Estimating Liquidity Risk Using the Exposure‐based Cash‐flow‐at‐risk Approach: An Application to the Uk Banking Sector

Abstract

This paper uses a relatively new quantitative model for estimating UK banks' liquidity risk. The model is called the exposurebased cash-flow-at-risk (CFaR) model, which not only measures a bank's liquidity risk tolerance but also helps to improve liquidity risk management through the provision of additional risk exposure information. Using data for the period 1997-2010, we provide evidence that there is variable funding pressure across the UK banking industry, which is forecasted to be slightly illiquid with a small amount of expected cash outflow (i.e. £0.06 billion) in 2011. In our sample of the six biggest UK banks, only the HSBC maintains positive CFaR with 95% confidence, which means that there is only a 5% chance that HSBC's cash flow will drop below £0.67 billion by the end of 2011. RBS is expected to face the largest liquidity risk with a 5% chance that the bank will face a cash outflow that year in excess of £40.29 billion. Our estimates also suggest Lloyds TSB's cash flow is the most volatile of the six biggest UK banks, because it has the biggest deviation between its downside cash flow (i.e. CFaR) and expected cash flow.

Cash Flow Forecasting as an Element of Integrated Reporting: An Empirical Study

“…where: U -universal set (in the general case of a set of real numbers), then we build numbers' MF approximately equal to some number K, where the parameter (Formula 2) (Yan, Hall, & Turner, 2014) depends on the fuzzy degree . The value is determined from the expression , ,…”

Estimating the Worst Scenario of Net Cash Outflow of Non-Maturity Deposits Based on Quantile Regression

“…This downside risk measure of liquidity risk shows how much cash can run off from deposit accounts over a given period at a pre-defined confidence level. It allows determining the size of a bank's liquidity cushion and «can be directly compared to the bank's risk tolerance and used to guide corporate risk management decisions» (Yan et al, 2011). Such estimates are also valuable for banking supervision as a part of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) (EBA, 2014).…”

“…The worst cash flow is assumed to do not depend on the level of deposit balances at all. Note that in more advanced approaches in order to estimate a cash outflow it is used a multivariate mean regression with relevant macro and market variables (Yan et al, 2011).…”

Risk-Adjusted Pricing of Bank's Assets Based on Cash Flow Matching Matrix

“…Before considering the new approach to building a funding matrix, concern what kinds of cash flows and cash flows at risk are generated by assets and liabilities (CorporateMetrics, 1999;Yan, Hall and Turner, 2011).…”
