Types of Risks
1. Liquidity Risk
It is inability to obtain funds at reasonable rates for meeting Cash flow obligations.
Liquidity Risk is of following types:
Funding Risk: It is risk of unanticipated withdrawals and non-renewal of FDs which
are raw material for Fund based facilities.
Time Risk: It is risk of non-receipt of expected inflows from loans in time due to
high rate NPAs which will create liquidity crisis.
Call Risk: It is risk of crystallization of contingent liabilities.
2. Interest Rate Risk
Risk of loss due to adverse movement of interest rates. Interest rate risk is of
following types:
Gap or Mismatch Risk: The risk of Gap between maturities of Assets and
Liabilities. Sometimes, Long term loans are funded by short term deposits. After
maturity of deposits, these liabilities are get repriced and Gap of Interest rates
between Assets and Liabilities may become narrowed thereby reduction of profits.
Basis Risks: Change of Interest rates on Assets and Liabilities may change in
different magnitudes thus creating variation in Net Interest Income.
Yield Curve Risk: Yield is Internal Rate of Return on Securities. Higher Interest
Rate scenario will reduce Yield and thereby reduction in the value of assets.
Adverse movement of yield will certainly affect NII (Net Interest Income).
Embedded Option Risk : Adverse movement of Interest Rate may result into prepayment
of CC/DL and TL. It may also result into pre-mature withdrawal of
TDs/RDs. This will also result into reduced NII. This is called Embedded Risk.
Re-investment Risk: It is uncertainty with regard to interest rate at which future
cash flows could be re-invested.
