The Determinants of Liquidity: A Comparison of Islamic and Conventional Banks Covering the COVID-19 Period

Banking and risk are synonymous concepts. The risk concepts for both conventional and Islamic banks are broadly similar, and liquidity risk is among the most important risks that all banks are exposed to. The management process of liquidity risk, which arises when banks do not have enough assets to meet their liabilities at maturity, may differ in conventional and Islamic banks. This study aims to present a comparative analysis of the liquidity determinants of conventional and Islamic banks operating in Turkey. Using the data of 3 Islamic and 17 conventional banks for the period between 2011Q1-2022Q2, the analysis, which also aims to see the short and long-term effects, concludes that the determinants of liquidity risk for conventional and Islamic banks are largely similar. However, the liquidity of Islamic banks is more sensitive to bank-specific variables. The findings showed that Islamic banks, which cannot use all of the conventional liquidity management tools in the liquidity management process for different reasons, have to hold higher liquid assets than conventional banks in the short term, even if they are balanced in the long term.

Bank intermediation efficiency and liquidity risk in Egypt: a two-stage non-parametric analyses

This is a pioneering study that undertakes a comparative analysis assessing the annual intermediation efficiency of public versus private banks in Egypt. Moreover, liquidity risk is a major threat facing banks in their efforts to sustain financial stability. Thus, this study is the first to model the determinants of liquidity risk in public and private banks in Egypt while examining the impact of banks’ intermediation efficiencies on their liquidity risk levels. The study employs advanced nonparametric econometric approaches on a sample of Egyptian public and private banks from 2014 to 2022. The data envelopment analysis is used in estimating banks’ intermediation efficiency scores, while the quantile regression analysis is applied to examine the impact of bank intermediation efficiency on liquidity risk under different liquidity risk quantiles. The findings indicate that public banks show consistent superiority in terms of their financial intermediation efficiency levels compared to private banks. Moreover, the paper findings demonstrate the negative significant relationship between bank intermediation efficiency and liquidity risk while highlighting the higher significant positive impact of intermediation efficiency on reducing the liquidity risk of banks that are characterized by undertaking high liquidity risk levels. Furthermore, contrary to general assumptions, this study’s findings demonstrate that the significance of micro- and macro-level determinants of a bank’s liquidity risk is dependent on its prevailing liquidity risk level. Hence, the positive impact of equity capital, asset concentration, size, and growth in gross domestic product and the negative effect of asset quality on bank liquidity risk vary under banks’ different liquidity risk quantiles.

Determinants of Liquidity Risk in Vietnamese Commercial Banks

Liquidity risk, which tends to compound other risks such as credit and market risks, has become one of the principal risks in banks. Thus, this study examined the determinants of liquidity risk measured by the loan deposit ratio (LDR). The sample included 30 commercial banks in Vietnam based on secondary data coverage from 2017-2021. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the general situation of the banks' assets, liabilities, and business performance. The random effects model (REM) was chosen to determine factors affecting liquidity risk. The results show the huge gap in the business performance of the four state-owned banks and the rest of the joint-stock commercial banks, and the state-owned banks always accounted for over 50% of the total credit, assets, and deposits of the whole banking system. The average banks’ credit and profit growth rates were around 17% and 30%, respectively, and the bad debt ratio was about 2%. Increasing a bank’s credit growth rate and profitability would push up its liquidity risk. On the other hand, holding several liquid securities that banks could sell immediately to meet solvency requirements and maintaining a high capital adequacy ratio (CAR) would reduce their liquidity risk. These findings are valuable to the banks in understanding how to minimize liquidity risk, such as controlling the credit growth rate and CAR, setting appropriate profit targets, and investing in liquid securities. Additionally, by conducting monetary policies, the State Bank should regulate market liquidity and bank liquidity for the safe operation of the financial system.

Systematic and unsystematic determinants of liquidity risk in the Islamic banks in the middle east

Liquidity risk (LR) is a concern in Islamic banks and may lead to major problems if not managed appropriately and planned, due to the lack of external liquidity sources for Islamic banks. However, the purpose of this article is to look at the factors that affect liquidity risk in Middle Eastern Islamic banks. To arrive at a substantial and compelling conclusion, the cross-sectional data from 30 Islamic banks was gathered between 2011 and 2022. The random effect regression model, GMM, and fixed effect regression model were all utilized. According to the report, Islamic banks in the Middle East have safe levels of liquidity. It also demonstrates how the financing-to-deposit ratio, inflation, economic growth, and return on assets all have a favorable impact on Islamic banks' liquidity risks. Furthermore, the study discovered that non-performing financing, capital sufficiency, operational effectiveness, and scale had no bearing on the liquidity issues associated with Islamic banks. This paper provided guidance regarding liquidity risk management procedures and systems in Islamic banks in order to design banking liquidity risk management policies. To avoid liquidity risks in Islamic banks, the optimal level of financing to deposit ratio must be determined, maintaining the quality of financing, reducing the non-performing loan ratio to the lowest possible level, and enabling Islamic banks to benefit from the central bank as a last resort for liquidity.

