In a surprise
monetary policy action on August 10, 2015, the People’s Bank of China cut its
daily currency reference rate against the USD, resulting in a large devaluation
of the CNY versus the USD. Immediately after the announcement, the CRO of CMM
Bank (CMM), an international bank with headquarters in Shanghai, began evaluating
the impact of this and other events on the bank’s position.
CMM had
outstanding long-term debt denominated in USD and deposits denominated in CNY.
A significant portion of CMM’s lending portfolio was also denominated in CNY
and consisted largely of loans and lines of credit to Chinese manufacturers who
were heavily dependent on imported raw materials. Other loans to non-Chinese
firms with exposure to China were denominated in USD. The bank’s portfolio
investments included CNY denominated Chinese Treasury securities and other
sovereign debt.
A portion of CMM’s
retail customer base had invested on margin in the Chinese equity markets. Over
the next few weeks, local stock markets experienced declines in share prices.
Many of CMM’s larger retail depositors experienced margin calls and had begun
to draw down demand deposits to meet them. Offsetting these outflows, however,
were increases in the 3-month, 6-month and 9-month term deposit balances at CMM
of several large corporate customers. The result was that CMM’s overall net
deposit flow had been approximately zero.
As a result of
credit developments elsewhere in the world, several of CMM’s sovereign debt
holdings were downgraded, some from AA to A and some from A to BBB. One of the
noticeable outcomes was that the bid-ask spreads on many of the sovereign bonds
held and traded by CMM widened. Despite these developments, CMM’s sovereign
debt portfolio remained exclusively investment grade with a weighted average
rating of A+.
CMM’s CRO was concerned about the bank’s liquidity
position and decided to review the impact of the devaluation and other capital
market events on its net stable funding ratio (NSFR). Ignoring any changes in
the market value of CMM’s sovereign debt holdings, which of the following is
correct?
选项:
A.The NSFR will not be impacted by the sovereign credit
rating changes because the overall sovereign debt portfolio remains investment
grade
The NSFR will be reduced by the sovereign credit
rating changes but this effect can be offset by selling A-rated sovereign debt
and investing the proceeds in gold
The NSFR will not be impacted by the change in demand deposits because the bank’s overall deposit level is unchanged
The NSFR will be reduced by the change in demand
deposits but this effect can be offset by issuing common stock
解释:
The shift in the demand deposit base from retail
demand deposits to wholesale demand deposits with terms less than one year
would reduce the NSFR. The change in retail deposit behavior would likely cause
a shifting of demand deposit classification from “stable” to “less stable” also
reducing the NSFR. The downward sovereign credit migration would increase the
RSF applied to these bonds and reduce the NSFR. The issuance of common stock,
which should be classified as Tier 1 capital, would increase the NSFR.
D选项可以解释一下吗?
