We use data from bank annual report and examine the effect of capital requirements on the bank capital growth,forms of financing options and scale.This paper indicates the regulatory capital pressure faced by banks is the direct motivation of external financing.The greater the regulatory pressure is,the faster the capital increases.In addition,banks use more equity,and only when the banks face less pressure,they use more debt.Our results also show that the capital buffer which is used to avoid regulatory punishment significantly affects the equity financing scale.
