of commercial banks from 2011 to 2021 to study the impact of digital transformation on the risk level of commercial banks and the mechanism of its role. The results of the study show that, first, digital transformation can significantly reduce the risk level of commercial banks. Second, the mechanism test results show that the above effects are mainly realized through the two paths of improving information-seeking ability and profitability. Third, the heterogeneity study finds that the inhibitory effect of digital transformation on bank risk levels is stronger among large banks, state-owned banks, and rural commercial banks. The findings of this paper are conducive to promoting the digital transformation of commercial banks, which in turn improves their risk management capabilities.
