This paper develops an integrative dynamic framework to evaluate the exposure of banks to sovereign credit risk using stress tests. The framework is used to replicate the historical twin-crisis dynamics which ensues when stress tests are implemented on selected macro-financial variables, based on a perfect foresighting exercise for the case of Jamaica.

How to manage Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book considering the monetary...Ziad Fares
ย
The past few years have seen central banks use unconventional tools to stimulate an economy that has kept on struggling since the 2008 crisis. In order to avoid deflation and other economic turmoil, the FED launched a massive bond-buying program called the Quantitative Easing (QE). After the American โexperimentโ, the ECB launched a similar program early march 2015 as an emergency stimulus to a weakened economy. Such unconventional monetary policy has an impact on interest rates, and therefore, requires a closer monitoring of the Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB). In such a context, this white paper focuses on understanding how current market conditions (low interest rates) can affect banksโ revenues and profitability while discussing and analyzing the impacts of any changes of the term structure of yield curves on the Net Interest Income. Additionally, as regulators are taking a closer look on how to capture (and cover) the IRRBB, this white paper provides a methodology for measuring the IRRBB and analyzes, via simulations on a real portfolio, the impacts of interest rate moves on the Economic Value of Equity and the Earnings at Risk.

1.(a)
Discuss various measures of capital market efficiency and how efficient capital markets contribute to the efficiency in the market for goods and services (including productive capital). As part of your discussion, consider the implications of the fact that the bulk of trading in capital markets is in outstanding securities and analyze the meaning of the terms "depth," "breadth," and "resiliency" as descriptions of capital markets. Include in your discussion the types of legislative and regulatory reforms that might be or have recently been instituted in order to improve the efficiency of capital markets and the role of "insider trading" and the SEC as they affect market efficiency.
(b)
Compare money and capital markets and identify the major issuers of securities in the different markets and the difference among the various types of securities within and between each of the markets. Within your discussion of the money markets include a consideration of the role of the Federal Reserve System (Fed) and the banking system as they interact through required reserve maintenance, needs for liquidity and monetary policy actions by the Fed. Consider in your analysis the types and significance of the links between the money and capital markets via the term structure of interest rates, issuers of debt and equity and the presence of interest rate and credit risk derivatives.

2. There are a number of theories of the term structure of interest rates including the unbiased expectations hypothesis, preferred habitat hypothesis, and market segmentation hypothesis. Discuss the implications of the unbiased expectations hypothesis within the context of the following problem. Problem 1: For a two year, default free, zero coupon security, compute its yield to maturity and draw the respective yield curves assuming two different expectations of inflation employing the Fisher Effect and the data below: (a) 4 percent one year from now, and (b) 2 percent one year from now. In addition, define and compute the implied forward yield on a one year security one year from now, assuming the current two year yield is 6.0 percent. Discuss the assumptions underlying this calculation and how it can be used to evaluate the implied forward yield on a 1-year loan, next year. (c) Wh.

Risk drivers specifically related to the COVID19 outbreak are not currently directly captured by credit ratings systems. It is therefore critical for banks to ensure they understand their positions and prepare to take mitigating action.
Authors: Matteo Coppola, Lorenzo Fantini, Filippo Fioravanti
Attheir creation, the rating agencies were like the news agencies because they published newsletters and were paying by contributions subscribers. That method of remuneration then evolved, and these are the debtors who have paid the agencies. Meanwhile, rating methods have gradually evolved to take into account the use of increasingly important to companies called sophisticated financial products such as structured products. Although the method of compensation has evolved, the activity of agencies has not changed and their responsibilities have remained for a long timethose news agencies, that is to say protected by freedom of expression. Thus, for years, they have enjoyed a special status allowing them to express opinions without any legal constraint weighs on them. Indeed, unlike, for example, an auditor who certified the accounts and give "reasonable assurance" of their quality based on professional standards of practice; no methodology stress weighs on agencies. However, their responsibilities have been initiated for the first time in the history of the rating, after the crisiss structured products. We see in this article how the agencies evaluate the risk of industrial and commercial companies (corporate) and financial institutions, as well as before ages and limitations of the current methodology used by credit rating agencies.

