Capital adequacy and systemic risk: Evidence from selected Indian private sector banks

This study investigates the relationship between systemic risk and capital adequacy in certain private-sector banks in India. Based on the CAMEL paradigm, this study examines five key financial ratios: CAR, DER, TATA, GSTR, and CDR. These ratios measure the extent to which funds have been advanced relative to total assets. Banks' risk profiles and financial health are assessed using these ratios in light of regulatory requirements and market stability. To examine the impact of these ratios on systemic risk indicators, we use the average data from 2018–19 to 2022–23.
