Q

What is the primary objective of Asset Liability Management (ALM) in banks?

A

ALM aims to manage the risk arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities in terms of maturity, interest rate, and liquidity to protect net interest income and market value of equity.

Q

What is the concept of 'Gap Analysis' used in interest rate risk management?

A

Gap = Rate-sensitive assets minus rate-sensitive liabilities over a period

Q

What does the term 'Duration Gap' signify in ALM?

A

Duration Gap is the difference between the weighted average duration of assets and liabilities; a positive gap indicates the bank is asset-sensitive, meaning rising interest rates will reduce the market value of equity.

Q

What is a Positive Gap in ALM and what does it imply for rising interest rates?

A

Positive gap means assets reprice faster; NII rises when rates increase

Q

How is Net Interest Income (NII) different from Net Interest Margin (NIM)?

A

NII is the absolute difference between interest earned and interest expended, while NIM is NII expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, measuring profitability efficiency.

Q

What is the difference between static gap and dynamic gap analysis?

A

Static gap is point-in-time; dynamic gap simulates future balance sheet changes

Q

What is the concept of 'Repricing Gap' in interest rate risk management?

A

Repricing Gap is the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL) within a given time bucket; a positive gap means assets reprice faster than liabilities.

Q

What does the term 'Basis Risk' mean in the context of interest rate risk?
