    Leverage, capital adequacy, and financial stability in the fintech industry : evidence from Indonesia
    (Modern Finance Institute in cooperation with Poznan University of Economics and Business, 2024-07-14) Baita, Abubakar Jamilu; Diah Bardiah; Suhail; Basalma, Ebrahim Omar
    The paper examined the influence of leverage and capital adequacy on fintech's financial stability in Indonesia. We utilize both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings showed that leverage significantly constrained the financial stability of the fintech industry in the short run. Contrarily, capital adequacy has no significant effect on financial stability. Specifically, the qualitative results indicated that a high liability-to-asset ratio depressed the financial stability of the fintech industry. However, the influence of the asset-to-equity ratio on financial stability depends on asset quality, liquidity, and riskiness. Furthermore, the respondents noted the insufficiency of capital requirements in the fintech industry. Thus, fintech firms should focus on asset quality, while regulators should tighten capital regulation.
