THE EFFECT OF DISCRETIONARY AND NON-DISCRETIONARY INCOME SMOOTHING AND CAPITAL BUFFER ON CREDIT GROWTH: MODERATED BY LIQUIDITY RISK
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the effect of discretionary and non-discretionary income smoothing and capital buffers on credit growth, moderated by liquidity risk. This study uses data regression analysis with a fixed-effects model. The study sample consisted of 170 respondents, consisting of 36 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2024. The results of this study show a significant positive effect of discretionary and non-discretionary income smoothing and capital buffers on credit growth. Liquidity risk has no effect on credit growth, and the interaction with discretionary income smoothing has been proven to strengthen this effect, indicating as quasi-moderation. However, when liquidity risk interacts with non-discretionary income smoothing and capital buffers, the interaction is proven not to strengthen the effect, indicating as predictor moderation. Originality this study offers important insights for regulators and practitioners regarding the impact of income smoothing and capital buffers in controlling credit growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
