The Banks Financing Cost and the Basis Risk
Piotr Mielus
Abstract
The 2007–2009 financial crisis changed the structure of banks liabilities and their cost of funds. A disclosure of the credit and liquidity risk induced diminished significance of wholesale sources of funds in favour of retail funds. Simultaneously, incomes on the asset side maintained to be dependent on the interbank interest rate benchmark. In Poland, due to the dominance of floating rate mortgages, income on the asset side is determined by the WIBOR rate. The article points out the basis risk created by the assets indexation divergent with the cost of liabilities. The analysis was performed both for cooperative and commercial banks including their foreign currency portfolios. The evidence suggests a divergence between the available money market benchmark and the price determinants that have influence on the interest result generated on bank’s liabilities.
