2. Financial Intermediary?
• A financial intermediary is an entity that acts as the middleman
between two parties in a financial transaction.
• It facilitates the channeling of funds between lenders
and borrowers indirectly.

Savers give funds to an intermediary institution (such as a bank), and that institution
gives those funds to spenders (borrowers). This may be in the form of loans or
mortgages.

5. Depositor Confidence
• Risks specific to financial intermediaries, such as banks, include the risk of losing
depositor confidence and misjudging the credit worthiness of borrowers.
• It is of the utmost importance that each and every bank be seen by the public as a
safe place to deposit money.
• Failure to do so can, at the extreme, result in public panic and a bank run. Banks
must not only manage their business prudently, they have to convince the public
that they are doing so.
Risk Managed By Banks As Financial Intermediaries

6. Contd…
Credit Risk
•Banks are in the business of taking on risk. When they borrow from a
depositor, the depositor needs to be 100 percent confident that they will get
their money returned
•When a bank loans money, it knows that some of the loans will not be re-
paid. Of course, they don't know which ones will go bad in advance. What
they do for each loan is a thorough analysis to determine how much risk the
bank is taking on that the borrower won't repay the money.

7. More Complex Risks
• The major banking crisis in the United States that saw the collapse of Lehman Brothers in
2008 brought to focus other kinds of risks
• These include capital adequacy and liquidity management. Capital adequacy is a
comparison of a bank's assets to its capital. Liquidity management, when properly done,
ensures an organization has realistic cash flow projections for both in and outflows, and
the ability to meet all of its obligations on time.

or market, where the failure of a single entity or cluster of entities can cause a
cascading failure, which could potentially bankrupt or bring down the entire system
