3. 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 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 3
4. 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.
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 4
6. 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
– Static vs Dynamic

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

11. Yield Curve Risk
• Risks caused due to the change
in the yield curve from time to
time depending on the repricing
and 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.

23. Factors Affecting Net Interest Income: An Example
• Consider the following balance sheet:
Expected Balance Sheet for Hypothetical Bank
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
NII = (0.08 x 500 + 0.11 x 350) - (0.04 x 600 + 0.06 x 220)
NII = 78.5 - 37.2 = 41.3
NIM = 41.3 / 850 = 4.86%
GAP = 500 - 600 = -100
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 23
24. 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
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara
24
25. 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?
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara

26. 1% increase in short-term rates

NII = (0.09 x 500 + 0.11 x 350) - (0.05 x 600 + 0.06 x 220)
NII = 83.5 - 43.2 = 40.3
NIM = 40.3 / 850 = 4.74%
GAP = 500 - 600 = -100
With a negative GAP, more liabilities than assets reprice higher; hence NII

27. Maturity Gap Method – Mathematical
Expressions
RSG = RSAs - RSLs 1
Gap Ratio = RSAs / RSLs 2
3
NII = Gap x r
Where,
NII = Change in Net Interest Income
r = Change in Interest Rates
NII = Earning Assets x NIM 4
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 27
28. Maturity Gap Method – Mathematical
Expressions ..
• NII = Earning Assets x NIM x C
• 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 = ----------------------------------------------- 5
• r
• Where; Earning Assets = Total Assets of the Bank
• NIM = Net Interest Margin
• C = Acceptable Change in NIM
•12/17/2009 r Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara
= Expected Change in Interest Rates 28
29. Maturity Gap Method –
Illustration
• 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
• GAP = ------------------------------------------------------
• r
• 3000 x 0.03 x 0.02 1.8
GAP = --------------------------------------------- = ----------- = Rs. 240 Crore
0.0075 0.0075
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 29
30. Maturity Gap Method – Mathematical
Expressions .. Gap Ratio
• Consider the Following Illustration of two banks which have a same Gap
Ratio;
Parameters Bank A Bank B
RSA 2900 1005
RSL 2000 695
GAP 900 310
GAP Ratio 1.45 1.45
NII 830 390
Decrease in Interest 0.5 0.5
Change in NII (GAP * Change in R) 4.5 1.55
%change in NII (Change in NII /NII) 0.54% 0.40%
• Inference: Gap level is more helpful than the Gap Ratio in taking
Positions
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 30
31. Maturity Gap Method – Mathematical
Expressions .. Rate Adjusted Gap
Rate Adjusted Gap = ( RSA1 * WA1 + RSA2 * WA2 + ……. )
• - ( RSL1 * W1 + RSL2 * W2 + ……. ) 6
• Where,
• WA1 , WA2, …. are Weights of the corresponding RSAs
• WL1 , WL2, …. are Weights of the corresponding RSLs
• Illustration: The case of a Positive Gap turning Negative
Increased Increased
Liability Rate% Weight Rate% Assets Rate% Weight Rate%
200 200
1800 10 0.75 10.75 800 12 0.5 12.5
3000 11 11 1000 14 0.25 14.25
1000 16 0.5 16.5
2000 18 18
• Rate Adjusted Liabilities = 1800 x 0.75 = 1350
• Rate Adjusted Assets = [(800 x 0.5) + (1000 x 0.25) + (1000 x 0.5)] = 1150
• Rate adjusted Gap = 1150 – 1350 = (-) 200
12/17/2009
• Inference: By assigning weights the Positive Gap has actually become Negative 31

39. Duration Gap Analysis …
• 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 ) 7
• Where,
• Ds = Duration Gap / Duration of Surplus
• DA = Duration of Assets, DL = Duration of
Liabilities A = Assets L = Liabilities
• S = Surplus / Gap
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 39
40. Duration Gap Analysis ….
Substituting L = A – S in the above eqn. We get
Ds = DL + ( A / S ) x ( DA - DL ) 8
When there is a market fluctuation,
-D( r) x Current MV
MV = ------------------------------------------ 9
(1+r)
Where, MV = Change in the market value
D = Duration of assets or liabilities
r = Change in the interest rate
r = Current interest rate
MV = Market Value
Then,
New MV = Current MV + MV 9
12/17/2009 Presenter: Dr. Vighneswara 40
41. Duration Gap Analysis …..
Then, -D( r) x Current MV
MV = -----------------------------------
(1+r)
An Example:
The following is the information about Bharath Bank. Market value of
liabilities is Rs1800 crores, MV of Assets is Rs2000 Crores, Duration of
Assets is 5 years, Duration of Liabilities is 4 years, the ROI is 10% and
Change in the ROI is +2%. You are required to asses the change in the MV of
the bank whose Equity is currently Rs200 crore.
Answer:
Parameter Change in MV Original MV New MV
Assets -5(0.02) x2000 182 2000 1818
(1+0.1)
Liabilities -4(0.02) x1800 131 1800 1669

•Defined financial targets based on corporate risk
tolerances

48. 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.