Bank- specific determinants of liquidity risk for commercial banks in Algeria: Panel data analysis during 2005-2020

This study aims to monitor a group of factors that cause liquidity risks and contribute to the occurrence of liquidity problems by testing the determinants of liquidity risk and the explanatory factors of the liquidity problem in Algerian commercial banks. This study seeks to highlight the importance of commercial banks’ liquidity in financing investments to generate profits and the need to maintain appropriate levels to meet liquidity needs. Using panel data for a sample of nine Algerian banks during the period 2005–2020, the study found that the explanatory variables of the liquidity risks that cause liquidity problems in Algerian commercial banks by using the liquid assets to total assets index ratio are: return on assets, return on equity, and capital adequacy ratio, with an explanatory capacity of 59.44%. Analysis of the results of the fixed effect model showed an inverse correlation between the return on assets and liquidity risks. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between the return on equity, capital adequacy ratio, and liquidity risk. There was a negative, but not statistically significant, relationship between bank size, the loan loss provisions to total loans ratio, and liquidity risk. The study recommends that to increase the volume of assets, there should be a corresponding increase in liquid assets as a precaution against liquidity risks in Algerian banks. Also, other determinants are not addressed in the study, which requires further research into the determinants of liquidity risk in Algerian banks.

Determinants of Liquidity Risk in the Countries of the European Economic Area

The paper documents cross-country variation in the relationship between the deposit insurance scheme and liquidity risk in banks and explores the banking sector specific and macroeconomic determinants that can explain the variation. There is a lack of articles exploring the phenomenon in Europe, authors studying the issue focus on the United States and other parts of the world, so it is difficult to apply their results to Europe. The results of their research are also ambiguous. Using data from 28 countries of the European Economic Area by means of panel regression calculated with the use of GLS estimator with random effects, I established that an increase in deposit insurance coverage reduces the risk of liquidity. The study provides new information to help evaluate deposit insurance schemes across EEA countries.

Determinants of liquidity risk: Empirical evidence from Indian commercial banks

Liquidity risk is a significant financial threat that must be handled carefully. Underestimation or mismanagement of liquidity risk may lead to severe financial losses or even bank failures. Therefore, timely and adequately estimating liquidity risk and examining factors that affect liquidity risk are essential. On that account, this paper aims to examine the determinants of liquidity risk for Indian commercial banks from 2013 to 2022. For this purpose, the study has employed a panel data regression model with pooled OLS, fixed effect, and random effect methods and has considered bank-specific and macroeconomic variables. The findings show that liquidity risk is affected by both bank-specific variables and macroeconomic variables. Bank-specific variables, such as bank age, have a negative impact on liquidity risk at the 1 percent significance using pooled OLS, FE, and RE models. In contrast, bank size and bank capitalization positively impacted liquidity risk. However, the operational efficiency of banks was found to have no significant impact on liquidity risk using both the liquid asset to total assets ratio and the loan to deposit ratio. In addition, the results show that macroeconomic variables such as GDP and inflation have a positive impact on liquidity risk. The study’s findings are expected to assist various stakeholders in making appropriate policies, decisions and managing their liquidity risk.

Measuring Liquidity Risk and Its Determinants in Commercial Banks of Bangladesh: An Empirical Investigation

This study analyzes the determinants of liquidity risk in the banking sector using panel data from 28 banks and three different models: Pooled, Fixed Effect, and Random Effect. The results show that leverage has a consistently positive effect on liquidity risk, while the regulatory environment and bank size have a negative effect. Return on assets (ROA) and capital adequacy ratio (CAR) have varying impacts depending on individual bank characteristics. Real GDP has a consistently negative relationship with liquidity risk. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and bank managers on how to manage liquidity risk in the banking sector.

