Interest rate risk gap ratio
FIGURE 23.1 Interest rate gap. Interest Rate Gap and Liquidity Gaps. If there is no liquidity gap, the fixed rate gap and the variable rate gap are identical in absolute values. 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. Managing interest-rate risk is, in effect, the adjustment of risk exposure upwards or downwards, which will be in response to ALCO's views on the future direction of interest rates. As part of the risk management process the committee will monitor the current risk exposure and duration gap, using rate sensitivity analysis and simulation modelling to assess whether the current level of risk is satisfactory. A gap can cause a reduction in their net interest margin or net income. Assets or liabilities are considered rate-sensitive if their respective rates can change within a specific timeframe. This is often expressed as a ratio: Rate Sensitive Assets to Rate Sensitive Liabilities (RSA/RSL). Repricing limits are set for interest rate management. These limits control exposure by controlling the volume or amount of securities that are repriced in a given time period. By staggering the repricing of the securities the company can reduce the volatility as well as control the degrees of sensitivity in the asset and liability portfolios. The interest rate sensitivity gap classifies all assets, liabilities and off balance sheet transactions by effective maturity from an interest rate reset perspective. A thirty-year fixed rate mortgage would be classified as a 30-year instrument.
All banks face interest rate risk (IRR) and recent indications suggest it is increasing at least modestly. Although IRR sounds arcane for the layperson, the extra taxes paid after the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s suggests there is good reason to learn at least a little about IRR.

Figure 6: interest rate repricing gap analysis The interest rate gap (IRG) is: In essence, banks have two options in terms of managing interest rate risk: maturity of future discounted flows, using the ratio of the present value of each flow to 15 May 2017 between Solvency II coverage ratios and interest rate risk. One would expect a positive correlation because the duration gap is an important These guidelines covered, inter alia, interest rate risk and liquidity risk measurement/ reporting framework and prudential limits. Gap statements were required to be prepared by scheduling all assets and liabilities GAP Ratio= RSAs/RSL.
Rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those likely to increase or decrease substantially in value due to changes in interest rates. A gap ratio over 1 indicates that there are more rate sensitive assets than liabilities, meaning revenue or profits will likely increase as interest rates rise. A ratio below 1 indicates the opposite.

Calculate the repricing gap and the impact on net interest income of a 1 percent What is the value of this ratio to interest rate risk managers and regulators? limits on asset and liability mix, as well as the level of interest rate risk and foreign The gap ratio is defined as the ratio of net assets (or liabilities and equity)
The interest rate sensitivity gap classifies all assets, liabilities and off balance sheet transactions by effective maturity from an interest rate reset perspective. A thirty
An interest rate gap measures a firm's exposure to interest rate risk. The gap is the distance between assets and liabilities. The most commonly seen examples of an interest rate gap are in the The change in market value of banks assets and liabilities by different amounts/ratios due to change in interest rates in known as price risk. The longer the duration, the higher will the impact on value for a given change in interest rate. Measuring IRR with Gap analysis. Interest rate risk can affect in two ways: Rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those likely to increase or decrease substantially in value due to changes in interest rates. A gap ratio over 1 indicates that there are more rate sensitive assets than liabilities, meaning revenue or profits will likely increase as interest rates rise. A ratio below 1 indicates the opposite. If management expects interest rates to vary up to 4 percent during the upcoming year, the bank’s ratio of its 1-year cumulative GAP (absolute value) to earning assets should not exceed 25 percent. FIGURE 23.1 Interest rate gap. Interest Rate Gap and Liquidity Gaps. If there is no liquidity gap, the fixed rate gap and the variable rate gap are identical in absolute values. 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.
If a bank has a negative gap, the amount of liabilities repricing in a given period exceeds the amount of assets repricing during the same period, thus decreasing net interest income in a rising rate environment. The gap ratio can be expressed as the percentage risk to net interest income by multiplying the gap ratio by the assumed rate change.

to interest rate risk-is limited to a permissible range by, say, the ratio of variable- rate assets to variable-rate liabilities. The size of the gap has a major influence.
