Banking and the
Management of
Financial
Institutions
Banking plays a crucial role in channeling funds to
borrowers with productive investment opportunities. This
financial activity is essential for a smooth and efficient
financial system and economy.

obtained from depositors
and other lenders.
Liability
Checkable Deposits
1 Definition
Checkable deposits are bank accounts that allow account holders to write
checks to third parties. They include non-interest-bearing checking accounts,
interest-bearing NOW accounts, and money market deposit accounts.
Securities
Banks hold securities, primarily debt instruments, as an
important income-earning asset. They seek securities
with high returns and low risk, diversifying their holdings
to manage risk.
Deposit at other Banks
Loans Many small banks hold deposits in larger banks in
exchange for a variety of services, including check
collection, foreign exchange transactions, and help with
securities purchases. This is an aspect of a system
called correspondent bAnking. Collectively, reserves,
cash items in process of collection and deposits at other
banks are often referred to as cAsh items.
Loans
Loans are the primary source of income for banks. They
carefully screen borrowers to minimize the risk of default
and seek out loan opportunities with high interest rates.
Other Assets
The physical capital (bank buildings, computers, and
other equipment) owned by the banks is included in this
category.
Asset Transformation
1 Borrowing Short
Banks acquire funds through short-term
liabilities like deposits.
2 Lending Long
Banks use these funds to make long-term loans,
transforming short-term liabilities into long-term
assets.
3 Profit Generation
Banks earn profits by charging higher interest
rates on loans than they pay on deposits.
Bank
Management: A
Comprehensive
Overview
General Principles of Bank Management
Liquidity Management
Ensuring sufficient cash reserves to meet depositor withdrawals and obligations. This
involves acquiring liquid assets to manage potential deposit outflows.
Asset Management
Minimizing risk by acquiring assets with low default rates and diversifying asset
holdings. This involves selecting assets that offer a balance of return and risk.
Liability Management
Acquiring funds at the lowest possible cost. This involves strategically managing the
bank's liabilities to ensure efficient funding for its operations.
2 Reserve Requirement
Banks are required to maintain a certain percentage of deposits as
reserves, determined by the central bank.
3 Reserve Shortfall
If a bank's reserves fall below the required level, it faces a shortfall and
must take action to replenish its reserves.
2 Selling Securities
Banks can sell some of their securities, particularly highly liquid ones, to
generate cash and increase their reserves.
4 Reducing Loans
Banks can reduce their loan portfolio by calling in loans or selling them to other
banks, although this can be costly and disruptive.
The Importance of Excess Reserves
Banks often hold excess reserves, which are reserves beyond the required level. This provides a
buffer against deposit outflows and avoids the costs associated with acquiring reserves through
other means.

Liability Management:
Acquiring Funds at Low Cost
Traditional Approach
Banks relied heavily on checkable deposits as their primary
source of funds, with limited flexibility in managing their
liabilities.
Modern Approach
Banks actively manage their liabilities to meet their funding
needs, seeking out the most cost-effective sources of funds.
Asset-Liability
Management (ALM)
Modern banks employ an integrated approach to
managing both assets and liabilities, known as asset-
liability management (ALM). This involves coordinating
asset and liability decisions to optimize the bank's overall
performance.
The Importance of Bank
Regulation
Bank regulation plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety
and soundness of the banking system. Regulators set
capital requirements, monitor bank activities, and
intervene when necessary to prevent financial instability.
A Dynamic and Evolving
Industry
The banking industry is constantly evolving, driven by
technological advancements, regulatory changes, and
changing customer needs. Banks must adapt to these
changes to remain competitive and profitable.
Understanding
Bank Reserves
Assets Liabilities
2 Reserves Decrease
When a customer withdraws funds from their checking account, the
bank's reserves decrease by the amount of the withdrawal.
Reserve Transfer
The Fed transfers $100 of reserves from Second National Bank to First
National Bank, reflecting the movement of funds.
When a check drawn on one bank is deposited into another, the receiving bank gains
reserves equal to the amount of the check, while the bank on which the check is written
loses reserves by the same amount. This process involves the Federal Reserve (Fed) as a
clearinghouse, transferring reserves between banks.
Required Reserves and Excess
Reserves
Required Reserves Excess Reserves
Banks are required to hold a certain percentage Any reserves held by a bank in excess of the
of their checkable deposits as reserves, known required reserves are called excess reserves.
as required reserves. This percentage is Banks can choose to hold excess reserves or

the central bank.
Banks are required to hold a certain fraction of their checkable deposits as reserves, known as
required reserves. Any reserves held in excess of this requirement are called excess reserves. This
distinction is important because excess reserves can be used for lending and profit generation.
Profit Generation through Asset
Transformation
1 Initial Situation
The First National Bank receives an additional $100 in checkable deposits,
increasing its required reserves by $10.
2 Loan Creation
The bank decides to lend out its $90 of excess reserves, creating new
loans and increasing its assets.
3 Profit Generation
The bank earns interest income from its loans, exceeding the costs
associated with servicing the checkable deposits, resulting in a profit.
Banks make profits by transforming short-term liabilities (checkable deposits) into longer-
term assets (loans). By lending out excess reserves, banks earn interest income, which
exceeds the costs associated with servicing the deposits, resulting in a profit.
The Importance of Asset
Transformation
Profitability
Asset transformation allows banks to generate profits by earning interest on loans while
paying interest on deposits.
Economic Growth
By lending out funds, banks facilitate economic growth by providing businesses and
individuals with access to capital.
Financial Stability
Asset transformation helps banks maintain financial stability by ensuring they have
sufficient reserves to meet customer demands.
