ABSTRACT
China's banking system is mainly constituted by the policy banks, state-owned
commercial banks, national joint-stock commercial banks, city commercial banks, rural
commercial banks, urban credit cooperatives, rural credit cooperatives, postal savings
and etc. City commercial banks are becoming one of the major financial forces behind
state-owned commercial banks and the national joint-stock commercial banks.
So far, China's city commercial banks have achieved certain success. However,
there are many problems including congenitally deficient and increasing competition in
the market area. On the other hand, as China's rapid economic growth, particularly the
rapid growth of private economy, it is a golden time for the city commercial banks
which serve Small Corporation. Yangtze River Delta region's booming economy as well
as the most typical areas in china plays a more important role to the city commercial
banks. Under this environment, if the city commercial banks in the Yangtze River Delta
want to survive or develop, they certainly need to improve its efficiency continuously.
The main study of this paper is the city commercial banks in different cities in
Yangtze River Delta region. The content of the study is the micro-efficiency of city
commercial banks. Micro-efficiency refers to the individual how to use the given input
to produce the maximum output. The methods of the study include single-factor index
analysis method and frontier analysis method.
In the theory part, I firstly introduce the basic concept and research method of
efficiency; then I analysis the whole situation of city commercial banks in china and in
Yangtze River Delta region; at last, I use single-factor index analysis method to
compare the city commercial banks in different areas in china through the index of
Non-performing loan ratio、Capital adequacy ratio and profit rate of asset.
In the demonstration part, I select the 2005-2008 annual financial data of the eight
different city commercial banks in Yangtze River Delta region. Firstly, I use SFA
method to calculate the data of efficiency and then arrange the data of efficiency:
Taizhou commercial bank gain the highest data of efficiency and Jiaxing commercial
bank gain the lowest data of efficiency; then I choose five index to establish the
multiple linear regression model; at last, I suggest that we can improve the efficiency of
the commercial banks in Yangtze River Delta region through the index of direct
government ownership、foreign strategic investment position、capital adequacy ratio,
non-performing loan rate and the deposit-loan ratio.
