This paper examines banks’ monitoring role in the replacement of underperforming CEOs in Chinese listed firms. We find that the presence of outstanding loans, on average, does not increase the probability of forcing out a poorly performing CEO. However, the sensitivity would be stronger if the underperforming firm relies more on secured and short-term bank lending. In addition, bank loans increase the likelihood of a forced CEO turnover in private firms, especially when joint-equity banks serve as the main lender. Such effect doesn’t exist when either the borrower or the lender is state owned. Our results indicate that government intervention reduces a bank’s incentive to monitor borrowers.
