II. Transmission of  Liquidity Spillovers * 

ABCP Funding Liquidity• The financial crisis of 2007 originated from the shock to the U.S. 

subprime mortgage market, but this trigger rapidly transmitted to the ABCP market.

• Funding illiquidity experienced by SIVs and conduits as investors became unwilling to roll over the corresponding ABCP.

• This idiosyncratic ABCP funding liquidity shock reflected increasing uncertainty with regard to the value of the underlying securities.

Bank Funding Liquidity• The SIVs began calling on the contingent credit lines from the 

sponsoring banks, and the balance sheets of those financial institutions were strained by the reabsorption of the SIVs.

• As a result, the level of interbanking lending declined both for reasons of liquidity and credit risk, leading to higher LIBOR spreads.

Transmission of  Liquidity Spillovers

Market Liquidity• Uncertainty with respect to overall market conditions led investors to 

increase their demand for the safest and most liquid of all assets.

• Flight to transparency.

Volatility• Financial markets more generally showed signs of stress and 

uncertainty.

• Increasing both the volatility of markets, including equity markets.

Transmission of  Liquidity Spillovers

Credit Default Risk• The crisis also brought to the forefront concerns about the soundness of 

a number of financial institutions:– Financial institutions saw a decline in the values of securitized mortgages 

and other asset‐backed securities, which resulted in extensive write‐downs.– Higher money market rates increased funding costs.

Liquidity Spirals• Interrelation between market and funding liquidity.• Also account for cyclical effects between market and funding liquidity.

The arguments above motivate the variable selection and support the analysis of the transmission of liquidity shocks across five different markets during the early stages of the crisis:

II. Data and Methodology

• Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model by Engle (2002) which allows for time‐varying correlations. This provides a generalization of the Constant Conditional Correlation (CCC) model by Bollerslev (1990).

• Multivariate DCC GARCH framework. Correlation dynamics.

• Because of a break across all markets, we amend the DCC model to account for a structural break.

• Model in first differences to account for the nonstationarity of the variables in the crisis period.

• Confidence intervals constructed using either Monte Carlo or bootstrapping techniques

26

Page 27: Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets - Q Group · bootstrapping techniques 26. ... Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets I. ... Interbank Market Rates • The ‘interbank’ in LIBOR

Methodology

• Sample Period: January 3, 2003‐ January 9, 2008.

• These econometric techniques allow us to analyze the comovement of markets by inferring the correlations of the changes in the spreads discussed above

– which in turn is essential in understanding whether the recent episode of financial distress has become systemic.

27

Page 28: Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets - Q Group · bootstrapping techniques 26. ... Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets I. ... Interbank Market Rates • The ‘interbank’ in LIBOR

1. Before the subprime crisis there is only limited correlation between markets.

2. During the crisis period, correlations become more important and bigger in magnitude. 

3. Find a statistically significant break in the correlation structure across markets.

4. Find evidence for more pronounced interaction between market and funding liquidity.

5. Solvency aspects became increasingly important during the crisis.

6. Regarding cross‐border effects, the spillovers occur betweenthe U.S. and international money markets.

7. Stock markets and bond spreads of key emerging marketsare also affected by funding and market liquidity shocks.

III. Interbank Market Rates

• The ‘interbank’ in LIBOR and Euribor is somewhat a misnomer.

• Term funds may not be associated with any trades, but a reference interbank rate is still quoted.

• Few, if any, of the banks that contribute to the rate fixings lend term funds to other banks.

• Most unsecured funding comes from non‐bank sources.

• However, interbank rate is an important benchmark for certain loans, including trade finance.

Concluding Remarks

• Financial market innovation has contributed to cross‐border and cross‐market interdependencies

• Interdependencies have significant benefits but...entail risks that have not been fully considered by financial regulators and institutions.

complicate the assessment of liquidity management, risk management and counterparty risk, and policy measures.

43

Page 44: Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets - Q Group · bootstrapping techniques 26. ... Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets I. ... Interbank Market Rates • The ‘interbank’ in LIBOR

Concluding Remarks

• Need to assess these interlinkages and, more generally, the mechanisms that may lead to systemic liquidity pressures.– Externalities may have an indirect impact on third parties and create liquidity spirals.

• Methodologies include:– Those that rely primarily on institutional data (e.g. direct network analysis).

– Those that draw inference from market data (e.g. default risk models, co‐risk analysis, etc.)

– Challenge is how to account for indirect and state‐contingent liquidity risks.

44

Page 45: Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets - Q Group · bootstrapping techniques 26. ... Liquidity Risk and Interbank Markets I. ... Interbank Market Rates • The ‘interbank’ in LIBOR

New Regulatory Landscape – Systemic Liquidity?

• Capital not enough, systemic liquidity risk also needs to be addressed. – Maturity transformation and insufficient stock of highly liquid assets is part of the issue (rollover risks of short‐term liabilities), but not all.

– Need a holistic “measure” of systemic risk.– Need to address non‐bank and non‐deposit sources of systemic liquidity risks.

• Where would a “liquidity charge” be stored? When should be used?– A private or public “insurance” pool?– Central bank(s)?
