T he cyclical banks have different behavior than other banks. The structure of the balance sheet in cyclical banks is different from anti-cyclical banks.

The bank should be adjusting its balance sheets based on economic conditions and business. Banks that influence cyclical leverage behavior have a higher share of credits in balance sheets. A higher share of credits explains tending banks for short-term credits.
