Systemic Risk for Financial Institutions in the Major Petroleum-based Economies: The Role of Oil

Abstract

We examine the relationship between oil returns and systemic risk of financial institutions in major petroleum-based economies. By estimating ACoVaR, we observe the presence of remarkable increases in risk levels during the financial crises and achieve a better risk measurement when oil returns are included in the risk functions. Moreover, the estimated spread between the CoVaR without and with oil returns is absorbed in a time range that is longer than the duration of the oil shocks. This indicates that drops in oil prices which have a longer effect on risk and financial institutions require more time to account for their impact. Policy implications are also provided.

Investigating the Impact of Oil Prices Changes on Financial Market Efficiency in Saudi Arabia for the Period (1980-2018): ARDL Approach

“…Also, they discussed how the financialization of crude oil markets affects oil market functionality and efficiency. Khalifa et al (2021) examined the relationship between oil returns and systemic risk of financial institutions in major petroleumbased economies. By estimating Delta CoVaR.…”

The Systemic Risk of Us Oil and Natural Gas Companies 1

“…Lupu et al (2021) found that European energy companies enhanced systemic risk spillovers during 2008, early 2009, and 2020. Within the oil and gas sector, the ∆CoV aR has been used in Khalifa et al (2021) to evaluate the role of oil in driving the systemic risk of the Gulf Cooperation Countries' financial markets, while Tiwari et al (2020) used ∆CoV aR and MES to show that oil price dynamics contribute significantly more to G7 stock market returns during volatile times than during tranquil times. 5 Al-Jarrah et al (2021) show that traditional models fail to capture the systemic risk of small-middle size banks operating in the Gulf Cooperation Council since they have high levels of economies of scale.…”
