Abstract

The bank supervision in China promotes four instruments coming from Basel III standards announced from Basel committee. What effects will it have on Chinese commercial banks This paper develops models with a sample of 29 commercial banks in China by measuring risk averse with Z-score, and finds that: Z-score is positive to capital adequacy ratio and negative to liquid ratio significantly; performance is positive to liquid ratio, Z-score is negative to loan loss reservation ratio significantly. It suggests that the four instruments are good for increasing Z-score, reducing solvency probability and stimulating bank performance.
