Is domestic finance a problem? • Assumes something about international finance – Make or buy – Is finance a non-tradable? Why? • Assumes something about ownership vs. entrepreneurship – If banks are bad, why don’t the rich do the investing? • Is financial intermediation low? – Yes, but is it supply or demand? • What could in principle go wrong?
Is financial intermediation low? Log of credit to private sector / GDP vs. Log of GDPpc PPP
Is it supply or demand? Real Interest Rate vs. Log of domestic credit to private sector/GDP
Problems with bank lending • High costs? – Inefficient operations? – Low scale? • High risk? – Macro risks: GDP, BOP, inflation, XR – Micro risks: “real”, contract enforcement • Low competition & monopoly power? – Limits entrepreneurship rents
Is it high cost? Look at operating expenses/assets
…or operating expenses/revenue
Is it risks? • There are many types of risk • Aggregate risks – Not diversifiable through domestic assets – GDP, XR, interest rates • Portfolio composition – Sector bets • Liquidity • Operating risks • Contract enforcement risks
Banking risk indicators • The EIU calculates many banking risk indicators • Overall score • Political risk • Economic policy risk • Liquidity Risk • Political stability risk • Exchange rate risk
One example: overall risk
Monopoly power: high margins • • Are banks super-profitable? Look at net interest margins But is this because of high costs? How about non-interest income? Look at profits But is this due to high risk? What would Price/Earnings ratio indicate?
Risk vs. return Bank profits= Net interest income + non-interest income -operating expenses
Is there credit rationing? • • Why would there be? Time inconsistency and contract enforcement Solutions? Collateral Reputation (credit bureaus) Judicial enforcement Adverse selection: Stiglitz – Weiss How is it affected by the level of the interest rate?
