Interest rate risk: repricing gap model

repricing gap model
Res$, Sironi (2008) Koch, MacDonald (2003) 1 2 1 24/10/14 IL CONCETTO DI GAP
3 4 2 24/10/14 5 Possibili strategie di gestione
•  Immunizzazione (matching) : GAP =0
•  Gap direzionale (mismatching):
–  Se si prevedono tassi in rialzo: GAP>0
–  Se si prevedono tassi in ribasso: GAP <0
•  Ipotesi forti:
–  Spread tra tassi attivi e passivi immutato quando cambiano tassi
di interesse
–  Immutabilità volumi e composizione di bilancio su iniziativa della
clientela (customer relationship)
–  Illimitato spazio di manovra nella gestione dei volumi e degli
strumenti (incompletezza, indivisibilità)
–  Modificabilità istantanea di volumi e mix (tempi di manovra)
–  Vincoli regolamentari
6 3 24/10/14 Optimal value for a bank’s GAP?
•  There is no general optimal value for a bank's GAP in
all environments.
•  GAP is a measure of interest rate risk.
•  The best GAP for a bank can be determined only by
evaluating a bank's overall risk and return profile and
objectives.
•  Generally, the farther a bank's GAP is from zero, the
greater is the bank's risk.
•  Many banks establish GAP policy targets to control
interest rate risk by specifying that GAP as a fraction
of earning assets should be plus or minus 15%, or the
ratio of RSAs to RSLs should fall between 0.9 and 1.1.
7 Speculating on the GAP.
ΔNII = (GAP) * (Δ iexp)
•  Many bank managers attempt to adjust the interest
rate risk exposure of a bank in anticipation of changes
in interest rates.
–  This activity is speculative because it assumes that
management can forecast rates better than forward
rates embedded in the yield curve.
•  Speculating on the GAP
–  Difficult to vary the GAP and win – requires accurate
interest rate forecast on a consistent basis.
–  Usually only look short term.
–  Only limited flexibility in adjusting the GAP, customers
and depositors.
–  No adjustment for timing of cash flows or dynamics of
the changing GAP position.

ART 10, legge 248/2006 38 19 24/10/14 39 Steps that banks can take to reduce
interest rate risk
•  Calculate periodic GAPs over short time
intervals.
•  Match fund repriceable assets with similar
repriceable liabilities so that periodic GAPs
approach zero.
•  Match fund long-term assets with noninterestbearing liabilities.
•  Use off-balance sheet transactions, such as
interest rate swaps and financial futures, to
hedge.

Factors affecting NII.
•  Changes in the level of i-rates.
•  ΔNII = (GAP) * (Δiexp.)
–  Note: this assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve
which rarely occurs
•  Changes in the slope of the yield curve or the
relationship between asset yields and liability
cost of funds
•  Changes in the volume of assets and liabilities
•  Change in the composition of assets and
liabilities

Factors affecting net interest income
•  1% increase in the level of all short-term rates
•  1% decrease in spread between assets yields and
interest cost
–  RSA increase to 8.5%
–  RSL increase to 5.5%
•  Proportionate doubling in size.
•  Increase in RSA’s and decrease in RSL’s
–  RSA = 540, fixed rate = 310
–  RSL = 560, fixed rate = 260.
