The Relationship

This study presents an empirical examination of the relationship between large banks’ investment in available-for-sale securities (AFS) and the interest rate risk of their securities. It concentrates on the years, 1997-2000, when interest rates were relatively stable and regulatory capital was not affected by the unrealized holding gains and losses on AFS securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. The two main findings of the study, having controlled for the interest risk position of the bank (exclusive of securities effect) and other risk management and economic considerations, are: (1) AFS securities’ ratio (to securities or to total assets) is positively related to the interest rate risk of securities; (2)a change in the AFS securities ratio is positively related to the change in the interest rate risk of securities.  These findings may well prove to be significant to supervisors of banks considering they are in charge of monitoring the effect of fair value accounting regulations on the financial risk management in banks.

With the pace of interest rate marketization reform accelerates, interest rate risk faced by commercial banks increasingly prominent, so a higher demand for its interest rate risk management capabilities is required. This article describes the type of interest rate risk, then use F-W Duration Convexity model to make an empirical analysis in five large commercial banks. The results show: the five large bank duration and convexity gap are all positive, when interest rates rise, the five bank NV will be reduced, interest rates decline, then increased. According to ΔNV/PA, ICBC CCB and ABC faced the biggest interest rate risk, BOC followed, BCM minimum.

This paper examines the behavior of the interest rate risk management measures for bonds with embedded options and studies factors it depends on. The contingent option exercise implies that both the pricing and the risk management of bonds requires modelling future interest rates. We use the Ho and Lee (HL) and Black, Derman, and Toy (BDT) consistent interest rate models. In addition, specific interest rate measures that consider the contingent cash-flow structure of these coupon-bearing bonds must be computed. In our empirical analysis, we obtained evidence that effective duration and effective convexity depend primarily on the level of the forward interest rate and volatility. In addition, the higher the interest rate change and the lower the volatility, the greater the differences in pricing of these bonds when using the HL or BDT models.

AbstractMortality-linked securities such as longevity bonds or longevity swaps usually depend on not only mortality risk but also interest rate risk. However, in the existing pricing methodologies, it is often the case that only the mortality risk is modeled to change in a stochastic manner and the interest rate is kept fixed at a pre-specified level. In order to develop large and liquid longevity markets, it is essential to incorporate the interest rate risk into pricing mortality-linked securities. In this paper we tackle the issue by considering the pricing of longevity derivatives under stochastic interest rates following the CIR model. As for the mortality modeling, we use a two-factor extension of the Lee-Carter model by noting the recent studies which point out the inconsistencies of the original Lee-Carter model with observed mortality rates due to its single factor structure. To address the issue of parameter uncertainty, we propose using a Bayesian methodology both to estimate the models and to price longevity derivatives in line with (Kogure, A., and Y. Kurachi. 2010. “A Bayesian Approach to Pricing Longevity Risk Based on Risk Neutral Predictive Distributions.”

Abstract This paper analyzes the Confederation’s debt management. The Confederation actively manages roll over and interest rate risk by increasing bond maturity with increasing marketable debt-to-GDP levels. It further engages in active but asymmetric, one-sided interest rate positioning; i.e., it uses mostly bonds to affect debt maturity and does so only when the interest rate environment is favorable to lock-in interest rates by issuing longer-term bonds. Debt management is mainly driven by marketable debt rather than total debt. Issuing behavior became more regular and demand-oriented during the early 1990s when marketable and total debt increased in tandem.

The Interest Rate

One of the most challenging issues in management is the valuation of strategic investments. In particular, when undertaking projects such as an expansion or the launch of a new brand, or an investment in R&D and intellectual capital, which are characterized by a long-term horizon, a firm has also to face the risk due to the interest rate. In this work, we propose to value investments subject to interest rate risk using a real options approach (Schulmerich, 2010). This task requires the typical technicalities of option pricing, which often rely on complex and time-consuming techniques to value investment projects. For instance, Schulmerich (2010) is, to the best of our knowledge, the first work where the interest rate risk is considered for real option analysis. Nevertheless, the valuation of investment projects is done by employing binomial trees, which are computationally very expensive. In the current paper, a different modeling framework (in continuous-time) for real option pricing is proposed which allows one to account for interest rate risk and, at the same time, to reduce computational complexity. In particular, the net present value of the cash inflows is specified by a geometric Brownian motion and the interest rate is modeled by using a process of Vasicek type, which is calibrated to real market data. Such an approach yields an explicit formula for valuing various kinds of investment strategies, such as the option to defer and the option to expand. Therefore, the one proposed is the first model in the field of real options that accounts for the interest rate risk and, at the same time, offers an easy to implement formula which makes the model itself very suitable for practitioners. An empirical analysis is presented which illustrates the proposed approach from the practical point-of-view and highlights the impact of stochastic interest rates in investment valuation.

It is a fact that firms do not call callable bonds when bond prices reach for the first time the call price. This paper provides an original explanation for this behavior by resorting to duration analysis. It is known that, ceteris paribus, a bond with a higher coupon, or a higher yield, has a lower duration that a bond with a lower coupon, or a lower yield. This implies that the bond that is to be called has a lower duration than the bond that replaces it. A lower duration signifies a lower interest rate risk. The firm with a callable bond will wait for market interest rates to fall further in order to equalize durations and bear the same risk. The underlying assumption is that by equalizing durations the firm keeps facing the same financial risk. In this case, it is the same amount of interest rate risk. Consequently, there are no changes in the capital structure, no redistribution effects on other debt claims, and financial leverage is unaffected. The paper provides illustrations on this active law by considering four callable bonds, with different remaining maturities, and each one with a set of two different call prices.

Abstract The banking system in Romania is a banking system under development, subject to fluctuations that exist on the market more than on more developed banking systems, fluctuations that can generate losses for banks if they are not properly managed. The losses that may be generated by these fluctuations, known as market risk, refer to the significant fluctuations in three indicators, namely the interest rate, the exchange rate and the asset price. In this article, I will analyse the interest rate risk from a conceptual point of view and the indicators that mitigate this risk. The analysis also contains a study of this risk among commercial banks in the system to highlight the level of risk and possible effects of its manifestation. I calculated and analysed the interest rate risk indicators, individually for the first three banks in the system, but also to comparatively, in order to highlight the existing differences.

Interest Rate Risk Management

In the economy of our country, under the influence of the wave of economic crisis, a situation has developed that has significantly affected the activities of commercial banks that are participants in the financial market. In recent years, there has been a consistently high amplitude of global changes in financial markets, due to the crisis and instability of the political situation in the country. All this affects the functioning of commercial banks, especially in the regulation of interest rates. The banking sector is constantly faced with all sorts of risks. Interest rate risk is rightly recognized as the most important bank risk. According to the Central Bank of theRussian Federation, interest rate risk is the risk of financial losses (losses) that arise as a result of an unfavorable change in interest rates on assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. Interest rate risk management in commercial banks has become complicated due to the current economic and political situation in our country, as well as the instability of market conditions. The development of practical recommendations aimed at improving the interest rate risk management system in a commercial bank is an urgent task for any commercial bank.
