Measuring Systemic Funding Liquidity Risk in the Interbank Foreign Currency Lending Market
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a new framework which captures the systemic nature of funding liquidity risk. Using this framework we develop a set of indicators which measure different aspects of the systemic funding liquidity risk in the interbank foreign currency lending market: (i) systemic funding liquidity needs, (ii) systemic vulnerability, (iii) systemic importance and (iv) systemic liquidity shortages. We also analyze the systemic funding liquidity risk of the Korean banking system under the new framework. The Korean banking system has become more vulnerable to the systemic funding liquidity risk of foreign currency debt since 2006. The systemic importance of foreign bank branches and the systemic vulnerability of domestic banks have simultaneously increased as the domestic banks have relied heavily on FX swap transactions with foreign bank branches to raise foreign currency funds. † Finance Studies Team, Institute for Monetary and Economic Research, the Bank of Korea, 110, 3-Ga, Namdaemun-Ro, Jugn-Gu, Seoul, 100-794, Republic of Korea.

Entangling Credit and Funding Shocks in Interbank Markets
Credit and liquidity shocks represent main channels of financial contagion for interbank lending markets. On one hand, banks face potential losses whenever their counterparties are under distress and thus unable to fulfill their obligations. On the other hand, solvency constraints may force banks to recover lost fundings by selling their illiquid assets, resulting in effective losses in the pre...
متن کاملMeasure of systemic risk in the interbank market in Iran by buffer capital and hyperlink-induced topic search algorithm
Considering that the interbank market is considered as a night market to provide short-term liquidity to banks, one of the most important risks in this market - due to the short-term nature of transactions in this market - is systemic risk. Exercising this risk cycle will have devastating effects on monetary policymakers, such as the 2007-2009 crisis. In this study, first, the buffer capital ...
متن کاملMarket-specific and currency-specific risk during the global financial crisis: Evidence from the interbank markets in Tokyo and London
This paper investigates how international money markets reflected credit and liquidity risk during the global financial crisis. After matching the currency denomination, we examine how the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR) was synchronized with the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). We find remarkably asymmetric responses in market-specific and currency-specific risk during the crisis. T...
متن کاملEpidemics of Liquidity Shortages in Interbank Markets
Financial contagion from liquidity shocks has being recently ascribed as a prominent driver of systemic risk in interbank lending markets. Building on standard compartment models used in epidemics, here we develop an EDB (Exposed-Distressed-Bankrupted) model for the dynamics of liquidity shocks reverberation between banks, and validate it on electronic market for interbank deposits data. We sho...
متن کاملComplexity, concentration and contagion
This paper develops a network model of interbank lending in which unsecured claims, repo activity and shocks to the haircuts applied to collateral assume centre stage. We show how systemic liquidity crises of the kind associated with the interbank market collapse of 2007–2008 can arise within such a framework, with funding contagion spreading widely through the web of interlinkages. Our model i...
