    Prudential regulation and financial information in Spanish banks: 1995-2015
    (2019) Gras Gil, Ester; Marín-Hernández, Salvador; Ortiz-Martínez, Esther; Economía Financiera y Contabilidad
    In this paper, we seek to ascertain whether the changes in prudential financial regulation in Spain in the period 1995–2015 have had an effect on financial stability and whether this can be assessed for Spain from the behaviour of the z-score and the LLP variables, as has been done elsewhere. We analyse the implementation of the statistical or dynamic provision in 2000 and also the adoption of the Basel II agreement in 2008. The sample analysed comprises 48 Spanish banks. As our main conclusions, we provide evidence that the changes that have taken place in prudential financial regulation in Spain cannot be adequately analysed and interpreted with the behaviour of the z-score and LLP variables for that period, since in this context they are not good indicators of greater or lesser financial stability due to interference from the Spanish banking regulator.
