The Bank Balance Sheet
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 5
Basic Banking I
• Opening of a checking account leads to an increase in the bank’s reserves equal to the increase in chequable deposits

When a bank receives additional deposits, it gains an equal amount of reserves: when it loses deposits, it loses an equal amount of reserves

Basic Banking—Making a Profit
• Asset transformation-selling liabilities with one set of characteristics and using the proceeds to buy assets with a different set of characteristics
• The bank borrows short and lends long

Liquidity Management and the Role of Reserves
• If a bank has ample excess reserves, a deposit outflow does not necessitate changes in other parts of its balance sheet
Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
Reserves $20M Deposits $100M Reserves $10M Deposits $90M
Loans $80M Bank Capital
$10M Loans $80M Bank Capital $10M
Securities $10M Securities $10M
with deposit outflow of $10 million

Liquidity Management: Shortfall in Reserves
• Reserves are now short of the desired amount and the shortfall must be eliminated
• Excess reserves are insurance against the costs associated with deposit outflows
Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
Reserves $10M Deposits $100M Reserves $0 Deposits $90M
Loans $90M Bank Capital
$10M Loans $90M Bank Capital $10M
Securities $10M Securities $10M

Liquidity Management: Borrowing
• Cost incurred is the interest rate paid on the borrowed funds
Assets Liabilities
Reserves $9M Deposits $90M
Loans $90M Borrowing $9M
Securities $10M Bank Capital $10M
Borrowing $9 million from other banks
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 12
Liquidity Management: Securities Sale
• The cost of selling securities is the brokerage and other transaction costs.
Assets Liabilities
Reserves $9M Deposits $90M
Loans $90M Bank Capital $10M
Securities $1M
Can meet shortfall by reducing securities by $9 million

Liquidity Management: Bank of Canada Advances
• Borrowing from the Bank of Canada also incurs interest payments based on the Bank Rate
Assets Liabilities
Reserves $9M Deposits $90M
Loans $90M Advance Bank of Canada

Securities $10M Bank Capital $10M

Liquidity Management: Reduce Loans
• Reduction of loans is the most costly way of acquiring reserves
• Calling in loans antagonizes customers• Other banks may only agree to purchase loans at a
substantial discount
Assets Liabilities
Reserves $9M Deposits $90M
Loans $81M Bank Capital $10M
Securities $10M

Asset Management: Three Goals
• Seek the highest possible returns on loans and securities
• Reduce risk
• Manage liquidity of assets so bank can pay depositors where there are deposit outflows
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 16
Asset Management: Four Tools
• Find borrowers who will pay high interest rates and have low possibility of defaulting
• Purchase securities with high returns and low risk
• Lower risk by diversifying• Balance need for liquidity against increased
returns from less liquid assets
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 17
Liability Management
• Recent phenomenon due to rise of money center banks
• Expansion of overnight loan markets and new financial instruments (such as negotiable CDs)
• Checkable deposits have decreased in importance as source of bank funds
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 18
Capital Adequacy Management
• Bank capital helps prevent bank failure
• The amount of capital affects return for the owners (equity holders) of the bank
• Regulatory requirement

Capital Adequacy Management: Safety
• Benefits the owners of a bank by making their investment safe
• Costly to owners of a bank because the higher the bank capital, the lower the return on equity
• Choice depends on the state of the economy and levels of confidence
• Bank capital requirement

Strategies for Managing Bank Capital
Lowering Bank Capital:• Buying back some of Bank’s stock• Pay out higher dividend to shareholders
Raising Bank Capital:• Issue more common stock• Reducing dividend to shareholders• Issue fewer loans or sell securities and use
proceeds to reduce liabilities

Principles for Managing Credit Risk
• Screening and Monitoring– Screening– Specialization in Lending– Monitoring and Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants
• Long-term Customer relationships• Loan Commitments• Collateral and Compensating Balances• Credit Rationing
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 24
Interest Rate Risk
• If a financial institution has more interest rate sensitive liabilities than interest rate sensitive assets, a rise in interest rates will reduce the net interest margin and income
• If a financial institution has more interest rate sensitive assets than interest rate sensitive liabilities, a rise in interest rates will raise the net interest margin and income
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 25
Gap Analysis
• The Gap is the difference between interest rate sensitive liabilities and interest rate sensitive assets
GAP = rate-sensitive assets – rate-sensitive liabilities
GAP = RSA – RSL• A change in the interest rate (Δi) will change bank
income () I depending on the Gap Income = GAP i
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 26
• Owners and managers care not only about the change in interest rates on income but also on net worth of the institution
• Duration Analysis examines the sensitivity of the market value of the financial institution’s net worth to changes in interest rates
Duration Analysis I
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 27
%ΔP = - DUR x [Δi/(1+i)]
Where: P is the market value
%ΔP = (Pt+1 – Pt)/P
DUR = duration
i = interest rate
Duration Analysis II
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 28
The Duration Gap can be calculated as:
DURgap = Dura – (L/A x DURL)
Where: Dura = average duration of assets
L = market value of liabilities
A = market value of assets
Durl = average duration of liabilities
Duration Analysis III
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 29
The impact of the interest rate change on net worth (NW) as a percentage of assets can be calculated via:
Δ NW/A = -Durgap x Δi/(1+i)
Where: DURgap = duration gap
Δi = interest rate change
i = interest rate
Duration Analysis IV
Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc. 13 - 30
Thus
Δ NW/A = -Durgap x Δi/(1+i)
Δ NW/A = -1.72 x 0.01/(1+0.10) = -0.016 = -1.6%
With assets = $100m, the fall in NW when the interest rises from 10% to 11% equals -1.6% of $100m = -$1.6M
