Abstract
With the rapid development of economy, there is a contradiction between environment and economic development, so the green credit mechanism should be born. At the same time, in the increasingly competitive environment, the profitability of commercial banks has become the focus of the Chinese government and the banking industry. Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of green credit on the profitability of commercial banks in China, so as to have a positive impact on the profitability of commercial banks, and thus promote the development of China’s green economy. Taking the data of 20 commercial banks from 2009 to 2018 as samples, the random effects model was used for regression analysis. The empirical results show that green credit has a negative impact on the profitability of commercial banks.
