We examine the resilience of Chinese banks during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating non-performing loan (NPL) ratios. We find that despite the reduction in the growth rate of total bank lending, bank NPL ratios significantly increase during the COVID-19 crisis. Banks with high-quality capital are more effective in controlling their NPL ratios during the Crisis. Big Five banks, state-owned banks and domestic banks have lower NPL ratios than their counterparts during the Crisis.
我们通过调查不良贷款(NPL)比率来考察新冠疫情期间中国银行的韧性。我们发现,尽管银行贷款总额增长率有所下降,但在新冠疫情危机期间,银行的不良贷款率显著上升。拥有优质资本的银行在危机期间更有效地控制其不良贷款率。五大银行、国有银行和本土银行在危机期间的不良贷款率低于同行。
