Optimization of Asset and Liability Management of Banks with Minimum Possible Changes

Abstract

Asset-Liability Management (ALM) of banks is defined as simultaneous planning of all bank assets and liabilities under different conditions and its purpose is to maximize profits and minimize the risks in banks by optimizing the parameters in the balance sheet. Most of the studies `and proposed models in the ALM field are based on an objective function that maximizes bank profit. It is not easy to apply changes in these models in order to reach the optimal values of the parameters in the balance sheet. In this article, an attempt has been made to propose a linear model using constraints to achieve optimal values of balance sheet parameters using ALM objectives and considering balance sheet, system and regulatory constraints. It has also been tried to design the model according to the most possible mode and with the least changes and to minimize the size of the balance sheet. The analysis of the model presented in this article has been conducted using the parameters of the balance sheet and income statement of one of the famous Iranian banks. The results obtained from the proposed model show that the values of cash and receivables from banks and other credit institutions have decreased by 30% and increased by 200%, respectively, compared to the actual values of these parameters. Also, Total Income, Operating Income and Non-Operating Income have grown by 30% compared to the actual values of these parameters. Also, the values of a number of parameters are estimated to be zero after optimization. According to the results, it is obvious that the performance of bank managers, especially in the management of bank assets, is significantly different from the optimal values of the balance sheet, and the results obtained from the proposed model can help the management of banks as much as possible.

Optimization Analysis of Company Financial Statements Using Weighted Goal Programming with Analytical Hierarchy Process

“…Peykani et al [13] introduced a Linear Programming (LP) model that integrates constraints to attain optimal values for parameters within the balance sheet. This model is consistent with the goals of Asset Liability Management (ALM), taking into account constraints related to the system, balance sheet, and regulations.…”

“…Similarly, Batrancea [2] (p. 260) indicated that commercial banks play an essential role in mobilizing and distributing funds by loans and deposits to their clients. Accordingly, the banking system can be identified as one of the most important economic sectors [3] (p. 2761), where banks play an active role in the financial markets of any nation [4] (pp. [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”

Investigating the monetary policy risk channel based on the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model: Empirical evidence from Iran

“…The importance of economic policies in economic development, on the one hand, and the effects of wrong policies and their destructive power on the other hand, make attention to how economic policies are applied and how they work always be the main topic of economists' analysis [1][2][3][4]. From the point of view of economic scientists, the effect of applied policies is different and how and by changing which variables and markets affect the target variables of the policy [5][6][7][8].…”
