As the financial system continues to evolve and undergo changes, the explicit deposit insurance system has garnered widespread attention as a crucial tool for managing financial risks. In 2015, China introduced the explicit deposit insurance system, which holds significant implications for the robust development of the Chinese financial system and the regulation of financial markets. It aids in upholding financial stability, safeguarding investors' interests, and fostering the sound growth of financial markets. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on the national level or large-scale banks, leaving limited research on how the explicit deposit insurance system affects local banks.
This study aims to investigate the impact of the explicit deposit insurance system on the risk-taking behavior of local banks in regions with varying economic levels. By conducting an economic comparison analysis using Guangdong Province and Shanxi Province as case studies and employing quantitative analysis and comparative research methods, the study delves into the risk-taking patterns of local banks in these two provinces under the explicit deposit insurance system. The findings reveal that the explicit deposit insurance system reduces the risk-taking behavior of local banks, contributing to the stability of the financial system. However, the extent of this impact varies across regions with different economic levels. Specifically, the explicit deposit insurance system has a more pronounced effect in reducing the risk-taking behavior of local banks in Shanxi Province compared to those in Guangdong Province, thereby enhancing the stability of the banking system in Shanxi Province. These results offer valuable insights for refining bank regulatory policies and enhancing risk management practices.
