Interest Rate Risk (IRR)
• Definition:
– It is the potential loss from
unexpected changes in interest rates
which can significantly alter a bank’s
profitability and market value of
equity.
12/17/2009 3Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara
Swamy
Interest Rate Risk .. explained
• The amount at risk is a function of the
magnitude and direction of interest rate
changes and the size and maturity structure
of the mismatch position.
• If interest rates rise, the cost of funds
increases more rapidly than the yield on
assets, thereby reducing net income.
• If the exposure is not managed properly it
can erode both the profitability and
shareholder value.

Repricing Risk
• Arises on account of mismatches in rates
• Can be measured by the measure of risk in different time buckets
• Information needed
– Balance sheet -on & off on a particular day
– Business plan & expected income/ exp. ignored

Basis Risk
• Interest rates on assets and liabilities do not change in thesame proportion.
• When Bank Rate was raised by 2%, PLR was raised by 1% anddeposit rates by 1.5%
• Interest rates movement is based on market perception of riskand also market imperfections.
• Therefore, basis risk arises when interest rates of differentassets and liabilities change in different magnitudes.
• The `basis’ form of IRR results from the imperfect correlationbetween interest adjustments when linked to different indexrates despite having the same re-pricing characteristics.

Yield Curve Risk
• Risks caused due to the changein the yield curve from time totime depending on the repricingand various other factors.
Yield Curve is the relation between the
interest rate (or cost of borrowing) and
the time to maturity of the debt for a
given borrower in a given currency.

The shape of the
yield curve is
influenced by supply

yield curve may also
be flat or hump-
shaped, due to
anticipated interest
rates being steady,
or short-term
volatility
outweighing long-

Maturity Gap Analysis ..
Objective:To improve the
net interest
income in the
short run over
discreet periods
of time called the
gap periods.
How is it done?The risk sensitive
assets and risk
sensitive liabilities
are grouped into
‘maturity buckets’
based on maturity
and the time until the
first possible
repricing due to
change in the interest
rates
What is the Gap?The gap is then
calculated by
considering the
difference between
the absolute
values of the RSAs
and RSLs.
RSG=RSAs-RSLs
Relative differences in each maturity bucket – represents the sensitivity in
that band.12/17/2009 17Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara

Factors Affecting Net Interest Income: An Example
• Consider the following balance sheet:
Assets Yield Liabilities Cost
Rate sensitive 500$ 8.0% 600$ 4.0%
Fixed rate 350$ 11.0% 220$ 6.0%
Non earning 150$ 100$
920$
Equity
80$
Total 1,000$ 1,000$
GAP = 500 - 600 = -100
NII = (0.08 x 500 + 0.11 x 350) - (0.04 x 600 + 0.06 x 220)
NIM = 41.3 / 850 = 4.86%
NII = 78.5 - 37.2 = 41.3

Factors Affecting Net Interest Income
• Changes in the level of interest rates
• Changes in the composition of assets and liabilities
• Changes in the volume of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding
• Changes in the relationship between the yields on
earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities

Examine the impact of the following
changes
• A 1% increase in the level of all short-term rates?
• A 1% decrease in the spread between assets yields
and interest costs such that the rate on RSAs
increases to 8.5% and the rate on RSLs increase to
5.5%?
• Changes in the relationship between short-term
asset yields and liability costs
• A proportionate doubling in size of the bank?

• Where, C = % change in NIM
• Since, NII = Gap x r
• Gap x r = Earning Assets x NIM x C
• Therefore,
• Earning Assets x NIM x C
• GAP = -----------------------------------------------

• NIM = Net Interest Margin
• C = Acceptable Change in NIM

• Bharat bank has earning assets worth Rs. 3000 crores and a Net
Interest Margin(NIM) of 3%. In a swift move Bharat Bank decided
that a 2% increase/decrease in the NIM can be the acceptable limit.
It further forecasts that a 0.75% increase in the interest rate. Now
you are required to calculate the target gap which the bank can
maintain to remain within the acceptable limits of NII.
• Answer:
• Earning Assets x NIM x C

• Using the Duration analysis to assess the sensitivity of
the market value of Assets and Liabilities.
• Ds x S = ( D x A ) - ( DL x L ) • Where,
• Ds = Duration Gap / Duration of Surplus
• DA = Duration of Assets, DL = Duration of
Liabilities A = Assets L = Liabilities
• S = Surplus / Gap

Conclusion
• Based on the quantity of interest rate risk
and quality of interest rate risk management,
we can evaluate the adequacy of the bank’s
capital.
• Determine the component rating for
sensitivity to market risk.
• Determine further the effect of interest rate
and earnings on the business in a
macroscopic view.
