The Influence of Digital Payment Implementation on Banking Stability in Indonesia (A Study on Conventional Banks in Indonesia Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange)

This study aims to investigate the influence of digital payments on the stability of conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Additionally, the research will delve into the role of banking asset quality and liquidity as control variables that may regulate the relationship between digital payments and financial stability. In examining the relationship between digital payments for MSMEs and financial system stability within the conventional banking system listed on the IDX from 2012 to 2022, the research begins by measuring digital payments and banking system stability. Sampling is conducted using purposive sampling, resulting in a collection of 27 conventional banks. The data analysis method for this research includes descriptive analysis, instrument tests, classical assumption tests, t-tests, F-tests, and hypothesis testing using multiple regression analysis. The research findings indicate that ZScore, return on assets, and return on equity have a positive effect on the stability of conventional banks in Indonesia, using Non-Performing Loans and Loan to Deposit Ratio as control variables. Thus, this study supports and strengthens previous research.

The Impact of Monetary Policies on the U.S. Financial Crisis

This paper examines the role of monetary policy in addressing economic crises by analyzing four significant events in U.S. history: Great depression, stagflation in 1970-198, the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19. The monetary policy in the country's economic management has been highlighted in order to resist the decline in financial activity, inflation, large-scale unemployment, and economic recession. History evaluation of policy responses and the results can be employed to assess the efficacy of monetary measures, such as quantitative easing and interest rate adjustments, in achieving financial stability and economic recovery. Nevertheless, this paper points out that it is paramount for the monetary policy adjustment to different economic conditions, and stresses that financial supervision should have the power to avoid speculative activities and guarantee the stability of financial system. The outcomes contribute to deeper knowledge of monetary policy as a tool in managing the crises and provide valuable insights for the policymakers for strategy formulation in future challenges.

Manajemen Risiko, Pengelolaan Dana Dan Pentingnya Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan Dalam Koperasi Simpan Pinjam di Indonesia

This study emphasizes the functions of the Indonesian Deposit Insurance Corporation (Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan, LPS) in savings and loan cooperatives (KSP), such as managing funds and managing risks. KSPs play an important role in the micro economy, especially in providing financial access to people who are not served by banks and other formal financial institutions. This research employs a qualitative methodology and uses a literature review approach. A qualitative approach was chosen as it allows for a more in-depth understanding of the complex issues of risk management, fund management, and deposit insurance functions in savings and loan cooperatives in Indonesia. To ensure the viability and health of this sector that aims to make a significant contribution to financial inclusion and inclusive economic growth, the government, financial institutions, and cooperatives must work together. To advance the savings and loan cooperative sector in Indonesia, strategic measures should be taken, such as improving risk management and supporting IDICs. Ultimately, this will support the stability of the national financial system and the economic well-being of people in Indonesia.

Creation and Legal Status of a Specially Authorized Body of Non-Banking Financial Services

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of state regulation in the market of non-banking financial services. At the same time, attention was paid to the creation of a specially authorized state body in the form of the National Commission for Control of the Market of Non-Banking Financial Services. The purpose of the article is to reveal the legal status, the order of formation, and clarify the main principles of the National Commission's activity. Achieving the outlined goal became possible thanks to the use of a complex of methods of scientific knowledge, in particular, the dialectical method (for comprehensive knowledge of the nature of the National Commission for Control over the Market of Non-Banking Financial Services), the formal-legal method (for establishing the content of legal norms), the formal-logical method (for identification of shortcomings in national legal regulation), comparative legal method (for studying the experience of other countries and determining the prospects for implementing their principles of activity in the national legal field). It has been studied that the special status of the commission is that it ensures the stability of the entire non-banking financial system of Ukraine, establishing the requirements that such institutions must meet, namely requirements for: liquidity, solvency, capital, asset quality, risk level of operations, profitability. The work examines the relationship between the commission and the National Bank of Ukraine, their cooperation in the market, which consists in the development of regulatory and legal acts and their approval. The need for the National Bank of Ukraine to delegate its powers to the National Commission for Control of Non-Banking Financial Services in relation to: registration of market participants, licensing of non-bank financial institutions, determining the procedure for issuing and canceling a license, approving the terms of operation of such institutions. In view of this, a new model of state regulation on the market of non-banking financial services was proposed in the form of concentration of all control functions on the market in a single operationally independent regulator - the National Commission for Control of Non-Banking Financial Services, which is in close cooperation with the National Bank of Ukraine and by the National Securities and Stock Market Commission. Also, the article emphasizes that regulation by the National Commission for Control of the Market of Non-Banking Financial Services should be complemented by a system of self-regulating participants in the market, which are an additional tool to state regulation.

