Introduction Background Methodology Findings Conclusion

Liquidity Risk

  • Risk that a financial agent will be unable to meet obligations at a

reasonable cost as they come due

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Introduction Background Methodology Findings Conclusion

Liquidity Risk

  • Risk that a financial agent will be unable to meet obligations at a

reasonable cost as they come due

  • Banks manage their liquidity risk by maintaining a buffer of

market-liquid assets anticipating their depositors’ liquidity demands

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Introduction Background Methodology Findings Conclusion

Liquidity Risk

  • Risk that a financial agent will be unable to meet obligations at a

reasonable cost as they come due

  • Banks manage their liquidity risk by maintaining a buffer of

market-liquid assets anticipating their depositors’ liquidity demands

  • The determination of a bank’s optimal liquidity buffer involves a

trade off between self-insurance against liquidity risk and the returns from illiquid, higher-yielding assets

slide-12

Introduction Background Methodology Findings Conclusion

Liquidity Risk

  • Risk that a financial agent will be unable to meet obligations at a

reasonable cost as they come due

  • Banks manage their liquidity risk by maintaining a buffer of

market-liquid assets anticipating their depositors’ liquidity demands

  • The determination of a bank’s optimal liquidity buffer involves a

trade off between self-insurance against liquidity risk and the returns from illiquid, higher-yielding assets

  • Any observed factor that would be expected to lower (raise)

liquidity risk should reduce (increase) observed liquidity buffers.
