绿色信贷如何影响银行财务绩效——基于地区绿色发展异质性的视角

基于2007~2017年中国34家商业银行非平衡面板数据，实证检验了商业银行开展绿色信贷对其财务绩效的影响，并利用《中国绿色发展指数报告》提供的分省绿色发展指数，考察了绿色发展对绿色信贷与银行财务绩效关系的调节效应。结果表明：商业银行发放绿色信贷投放有助于改善其财务绩效，并且这种改善效应主要来自绿色信贷对银行生息资产收益率的提升作用；绿色发展水平能够增强银行投放绿色信贷的经济效益，并且这种增强效应主要与地方经济增长绿化度和地方政府对绿色发展的支持度有关。商业银行应积极开展绿色信贷业务；政府部门应加强和完善绿色信贷激励政策，以推动绿色金融与绿色经济协同发展。

How Does Green Credit Affect Bank Financial Performance—Based on the Heterogeneity of Regional Green Development

Based on the unbalanced panel data of 34 Chinese commercial banks from 2007 to 2017, this paper empirically tests the influence of green credit on banks’ financial performance and examines the moderating effect of green development on the relationship between green credit and bank financial performance using the provincial green development index provided by "China Green Development Index Report". Results show that: green credit granted is helpful to improve banks’ financial performance, and the improvement effect is mainly achieved by improving banks’ return on interest bearing assets; green development can enhance the economic benefits of green credit granted by banks, and the enhancement effect is mainly related to the greening degree of local economic growth and the support degree of local governments for green development.Commercial banks should actively carry out green credit business; government departments should strengthen and improve green credit incentive policies to promote the coordinated development of green finance and green economy.
