Abstract
With the development of science and technology, the fourth industrial revolution started. Science and technology have gradually increased their weight in the development of enterprises, but it is not certain about the effect of integrating fintech into financial institutions. This paper uses Stata16.0 to construct a fixed-effect model for regression analysis to study the impact of fintech on the profitability of financial institutions. The explanatory variable used is fintech, while the explained variable is ROA, the control variables are capital adequacy ratio (CAR), cost-income ratio (COST), the bank’s total assets (ASSET), non-performing loan ratio (NPL), loan-to-deposit ratio (LTD), annual gross domestic product growth rate (GDPGR), and aggregate financing to the real economy (SSF). The financial data of 15 listed commercial banks from 2012 to 2020 used in this paper are from the wind database, and the annual GDP growth and social financing scale data are from the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The fintech index of China is represented by the calculated mean of the "total digital financial inclusion index" of 31 administrative divisions in the Study of Fintech Competitiveness Index of Chinese Cities. The empirical results show that the development of fintech has a negative impact on the profitability of commercial banks.
