Study Notes
Asset Management
- Aims to create a diversified portfolio of fund uses that generate maximum returns for commercial banks.
Liquidity Management
- Ensures sufficient reserves are maintained to meet liabilities during deposit outflows.
- Aiming for reserves to be zero is incorrect; liquidity exists to cover obligations.
Liability Management
- Focuses on establishing a diversified portfolio of funding sources while minimizing costs.
Required Reserve Ratio
- Mandated by central banks, requiring banks to hold a portion of deposits in liquid form.
- Varies by bank based on regulatory requirements, not optional.
- Central banks may determine ratios based on banks' total loans.
Excess Reserves
- Calculated as excess reserve ratio multiplied by deposits (ER = rE * D).
- Determined by the central bank's required reserve ratio and bank management's strategies.
Capital Adequacy Management
- Aims to develop a diversified portfolio of funding sources at minimal costs, similar to liability management.
Liquidity Shortages
- Occur when actual reserves fall below required reserves; having excess reserves does not constitute a shortage.
- Selling securities can be the least favorable option for addressing liquidity deficits.
- Borrowing from the Central Bank incurs costs at the discount rate.
Bank Balance Sheet
- Composed of three main elements: Assets, Liabilities, and Capital.
- A deposit outflow affecting reserves will reflect on the bank's balance sheet, especially under specified reserve requirements.
Solutions for Liquidity Shortages
- Recalling loans ranks as the second-best option for mitigating liquidity deficiencies.
- Best approaches for a bank with insufficient reserves include managing liquidity to avoid needing to sell securities or borrowing excessively.
Required vs. Excess Reserve Ratio
- Required reserve ratio is set by regulatory authorities; excess reserve ratio is determined by bank management's discretion and strategy.
Implications of Selling Securities
- Indicates a liquidity crunch or a need for quick cash, generally seen as a last resort.
