Net interest rate gap

This chapter introduces the interest rate gap model, which is the simplest measure of the interest rate risk of the net interest income, which is one main target variable of ALM. Interest rate gaps are defined in Section 23.1 as projected time profiles of the difference between assets and liabilities sharing a common reference interest rate. An interest rate gap measures a firm's exposure to interest rate risk. The gap is the distance between assets and liabilities.

negative gap: In interest rate sensitivity analysis, situation where the interest-incurring liabilities exceed interest generating assets. A negative gap in declining interest rate environment will improve net interest income because falling interest rates will re-price (at lower rates) a greater volume of liabilities than assets. The interest rate sensitivity gap is much less accurate than modern interest rate risk management technology where the impact of a change in the yield curve can be analyzed using the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework based on the work of researchers such as John Hull, Alan White, Robert C. Merton, Robert A. Jarrow and many others. When market interest rates rise, so do bank funding costs. Therefore, the effect of higher interest rates on banks’ net interest margins—the difference between banks’ interest income and interest expense expressed as a percentage of average earning assets—is ambiguous. Trends in Interest Rates and Net Interest Margins Net Economic Value. NEV is measured by calculating the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, plus or minus the present value of the expected cash flows on off-balance-sheet instruments (such as some interest rate derivatives).

To evaluate earnings exposure, interest rate-sensitive assets (RSAs) in each time band are netted with the interest rate-sensitive liabilities (RSLs) to produce a repricing gap for that time band. A positive gap indicates that banks have more RSAs than RSLs.

An interest rate gap measures a firm's exposure to interest rate risk. The gap is the distance between assets and liabilities. Any liquidity gap generates an interest rate gap. Excess funds will be invested, or deficits will be funded, at a future date, at an unknown rate. A projected deficit of funds is equivalent to an interest sensitive liability. An excess of funds is equivalent to an interest sensitive asset. Traditionally, most bankers have used gap report information to evaluate how a bank’s repricing imbalances will affect the sensitivity of its net interest income for a given change in interest rates. The same repricing information, however, can be used to assess the sensitivity of a banks net economic value to a change in interest rates. The formula to translate gaps into the amount of net interest at risk, measuring exposure over several periods, is: Change in NII = (Periodic gap) x (Change in rate) x (Time over which the periodic gap is in effect) To evaluate earnings exposure, interest rate-sensitive assets (RSAs) in each time band are netted with the interest rate-sensitive liabilities (RSLs) to produce a repricing gap for that time band. A positive gap indicates that banks have more RSAs than RSLs.

Any liquidity gap generates an interest rate gap. Excess funds will be invested, or deficits will be funded, at a future date, at an unknown rate. A projected deficit of funds is equivalent to an interest sensitive liability. An excess of funds is equivalent to an interest sensitive asset.

The exposure of NII to changes in interest rates can be measured by the dollar maturity gap (DMG), which is the difference between the dollar amount of assets that reprice and the dollar amount of liabilities that reprice within a given time period. See also [ edit ] So the bank manager estimates the rate-sensitive liabilities at $17.4 million. The gap calculation for the one- to two- year period is thus $3 million (= $20.4 mil- lion - $17.4 million). If interest rates re- main 5% higher, then in the second year, income will improve by $150,000 ( = 5% x $3 million). Gap, interest rates and asset sensitivity – maturity gap and rate shocks Asset Liability Mismatch. Liability Sensitive Balance Sheet. We will now quickly go through 6 of the above eight scenarios. We will use the same default liability sensitive balance sheet across all scenarios unless stated otherwise. Interest rate risk can affect in two ways: The most immediate impact would be on Net Interest Income (NII). However, if interest rates continue to change for a longer duration the long term impact would be on bank’s balance sheet. Periodic GAP Is the Gap for each time bucket and measures the timing of potential income effects from interest rate changes Cumulative GAP It is the sum of periodic GAP's and measures aggregate interest rate risk over the entire period Cumulative GAP is important since it directly measures a bank’s net interest sensitivity throughout the time interval. The NIM then is computed as ($6.00 – $3.00) / $100.00 = 3%. Net interest income equals the interest earned on interest-earning assets (such as interest earned on loans and investment securities) minus the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities (such as interest paid to customers on their deposits).
