01 Liquidity risk: let’s suppose a bank has the following structure…
Excess of liquidity
Need for financing

01 Liquidity Gap
For every maturity
GAP (T) = Liability (T) – Asset (T)
- If GAP >0 à more resources than a need for financing
- If GAP <0 à the real concern
Liquidity risk: Liquidity GAP as a measure of the risk

01 Illustrative example to clarify the ideas
- Asset side:
- Loan infine: 2 years maturity; nominal 100 Euro with fixed rate 5%
- Liability side:
- Borrowing over 1 year; nominal 80 Euro for 3%
- Capital 20 Euro
What is the Liquidity Gap?
What is the Interest rate Gap?

Let’s take the same example BUT with variable rates
- Asset side:
- Loan infine: 2 years maturity; nominal 100 Euro with fixed rate 5% for the first year and
variable for the 2nd year
- Liability side:
- Borrowing over 1 year; nominal 80 Euro for 3%
- Capital 20 Euro

01 In summary: Only transactions with fixed interest rate risk are the origin of the risk We can say that the Interest rate GAOP is equal to: Difference between transactions with fixed interest rate: } by maturity } Asset vs Liability } Another way to say it as well: Interest rate Gap = Liquidity Gap for fixed rate transactions à Indeed : Variable rate ⎝ there is no extrac-cost for financing

The ALM (balance-sheet) risk Example of Interest rate risk 02
Let’s consider the following balance-sheet as of 1st January 2006 : Asset side : • Loan to retail customers:
• nominal : 1000
• duration : infine reimbursement with a maturity of 1 year
• rate : MMRate (ex. Libor) + 2 %
Liability side : • Capital (shareholders fund):
• amount : 200
• Reimbursement : indeterminate by the shareholders
• borrowing from the money market :
• amount : 800
• Reimbursement : infine over 6 months
• rate : MMR + 1%
let’s supose the MMR is 5 %
16!
02 As of 1st Jan 2006 the balance-sheet has the following shape:
ASSET LIABILITY
Loans 1000 Capital 200
Borrowing from FIs 800
Total LIABILITY 1000 Total ASSETS 1000
In summary : The Balance-sheet is equilibrated as of today (1st Jan 2006) The Bank has 200 of capital & 800 of borrowing placed in retail customers loans (commercial portfolio)

ALM risk: computation of the interest rate margin (IRM) 02
The interest rate margin is equal to interest received and interest paid
ASSET - Loans to customers LIABILITY - Capital - Money Market
1 Trim. 2 Trim. 3 Trim. 4 Trim. Year N +1
¼ x 7% x 1000 17.5 17.5 17.5 - = 17.5
0 0 0 0 - ¼ x 6% x 800 -12 0 0 -
= -12
Marging before financing
5.5 5.5 17.5 17.5 -
Important : The margin before financing is giving the wrong picture…we need to
equlibrate the balance-sheet starting from the 3rd trimester

ASSET - Loans to customers LIABILITY - Capital - Money Market - Refinancing

02 We can eliminate the risk of volatility of the Margin using derivative products We can eliminate these risks by putting in place :
ð Swap contract with a notional amount of 200 ð Forward Rate agreement (FRA) : - Nominal 800; maturity 3rd trimester This FRA will generate unique cash flows on the 3rd trimester : ¼ x 800 x (r – 5.5%)
- Nominal 800; maturity 4th trimester This FRA will generate unique cash flows on the 3rd trimester ¼ x 800 x (r – 6%) Let’s suppose that forward rate are equal to 5.5% and 6% respectively for 3rd
trimester and 4th maturity based on the yield curve
ALM risk: there are possbilities for hedging with derivative products

Contingent claims
Banking is about intermediation of short-term risks
01 The balance-sheet ou ALM risks existent even in the islamic bank
1. Depositors: May withdraw;
2. Banks: Tend to accumulate assets to maximize return on equity;
3. Counter-parties: May default;
4. Regulators: Seek banking soundness;
5. Other companies and households within the interlinked balance sheets, have contingent claims on each other and
6. Public/tax payers: Faces the cost of deposit protection and financial crisis.

02 Islamic modes of finance:
Unique risk factors • Liquidity originated market risk • Transformation of credit risk to market risk and
market risk to credit risk at various stages of a contract
• Bundling of credit risk and market risk • Market risk arising from owning the underlying non-
financial asset until maturity of a contract or until the ownership is transferred to customer
• Treatment of default

02 Unique balance sheet features of IBs from market risk perspective …(1/2)
• In traditional banks, market risk is mostly in the trading book
• In Islamic banks, market risk is concentrated in the banking book due to Murabahah, Ijara, Salam, Musharakah and Mudharabah in the banking book asset portfolio
• Hence it is unique for Islamic banks that market risk and credit risk are strongly bundled together

• Treatment of default: In Islam, compensation-based restructuring of credit is the most well known form of Riba, namely, Riba Al Jahiliyah – this highly necessitates credit risk management
• Moral issues in loan loss reserves • Collateral quality (restrictions on use of sovereign
bonds) • Insurance – clients’ insurance and facilities
insurance • Diverse modes and bundled risks

• Mudharabah / Musharakah – Default event undefined – Collateral not allowed
• Salam / Istisna’ – Counterparty performance risk – Separation of market risk from default risk difficult – Catastrophic risk high
• Murabahah – Baseline default risk, but counterparty risk due to
embedded option (Murabahah, binding non-binding matter) also exists
• Conglomeration of risks – each mode having various risks, credit, liquidity, market, reputation,

The Islamic Bank : Can we apply the same ALM techniques?!!
ü Certain banks ovoid ALM risks ü The banks have very simple balance-sheets…
ü That’s way certain islamic banks are avoiding certain activities
ü …the islamic banks have a lot of resources not used…waiting for allocation
