Abstract
This study aims to answer the question: "What factors that influence the price of corporate loans in Indonesia?" And "Are there some differences in loan pricing between several types of creditors?". Furthermore, this research is to develop and test the loan pricing model that was developed in America and Europe to the context or setting in Asia, especially Indonesia. Different conditions and settings of the financial system between America/Europe and Asia, especially Indonesia, causing the loan pricing model that was developed in America/Europe can not be fully implemented for Indonesia. Key issues in this study consisted of: information asymmetry, moral hazard and funding structure. The first issue, information asymmetry consists of the type of creditors, foreign and domestic ownership, public and non-public ownership. The second issue, moral hazard problem consists of variables governmental and non-government ownership, and the special relationship between creditors and debtors. The last issue, creditors’ structure of funding is proxied by the ratio of CD / ML. In addition, this study also adobt the loan pricing models that are developed in America / Europe as control variables. This study also examines the argument of Strahan (1999) whether the loan fees also reflected the condition of the loan as well as loan spreads. The OLS regression (Ordinary Least Squares) with white correction method (White heteroskedasticity correction) for heteroscedasticity problem is conducted to test the model. Various samples and sub samples are prepared to answer various research questions and hypotheses. Testing between regression coefficients are conducted to examine differences in loan pricing between different types of creditors for each variable in the model. The test results generally show that only two new variables suggested by the study, namely: ownership and structure of funding have a significant contribution to the loan pricing model. For variable type of institution consisting of investment banks and commercial banks indicate that generally there is no difference in loan pricing between the two, only in some models of these variables are not significant with signs consistent.Ownership variable show results consistent with the hypothesis and significant effect on loan prices. While the variable special relationship between creditors and debtors have no effect on loan prices, it is due to inter-group loans made by conglomerates. For the case of capital costs of the creditor shows that the variable has a positive effect on lending rates set by creditors. Testing different regression coefficients lead to the conclusion that domestic creditors succeeded in detecting an increased risk of the debtor before the economic crisis of 1997 compared with foreign creditors.
Highlights
Loan pricing is a critically important topic in the study of financial institutions (Swank, 1996). Smith (1980) develop the loan pricing balance model based on option pricing theory and later were empirically tested by Booth (1992)
6.6 Test for Model 6 Model 6 test is done to check hypothesis no.6 about public ownership percentage in creditor that play a negative role in loan pricing decision
Test result for model 6 can be seen in table 7. and we can conclude that public ownership percentage variable from creditor has positive significant regression coefficient at 10% level for overall samples, and 5% level for non financial sample
Summary
Loan pricing is a critically important topic in the study of financial institutions (Swank, 1996). Smith (1980) develop the loan pricing balance model based on option pricing theory and later were empirically tested by Booth (1992). Previous study showed that government owned corporations tend to have higher moral hazard and perquisites issues compare to non government owned corporations (Shapiro and Willig, 1990; Boycko, et al, 1996; Shleifer and Vishnny, 1994), which will increase the risk and loan pricing The low price credit will trigger overinvestment to the companies in business groups, since the availability of extra fund will motivate debtor to invest in negative NPV portfolio It showed that the special relationship between creditor and debtor will make the loan pricing decision no longer reflect the risk, which means that cheaper loan pricing granted by creditor is insufficient compare to the high risk level of the debtor. The higher term deposit proportion in creditor funding, lead to higher bank’s cost of equity, which results in higher loan pricing decision charged by commercial bank
