“…One study that supports this theory is the research conducted by Yeyati and Micco (2007), who state that in the banking sector of 8 Latin countries there was evidence of a positive relationship between competition and financial stability. In addition, the study by Arogaki et al (2011) also found evidence in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that supports the idea that competition in the banking industry can improve stability. The research conducted by Boyd et al (2006) also came to the same conclusion, using samples from the United States and 134 other countries.…”

“…Several authors (Rime, 2001;Lin et al, 2005;Altunbas et al, 2007;Leaven and Levine, 2009) revealed that regulatory capital (CAR) is positively associated with bank risk. In contrast, others found an inverse relationship between regulatory capital and bank risk (Ho and Hsu, 2010;Agoraki et al, 2011;Lee and Chih, 2013). These studies support the -Moral hazard hypothesis (MHH),‖ which holds that banks with strong regulatory capital can absorb higher risk.…”

Article History JEL ClassificationC12; C23; G21; G32.The only way to ensure a well-informed response to bank risks is by ensuring transparent disclosures that flourish with potential synergy. This study investigates the impact of bank disclosures on credit risk where panel data are used. PCSE and FGLS regression models are applied to a sample of 32 commercial banks in Bangladesh from 2010 to 2014. The results reveal that bank disclosures index, non-sponsor ownership and advances to total assets are inversely associated with bank risk, whereas government ownership, capital adequacy ratio and tier 1 capital have a positive effect. The study's findings have a twofold implication for the national economy. First, the higher number of disclosures portrays a transparent image in users' minds that decreases stock volatility and the cost of capital. Second, policy makers should rethink government ownership with respect to the absorption of serious risk. Therefore, it is highly recommended either to denationalize or to reduce government ownership. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the relationship between bank disclosures and credit risk in the developing country context. It found that bank credit policies are tremendously affected by the government ownership. Thus, this paper will contribute to the research related to credit risk management.

“…Indeed, these authors showed that most regulators encourage banks to increase their capital compared to the risk level. However, the relationship between equity to total assets ratio and bank risk was found to be negative (Jahankhani and Lynge, 1980;Brewer and Lee, 1986;Karels et al, 1989;Jacques and Nigro, 1997;Bolt and Tieman, 2004;Agusman et al, 2008;Agoraki et al, 2011;Lee and Hsieh, 2013). Bolt and Tieman (2004) argued that capital requirement is a strict criterion for supplying loans.…”

“…Therefore, an institution with high level of capital find in its interest to take less risk. According to Agoraki et al (2011), banks holding more capital are less exposed to risk, but high market power may increase bank risk. Demirgüç-Kunt and Kane (2002) showed that a negative relationship between capital and risk is referred to the moral hazard hypothesis, which stipulates that undercapitalised banks take on excessive risk to exploit existing flat deposit insurance schemes.…”

This paper analyses the relationship between bank capital, risk and profitability for the BRICS banking industry data from 2004 to 2012. We use a dynamic panel data model based on two-step GMM estimation procedure. For the sake of analysis, we differentiate between before and after crisis periods in order to highlight the impact of financial crisis on clearing up the above relationship. The main empirical results are summarised as follows: 1) capital and risk are significantly and negatively related, while capital and profitability are significantly and positively linked; 2) bank capital has the greatest positive impact on ROE measure of profitability for investment banks; 3) BRICS investment banks are likely associated with a more sound financial supervision and technology; 4) regulatory quality and institutional developments are dependent upon differences in profitability and risk; 5) Results also provide evidence that financial crisis affects considerably the relationship between capital, risk and profitability. 90W.
