Duration Gap Model for managing interest rate risk in banks. Key words: interest rate; risk; management; assets and liabilities; duration gap; bank; interest rate
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. As a result, it will influence bank’s net worth, assets, liabilities and its off-balance sheet positions due to changes in interest rate levels. As, NII is directly dependent on the patterns of interest rates, any mismatches in cash flow debunks NII rate risk because a rise in interest rates could cause it to lose a lot of its capital. Clearly, income gap analysis and duration gap analysis are useful tools for telling a financial institution manager the institution’s degree of exposure to interest-rate risk. Duration Gap Analysis 29 STUDY GUIDE The duration gap is the difference between the Macaulay duration and the investment horizon. When the investment horizon is greater than the Macaulay duration of the bond, coupon reinvestment risk dominates price risk. The investor's risk is to lower interest rates. The duration gap is negative. When the investment horizon is equal to the Macaulay duration of the bond, coupon reinvestment risk offsets price risk. The investor is hedged against interest rate risk. The duration gap is zero est-rate risk because a rise in interest rates could cause it to lose a lot of its capital. Clearly, income gap analysis and duration gap analysis are useful tools for telling a financial institution manager the institution’s degree of exposure to interest-rate risk. Maturity Gap Analysis and Duration Gap Analysis Maturity Gap Analysis The simplest analytical techniques for calculation of IRR exposure begins with maturity Gap analysis that distributes interest rate sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions into a certain number of pre-defined time-bands according to their maturity (fixed In order to ex- amine the sensitivity of the market value of the financial institution’s net worth to changes in interest rates, we could use an alternative method for measuring interest- rate risk, called duration gap analysis. duration, which measures the average life- time of a security’s stream of payments [4]. Gap reports are commonly used to assess and manage interest rate risk exposure-specifically, a banks repricing and maturity imbalances. However, a basic gap report can be unreliable indicator of a bank’s overall interest rate risk exposure.

If you intend to hold a bond or other debt until it matures then there is no interest rate risk to you. The value of the bond at the date of maturity is kknown and will So, in case of mortgages.. if a bank gives out a loan with a certain interest rate to a person so they can buy the house (mortgage), but they find themselves in the A negative duration gap means that the market value of equity will increase when interest rates rise (this corresponds to a reinvestment position). The duration gap is usually used by financial institutions such as banks to gauge their overall exposure to interest rate risk .
These models can be used for designing various hedging strategies such as portfolio immunization, bond index replication, duration gap management, and

A negative duration gap is when the duration of assets is less than the duration of liabilities (which means greater exposure to declining interest rates). If rates go framework that includes sophisticated concepts such as duration matching, variable- rate pricing perspective. interest rate sensitivity and gAP management.

A financial institution's net worth exposure to interest rate shocks is directly related to its leverage adjusted duration gap as well as its asset size: R. R . A.
