Description:
The 12th edition of the European Banking Authority’s Policy Research Workshop (https://www.eba.europa.eu/about-us/eba-research-workshops) will seek to explore policies that can ensure appropriate management of interest rate and liquidity risks while preserving financial stability.
In the current context, and from the perspective of financial regulation, the recent re-appearance of interest rate and liquidity risk raise several important research questions.
A critical analysis of the rules for Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB), Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is useful when assessing sound risk management standards and robust supervisory practices. What are the costs and benefits of allocating assets to hold to maturity vs available for sale portfolios? How have banks reinforced their capacity to guarantee sufficient high-quality liquid assets to withstand a 30-day liquidity shock? Has the introduction of the regulatory quantitative metrics on liquidity risk produced any disruption on the regular financing of economic activity? How has the functioning of the money markets been influenced by the implementation of global liquidity standards and international regulatory minimum ratios? Has the NSFR ratio changed banks’ role in maturity transformation? Are financial institutions carefully managing collateral positions, in particular those institutions active in SFT and derivatives markets? Do regular stress tests help to ensure sound interest rate risk management and robust contingency funding plans?
TOPICS:
