A Study Evaluating the Liquidity Risk for Non-Maturity Deposits at a Swedish Niche Bank

Sammanfattning: Since the 2008 financial crisis, the interest for the subject area of modelling non-maturity deposits has been growing quickly. The area has been widely analysed from the perspective of a traditional bank where customers foremost have transactional and salary deposits. However, in recent year the Swedish banking sector has become more digitized. This has opened up opportunities for more niche banking actors to establish themselves on the market. Therefore, this study aims to examine how the theories developed and previously used in modelling liquidity volumes at traditional banks can be used at a niche bank focused on savings and investments. In this study the topics covered are short-rate modelling using Vasicek's model, liquidity volume modelling using SARIMA and SARIMAX modelling as well as liquidity risk modelling using an approach developed by Kalkbrener and Willing. When modelling the liquidity volumes the data set was divided depending on account and customer type into six groups, for four out of these the models had lower in and out of set prediction errors using SARIMA models for only two of the six models were there improvements made to the in and out of set prediction error using SARIMAX models. Finally, the resulting minimization of liquidity volume forecasting 5 years in the future gave reasonable and satisfactory results.