Determinants of liquidity risk: Do corporate governance practices have an impact? An empirical study of emerging markets

Most banks are concerned about how liquidity risk affects their performance. Managing liquidity risk is critical since failing to do so will result in a bank’s insolvency. This study aims to investigate systematic and unsystematic factors that affect the liquidity risk of Egyptian banks during the period 2000–2022. A dynamic panel data and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator is used. Results revealed that systematic factors have no impact on the liquidity risk of Islamic banks and are more exposed to unsystematic factors. Since corporate governance practices have an impact on banks performance we assume corporate governance practices have an impact on liquidity risk determinants as well. Therefore, applying good corporate governance practices will mitigate the liquidity risk of Egyptian banks. The second part of this study examines which banking system applies corporate governance practices more effectively, and if it has an impact on factors that most affect liquidity risk. Traditional banks and traditional banks with Islamic windows have governance practices more effectively to mitigate the impact of systemic and unsystematic risks on a bank’s liquidity risk. Islamic banks apply governance practices less effectively. This is attributed to the presence of a Sharia Committee as an alternative to applying governance practices.

Determinants Of Liquidity Risk: A Study Of Commercial Banks In Pakistan

The aim of this research is to examine the determinants of liquidity risk of commercial banks in Pakistan. For this research, the data of 20 commercial banks of Pakistan is collected annually for eight years ranging from 2012-2020. This study uses the Panel data regression analysis approach. Liquidity ratio as a dependent variable has been selected as measures liquidity risk whereas five independent variables size of bank, liquid assets ratio, capital adequacy ratio, Leverage, Non-performing loans have been selected for different types of bank-specific factors. Fixed effect regression analysis and random effect analysis has been performed, the Hausman test used to see whether the fixed effect model or random model is suitable. The findings of this study are beneficial for policymaker, manager, economic agents to control on risk factors. The results of this study show the size of bank (SOB), liquid assets ratio (LAR), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) has a negative and statistically significant effect on liquidity ratio. However, Leverage (LEV) has a positive and statistically significant effect on liquidity risk meaning that increase in leverage increase the liquidity risk but Non-performing loans (NPLs) has a negative and statistically insignificant relationship with liquidity risk.

Determinants of Liquidity Risk in the Commercial Banks in Bangladesh

The study examines the bank-specific and external factors that affect the liquidity risk in commercial banks in Bangladesh. The study has been conducted using 23 banks data from 2005-2018, and panel data is used to conduct the regression analysis. Among the bank-specific factors, asset size has a negative relationship with liquidity risk. The larger the bank size, the better the liquidity position and the lower the liquidity risk. Return on equity and capital adequacy ratio has a positive but insignificant relationship with the liquidity risks. In the case of macroeconomic factors, inflation negatively affects the liquidity risks, whereas GDP and domestic credit positively affect. Private and public sector credits increase the investments, which in turn fuel GDP growth. Growth in domestic credit reduces liquidity and may create insolvency. The loan outstanding to asset ratio is positively related to the liquidity risk of the banks. Banks usually increase the loan/advance disbursement to increase profitability, which dries out liquidity and enhances liquidity risk. The study concludes that although several factors are found insignificant yet have positive/negative relation, the banks must carefully evaluate the factors to avoid a future liquidity crisis.

The Determinants of Liquidity Risk in Islamic Banks: A Case of Sudanese Banking Sector

Liquidity risk either due to a surplus or serious shortage in liquidity has a significant impact to the performance and sustainability of Islamic banks. Nevertheless, there are still no common agreement on specific factors that determine the liquidity risk in Islamic banking. This study investigates the determinant factors that affect the liquidity risk of Sudanese Islamic banks. A sample of 11 banks has been selected for a period of 7 years (2012 – 2018). The study is based on secondary data that analysed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis for hypotheses tests. It investigated the explanatory variables of the bank’s cash position (CASH), investment in short-term securities (SECA), degree of financing the assets from customers’ deposits (DPAS) and bad financing and credit risk (NPL) as representatives of banks’ specific factors plus one microeconomic factor which is Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The analysis found a significant and negative relation of CASH and SECA with the liquidity risk in Islamic banks. On the other hand, the results reveal that the DPAS and NPL variables have a positive relation and significant, while the GDP seen to be irrelevant to liquidity risk in Islamic bank. The importance of the study is that it touches the most significant type of risk that most of Sudanese Islamic banks face, and the data analysed covers a relatively longer period of time than similar studies for a single country. We target that the study contributes in providing decision-makers with reasonable ground for prediction and managing the liquidity risk.