International aggregate risk: Effects on financial stability

The increasing interconnectedness of financial and economic systems has led to the emergence of global risks that can impact financial stability. In this paper, we explore how aggregate risk on a global scale can affect the stability of financial systems. We present a simple model that considers an exogenous parameter indicating the concentration of international credit risk in both domestic and foreign banking systems. When this parameter is high, the model is vulnerable to aggregate risk. Our research shows that if multiple countries are impacted by the same shock, diversification of risk becomes impossible.In the event of a global economic downturn, international lenders may become scarce, or the real interest rate may substantially increase, perhaps leading to an economic crisis.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF BPD DIY AND BANK BJB FOR THE 2017-2022

This research aims to determine the comparison of financial performance between BPD DIY and Bank BJB (formerly: BPD Jabar) in the 2019-2022 period. This study used quantitative methods. Quantitative methods are applied to analyze financial ratios where data are presented in numerical form. From the results of the ROA calculation, it is known that BPD DIY banks operate much more efficiently than BPD BJB bank’s because the ROA value obtained is greater so that the bank's ability to generate profits is better. From the LDR calculation, it is known that BJB BPD bank has sufficient liquidity but may have lower income, while DIY BPD does not have enough liquidity to cover customer obligation. From the results of the CAR calculation, it can be seen that both banks have good financial system stability against possible risk of loss, with a minimum guarantee limit of 8%. This research is expected to be a reference for consideration to analyze the comparison of BPD DIY and Bank BJB and other banks in the future.

Capital Adequacy Ratio — a Panacea for Indian Banks during COVID-19 Pandemic

A stable financial system acts as a catalyst for the economic growth and development of a country. The healthy banking sector is the core of a sustainable economy as banks act as intermediaries between depositors and lenders of money. In the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial sector witnessed significant transitions in terms of digital transformation. In India, the banking sector has remained resilient throughout the pandemic due to government and regulators’ policy efforts and the maintenance of capital adequacy requirements. Banks have maintained higher capital buffers, better liquidity requirements, and lower leverage, cushions against pandemic shock. In the present paper, the researcher provides a conceptual elucidation of Basel norms, analyzes the component-wise Capital to Risk-Weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) of Indian Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) and examines the CRAR position of SCBs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also evaluated the distribution of SCBs by CRAR and examined the capital ratios of public, private, and foreign sector banks from 2016 to 2022. The ANOVA analysis output revealed a significant difference in the CRAR of public, private, and foreign banks. The study concludes that adequate CAR levels help banks mitigate the risks that arise during pandemic crises and aid them in conducting their banking operations effortlessly. Further, it concludes that public sector banks (PSBs) still lag behind their counterparts in maintaining adequate CRAR, and hence, they need to reduce the accumulation of risk-weighted assets (RWA).

Assessing resilience to systemic risks across interbank credit networks using linkage-leverage analysis: Evidence from Japan

The banking crisis started in March 2023 was triggered by disproportion of deposit liability and assets. Applying balance sheets from 1999 to 2022, from the Japanese Bank Association, this study scrutinizes the durability of high-priority banking systems against damaging events in that industry. Eyeing the unique high-level savings in Japanese banking, this study investigates the impact of disproportion of deposit liability and assets on the financial stability of interbank credit networks through a linkage-leverage analysis. This study presents a novel framework that combines actor-network theory, network optimization, and bilateral risk exposure approaches into linkage-leverage analysis. The results in this study show that the bilateral risk exposure during a subset of years is smaller than other years, which indicates that Japanese banks minimize the risk exposure by shifting the network relationship. Finally, this study provides supporting evidence to the new paradigms on developing more stable financial systems.

Monetary Policy Challenges and Strategies in the Globalization: An Analysis of the Federal Reserve's Approach to the Trilemma

This study explores the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) approach to the financial trilemma in the era of globalization, emphasizing the trade-offs between monetary policy autonomy, exchange rate flexibility, and open capital markets. It delves into the challenges posed by increased global financial integration and the effectiveness of traditional and innovative monetary tools. The paper advocates for the adoption of a macroprudential policy framework to enhance financial system stability without compromising policy objectives. The findings highlight the Fed's strategic use of macroprudential measures alongside conventional tools to navigate the trilemma, illustrating the importance of flexibility and innovation in central banking practices amidst global financial complexities.

Energy-related uncertainty and international stock market volatility

This paper predicts the daily return volatility of 28 advanced and developing stock markets using monthly metrics of the corresponding country and global energy-related uncertainty indexes (EUIs) recently proposed in the literature. Using data in their “natural” frequencies to avoid aggregation bias, the results show that country-specific and global EUIs have predictive powers for stock returns volatility for the in-sample periods, with increased levels of EUIs exhibiting the tendency to heighten volatility. This predictability also withstands various out-of-sample forecast horizons, implying that EUI is a statistically relevant predictor in the out-of-sample analysis. The forecast precision of the GARCH-MIDAS model is improved by incorporating global EUIs relatively more than country-specific EUIs. The robustness of the findings with respect to the choice of EUI and sample definition is further confirmed. The outcomes have important policy implications for the concerned stakeholders who are concerned with stability in the global financial system and economy.

