Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze research trends related to banking liquidity creation, the factors influencing this process, the impact of created liquidity, and the direction for further research. Bibliographic sources were obtained from the Scopus database spanning from 2013 to 2022, and the analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer tool. The analytical approach includes co-citations, co-words, and bibliographic coupling, focusing on authors, articles, journals, countries, institutions, and thematic subjects that play important roles. The results of the analysis indicate that research trends have been on the rise since 2019, reflecting the significance of this topic in academic literature. The most productive journal in publishing articles about liquidity creation is the 'Journal of Banking and Finance,' which highlights the academic community's focus on this topic. One significant finding is that the most dominant factors in the liquidity creation process are bank capitalization and bank capital regulations. Furthermore, the analysis results show that the greatest impact of liquidity creation occurs in financial market conditions, followed by systemic risk and economic growth. The implication is that this research underscores the importance of maintaining the health and stability of financial markets, as well as formulating policies that can manage systemic risks to support sustainable economic growth. The direction for future investigation could broaden its scope to include cross-border frameworks or consider the inclusion of alternative moderating variables such as corruption, money laundering, or tax amnesty, which could offer a different understanding within the analytical framework.
