No WP/23/2018, Working Papers from Bank Indonesia

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of liquid capital flows on bank behavior, particularly on risk-taking behavior. This study employs three sections of empirical assessment, namely (i) industry level estimations; (ii) industry-level estimations which allow different characteristics of large banks; and (iii) multi-country analysis that covers data of emerging market economies. Estimation results suggest that capital inflows, particularly in the form of portfolio investment, is significant in raising banks' risk-taking behavior. Moreover, large banks are less aggressive in their risk taking behavior vis a vis smaller banks. Such impact of portfolio investment on risk-taking behavior is also shown in multi-country assessments. There is some evidence that the effect of portfolio investment on risk-taking behavior is relatively persistent.
