RESUMO
Several recent papers analyze the impact of foreign bank entry on the Brazilian bank market. Some of these studies assess the impact of those entrances on domestic banks` performance, on the overall credit supply, and on other variables. Other studies emphasize the credit supply and the banks` social role as financiers of the private sector. Nevertheless, no comprehensive study has aimed at identifying the determinant factors of asset allocation strategies of banks with retail activities in Brazil, and whether these factors vary according to different bank ownership control - private domestic, government, and foreign. With the objective of shedding some light on this subject, this work analyzes the financial statements of 35 banks in the time period 2000 - 2003. The sampled banks were selected from the list of the Largest 50 Banks by Total Assets (-) Intermediations, organized by The Central Bank of Brazil, with the additional criteria of having more than 5 offices in any year of the considered time period. The present work emphasizes the banks` characteristics as determinant factors of asset allocation strategies. Statistical tests and panel data analysis were run allowing for three regressor groups: bank size, ownership control, and funding structure. The results suggest there are significant differences between private domestic, government, and foreign banks in financing their assets.
