Estimating the intraday liquidity risk of financial institutions: a Monte Carlo simulation approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent financial crisis has shown that liquidity risk is far more important and intricate than regulators had previously acknowledged. The shift from bankbased to market-based financial systems and from deferred net settlement systems to liquidity-demanding real-time gross settlement of payments explains some of the shortcomings of traditional liquidity risk management. Although liquidity regulations do exist, they are still in an early stage of development and discussion. Moreover, not all connotations of liquidity are being equally addressed. Unlike market and funding liquidity, intraday liquidity has been absent from financial regulation, and has appeared only recently, after the crisis. This paper addresses the measurement of large-value payment system intraday liquidity risk. Based on the generation of bivariate Poisson random numbers for simulating the minuteby-minute arrival of received and executed payments, each financial institution’s intraday payments’ time-varying volume and degree of synchrony (ie, timing) is modeled. Modeling the uncertainty of intraday payments allows us to oversee participants’ intraday behavior, to assess their ability to fulfill intraday payments at a certain confidence level, to identify participants that are nonresilient to changes in payment timing mismatches, and to estimate intraday liquidity buffers. These results are useful for financial authorities and institutions given the increased importance of liquidity risk as a source of systemic risk, and the recent regulatory amendments.

This study develops a stress-testing framework to assess liquidity risk of banks, where liquidity and default risks can stem from the crystallisation of market risk arising from a prolonged period of negative asset price shocks. In the framework, exogenous asset price shocks increase banks’ liquidity risk through three channels. First, severe mark-to-market losses on the banks’ assets increase ...

Merrill Lynch Bank USA has a multibillion dollar portfolio of revolving credit-line commitments with over 100 institutions. These credit lines give corporations access to a specified amount of cash for short-term funding needs. A key risk associated with credit lines is liquidity risk, or the risk that the bank will need to provide significant assets to the borrowers on short notice. We develop...
متن کاملEstimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملThe impact of systemic and illiquidity risk on financing with risky collateral
Repurchase agreements (repos) are one of the most important sources of funding liquidity for many financial investors and intermediaries. In a repo, some assets are given by a borrower as collateral in exchange of funding. The capital given to the borrower is the market value of the collateral, reduced by an amount termed as haircut (or margin). The haircut protects the capital lender from loss...
