Abstract

Since being restructured, Chinese rural commercial banks (RCBs) have had two goals: supporting the agricultural sector and sustainable development. This paper aims to analyze the effect of non-interest business development on the performance of RCBs. Our sample consists of 107 RCBs in eight provinces in eastern China. The results of the study demonstrated a U-shaped relationship between non-interest income and the performance of RCBs. The main reason is that at different stages of business development, non-interest business other than fees and commissions has achieved economies of scale. Further analysis found the existence of threshold effects on the performance of RCBs from the development non-interest business. When the cost ratio of non-interest business is higher than 0.2213, non-interest business development has a significant effect on the performance of RCBs.
