In this paper, we analyse the process of income smoothing in Central European banks in the context of expansion strategies of banks. Using a sample of 216 banks in the period 2003–2014, we demonstrate that income smoothing is a strategy most pursued by low-growth financial institutions. This result is particularly visible when the relative expansion rate at local markets is taken into account. High-growth banks are likely to have less foreseeable income streams, loan volumes and loan quality. As income smoothing is a long-term process, the lack of predictability could make forward-making reserve policies more challenging.

W pracy analizowany jest proces wygładzania dochodów w bankach Europy Centralnej w kontekście strategii ekspansji banków. Wykorzystując dane 216 banków z okresu 2003–2014, wykazano, że wygładzanie dochodów jest strategią wykorzystywaną przede wszystkim przez instytucje finansowe o niskim tempie wzrostu. Wyniki te są szczególnie widoczne, gdy brane jest pod uwagę relatywne tempo wzrostu kredytów banku na rynku krajowym. Banki o wysokim tempie wzrostu, z których część zaangażowana jest w procesy fuzji i przejęć, prawdopodobnie posiadają mniej przewidywalne strumienie dochodów, wolumeny kredytów i jakość kredytów. Ze względu na długoterminowy charakter wygładzania dochodów, brak przewidywalności może utrudniać politykę tworzenia rezerw uwzględniającą przyszłe wydarzenia.
