Abstract

This paper explores the impact of digital finance development on bank liquidity creation. Using 118 banks in China from 2011 to 2020, we find that digital finance development has a negative impact on bank liquidity creation. The inhibitory effect mainly exists in on-balance sheet and asset-side liquidity creation and has less impact on off-balance sheet liquidity creation. This negative impact is more pronounced in large banks, national banks, and banks in the western region in China. The bank risk-taking level mediates the relationship between digital finance development and bank liquidity creation.
