Inbae Kim (Ewha Womans University)Year 2022Vol. 15No. 3
Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of the macroprudential policy, the financial
supervisory’s independence and the bank’s external governance on the financial
stability and the systemic crisis possibility of the banking industry. The results
are as follows: (i) The banking sector’s systemic crises should not be analized
as an extreme extension of its financial unstability. (ii) Those key policy and
governances have a long run sustaining effects which indicate that they might
improve the banks’ fundamentals qualitatively. (iii) The macroprudential policy
and the financial supervisory’s independence enhance the financial stability, while
the former has more positive effect in the countries where its strength is
comparatively lower than the other countries. (iv) The bank’s external
governance reduces the financial stability, but it also has a positive effect, that
can be found distinctly in the countries where the strength of the external
governance is comparatively lower than the other countries. (v) The
macroprudential policy and the external governance tend to be immediately
effective in reducing the possibility of systemic crises.