USDA Loans in California: A Comprehensive Overview
If you're dreaming of owning a home in California's rural or suburban areas, a USDA loan might be the perfect solution. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers these loans to help low-to-moderate-income individuals and families achieve homeownership.
Key Features of USDA Loans:
Zero Down Payment: USDA loans require no down payment, making homeownership more accessible.
Competitive Interest Rates: These loans often come with lower interest rates compared to conventional loans.
Flexible Credit Requirements: USDA loans have more lenient credit score requirements, helping those with less-than-perfect credit.
Guaranteed Loan Program: The USDA guarantees a portion of the loan, reducing risk for lenders and expanding borrowing options.
Eligibility Criteria:
Location: The property must be located in a USDA-designated rural or suburban area. Many areas in California qualify.
Income Limits: Applicants must meet income guidelines, which vary by region and household size.
Primary Residence: The home must be used as the borrower's primary residence.
Application Process:
Find a USDA-Approved Lender: Not all lenders offer USDA loans, so it's essential to choose one approved by the USDA.
Pre-Qualification: Determine your eligibility and the amount you can borrow.
Property Search: Look for properties in eligible rural or suburban areas.
Loan Application: Submit your application, including financial and personal information.
Processing and Approval: The lender and USDA will review your application. If approved, you can proceed to closing.
USDA loans are an excellent option for those looking to buy a home in California's rural and suburban areas. With no down payment and flexible requirements, these loans make homeownership more attainable for many families. Explore your eligibility today and take the first step toward owning your dream home.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
ย
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

3. Motivation
โข Evaluate the nexus between sovereign debt
sustainability and the stability of the financial
sector.
โ Is there any relationship between the
sustainability of a countryโs debt profile and the
stability of the financial sector?
โ Can we systematically measure the exposure of
the banking system to an implicit or explicit
default on sovereign debt?
4. Research Objectives
โข Evaluate impact of such shocks on the credit
risk exposure of the financial sector
โข Develop integrated model of debt dynamics
and the stability of the financial sector
โข Use model to explore the impact of shocks to
the macro economy on the stability of the
financial sector
5. The relationship between banking fragility and government fragility
โฆ arises because the operations of both entities are intricately
intertwined...
Fiscal Balance
Bank Exposure
7. We can evaluate this relationship over time by evaluating
scatterplots of the relative fragility of banks and the
relative fragility of the government over timeโฆ.
Fragility measures (the risk of insolvency) can be derived
for both banks and governments using Contingent
Claims Analysis (CCA) techniques.
The assessment can lead to some interesting resultsโฆ
when we evaluate monthly data for the Government of
Jamaica (GOJ) and the aggregate banking system in
Jamaica for a ten year period as we will soon seeโฆ.

Between 2000 and 2010 both the banking system and the
Government of Jamaica have experienced both relative
stability as well as periods of โjoint-heightened fragilityโ

11. To evaluate this we must understand
how shocks are transmitted within
the economic system.
To do this we will need a structural

The government agent continues to adjust its borrowing requirement until the
difference between its target cash balance (DGCB) equates with its cash balances (GCB)
over the period, dft.
The agent defines its cash needs as a function of its average historical expenditure
rate, a coverage period for the funds (gcbct) and as a function of the profitability of
the banking sector, ๐ ๐ .
The governmentโs cash balance will therefore be increasing in tax revenues and
borrowing and decreasing in expenditures and debt servicing.

39. Specification of Univariate Shocks
Each shock is implemented at the beginning of 2007 and the impact on macro-
financial stability is evaluated for the four year period up to 2011.
1. Foreign Exchange Rate Shock: involves an increase in the rate of depreciation to
10.0 per cent per year for a period of one year.
2. Reserves Shock: rapid loss in the net international reserves (NIR) of the sovereign
nation of US$0.5 billion for a period of one year starting at the beginning of 2007
and then declines by US$0.7 billion for the following year.
3. Exports Shock: significant decline in exports of US$2.0 billion for a period of one
year starting 2007. As a result export earnings decline to US$3.7 billion in 2007.
4. External Interest Rate Shock: an increase in external interest rates for a period of
one and half years at the start of 2007. External interest rates on bonds peak at
11.0 per cent by mid-2007.
44. Impact of Global Financial Crisis on
Jamaica
The stylized simulated shocks are calibrated as follows:-
1. External Interest Rate Shock: increase in the indicated external interest
rate by 15.0 per cent in 2007.
2. Foreign Exchange Rate Shock: increase in the rate of depreciation in the
foreign exchange rate to 18.0 per cent in 2008 for one year.
3. Reserves Shock: decline in the net international reserves (NIR) of 11.0
per cent and 22.0 per cent in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
4. Exports Shock: reduction in the exports of goods and services of 27.0
per cent in 2009.
5. Fiscal Shock: increase in the rate of employment of public sector
workers to 8.0 per cent in 2007.

54. Other Insights from the Framework
โข The standard ways that banks attempt to protect
themselves from increasing risk can create more risk
for the entire financial system.
โข Highly indebted Governments which attempt to run
counter-cyclical fiscal policy to offset the impact of
the crisis can instead exacerbate and intensify the
impact of the crisis.