The impact of inflation on bank stability: evidence from the MENA banks

PurposeSerious concerns about the stability of the international financial systems have arisen recently, resulting from the mounting inflation rates and the accompanying procedures to control them. Consequently, this study aims at examining empirically the impact of inflationary pressures/shocks on the stability of banking sectors.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a dynamic GMM models and exploits a sample of 188 banks operating in 14 MENA economies, over the period 1999–2021.FindingsThis research finds that high inflation does indeed harm bank financial stability and deteriorates banks credit risk. Furthermore, the examination of the impact of interaction terms between inflation and bank-specific and institutional quality variables shows that better capitalisation levels, higher liquidity buffers, larger asset size, greater market power, foreign ownership and overall political stability, all can counterbalance the impact of inflationary pressures on MENA banks financial stability.Originality/valueIn addition to empirically revealing how inflationary shocks can deteriorate financial stability, the main novelty of this research is examining how the interactions between inflation on one hand, and bank-specific and institutional quality on the other, affect bank stability.

(COVID) CRISIS IN A FINANCIALIZED ECONOMY AND ALTERNATIVE REGULATION

Drawing upon the 2007-2008 global crisis and the current Covid pandemic, this article aims to show that since the 1980s, the organization of the economy in a liberal way transformed public financial regulation into market-relying self-regulation that led to persistent crises. The article maintains that the financialized accumulation regime generates endogenous inconsistencies and proves to be unable to ensure systemic stability and long-term viability of society. An alternative financial regulation resting on preventive collective action seems to be a relevant way to provide society with a sustainable and progressive financial system. The ill-management of the Covid crisis is related to the socio-economic framework that rules societies and economies around the world since the 1980s. The evolution of capitalism rests on speculation-led accumulation process that deepens inequalities and puts collective projects and goals on the back burner. This evolution, also known as financialization, is based first and foremost on the primacy of short-term profitability. Relying on individual (micro) rationality, it is unable to conduct market activities from a macroeconomic perspective to ensure the development of society. Although individual market strategies can be regarded as rational actions, the systemic financial stability cannot be achieved by market mechanisms. In a capitalist economy, financial stability is to the viability of society what public health is to the lives of citizens. Both require the oversight of a visible public hand. Drawing upon institutional economics this article then shows that systemic dysfunction of capitalist finance does reflect the dysfunctional organization of society in which collective action has been abandoned in favor of the doctrine of efficient, self-regulating markets. Recurrent crises, caused by the imbalances generated by laissez-faire economics, are the main threats to the sustainability of an open, innovative and progressive society. From this perspective, the regulation of financial systems is of paramount importance and calls for alternative models of collective action that should determine the conditions of exercise of private financial institutions according to the goals of a sustainable economy respectful of both people and the environment beyond the conservative individualistic doctrines.

Analysis of China's Real Estate Market Volatility and Financial Stability

Fluctuations in China's real estate market profoundly affect the economy, the financial system and social stability. Effective policy regulation, including the adjustment of monetary policy and the control of speculative behavior, is essential to mitigate market volatility and reduce financial risks. This paper uses the historical data analysis method and literature research method to conduct research and analysis based on the study of the meaning of financial stability. Firstly, it divides the historical fluctuation of China's real estate market into four stages and explores the characteristics and causes of real estate price changes in each stage. Thus, the historical fluctuation pattern of China's real estate market and the mechanism by which real estate market fluctuations affect financial stability are derived. The mechanism by which real estate affects financial stability through the personal wealth channel, the balance sheet channel, and the liquidity channel is explored. The findings of this paper can provide a basis for government decision-making and guide real estate practitioners and investors to grasp market fluctuations and avoid potential risks.

How do Financial Development and Stability Shape Human Development?

Abstract The crucial role of financial systems in sustainable development has become the center of global and national interest and development strategies, and more developed and stable financial systems are the cornerstone for development finance and achieving the sustainable development goals. This research aims to examine the impact of financial development and stability on human development firstly in a sample of 185 countries worldwide, and secondly in a sample of 21 MENA countries, over the period 1990–2019. This study adopts the Panel Data Econometrics (Fixed Effects and Random Effects Methods) and proxy for human development by exploiting the UNDP’s Human Development Index and its three subindices (Education, Income, and Life expectancy), while it adopts broad money, credit to the domestic private sector, and banking sector deposits (all as a percentage of GDP) to proxy for financial development. Moreover, it represents financial stability by the banking sector Z-score and a dummy variable representing crises. The empirical results reveal the prevailing role of development and stability in the financial systems on human development and its three subcomponents, regardless of the country’s economic development level.