Liquidity Risk Management in Full-Fledged Islamic Banking System

This study aims to assess the determinants of liquidity risk in the full-fledged Islamic banking system of Sudan, using panel data regression. The dependent variable in this research is the liquidity risk, which is determined as the extreme excess or extreme shortage of liquidity in each bank, based on the VaR approach, and the independent variables are bank size, investment, profit, and the budget deficit during the period 2012-2016. The authors’ findings indicate the bankspecific variables such as the size, investment, and profit are statistically significant, whereas the budget deficit variable is negatively associated with liquidity risk but is insignificant. The insignificance of the budget deficit variable is an indication of the government reliance on its deficit financing on debt financing, i.e., excessive money creation, as contrary to equity financing. Also indicated in the paper is that the investment variable has a positive and significant effect on liquidity risk, indicating that Islamic banks’ investment portfolios are dominated by short-term securities (sikook). This result supports the findings in the literature that investment portfolios in Islamic banks are likely to be dominated by short-term investment securities as a result of the absence of risk-hedging tools in the Islamic banking system, in general. The finding in the paper also indicates a positive and significant sign of profit coefficient with liquidity risk, which is similar to the positive association between higher risk and higher earnings relationships portrayed in the literature of corporate finance. The effect of the size indicator on liquidity risk reveals a positive and significant association, implying that larger banks are more likely to face liquidity risks of shortage as well as excess liquidity.

Liquidity in the UAE Islamic banks

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the main factors that affect liquidity risk in the UAE Islamic banks.Design/methodology/approachThe study examines the annual data of the seven UAE Islamic banks over the period 2008-2014. Random effects panel data model is used to estimate the impact of four bank-specific variables and two macroeconomic ones on the liquidity risk of the UAE Islamic banks via their impact on five alternative liquidity ratios.FindingsThe paper finds that bank size has a negative impact on liquidity risk according to two liquidity ratios only, and an insignificant impact according to the other three. Both capital adequacy and London interbank offered rate have significant negative impacts on liquidity risk for three liquidity ratios, and insignificant impacts on two. The effect of credit risk is negative for all adopted ratios, while that of return on assets is negative for one ratio only. Finally, real GDP has a positive effect on two ratios and an insignificant one on the others.Research limitations/implicationsThe study provides insights for policymakers and practitioners to choose appropriate liquidity management procedures. It emphasizes that identifying efficient procedures or policies depends on the liquidity ratio that is used as a proxy of liquidity risk and its definition, in addition to the correlation between the liquidity ratio and liquidity risk. The study also provides some guidance to Islamic banks in the UAE concerning the main factors impacting their liquidity, which can eventually enable them to support their liquidity management policies, in a way that would expand their customer base according to profitability aspects, and not only religious ones.Originality/valueThe paper adds to the relatively limited literature on liquidity risk in Islamic banks. It also is the first study that investigates the determinants of liquidity risk facing Islamic banks in the UAE using five alternative liquidity ratios.

The determinants of liquidity risk of commercial banks in Vietnam

This research identifies factors that explain the liquidity of commercial banks in the Vietnam banking system from 2010 to 2015. Using the OLS regression method for analysis, it was found that: the interbank market helps commercial banks improve their liquidity; the larger the loan size, the higher the liquidity risk; good credit risk management has a positive impact on liquidity risk management; and long-term interest rate is negatively related to the liquidity of commercial banks. The research also makes recommendations on liquidity risk management policies to banks and policy-makers from the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam.

How to explain the liquidity risk by the dynamics of discretionary loan loss provisions and non-performing loans? The impact of the global crisis

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of discretionary loan loss provisions (DLLPs) and non-performing loans (NPLs) on the liquidity risk of both Islamic banks (IBs) and conventional banks (CBs) before and after the global crisis that hit nations belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).Design/methodology/approachThis empirical study uses balanced panel data on 16 IBs and 58 CBs operating in the six Gulf Cooperation states covering 2000–2014. The data were obtained from the Bankscope database and the banks’ annual reports.FindingsThe results indicate that NPLs affect liquidity risk differently across the banks – specifically, there is a significant difference in the funding and managing of liquidity between the two bank types. The authors find that the influence of DLLPs does not vary across the banks in the overall analysis and before the crisis. This finding provides insights into the unique nature of banking risks in dual banking systems. The authors also find that after the crisis, the discretionary LLPs affected liquidity risk differently across the banks.Practical implicationsThis study has several practical implications. First, the findings suggest that the Islamic Financial Services Board and other IBs regulators should reassess several regulations, principles and products in order to reduce their credit and liquidity risks. Second, the study emphasizes the need for banks to perform a careful assessment of the effects of their LLP policies. Finally, the findings are also relevant to bankers, as they provide empirical evidence on the effect of loan growth on bank liquidity, suggesting that bankers should improve their loan management.Originality/valueFirst, this is the first study to examine discretionary LLPs, NPLs and liquidity risk in IBs; it is also the first comparative study between Islamic and CBs. Second, the study provides evidence on how the global crisis impacted the banking sector and identifies some of the main determinants of liquidity risk for both Islamic and CBs operating in GCC countries.
