چه زمانی نقدینگی اوراق قرضه دولتی هنگامی که بازارهای تحت فشار قرار می گیرند، حرکت می کنند؟ ارزیابی قوانین جدید بازل 3 در مورد دارایی های مابقی بانک

The new rules on bank liquidity set by the Basel Committee require banks to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs) against future cash outflows in periods of market stress. Domestic government bonds are considered to be HQLAs. To assess the appropriateness of this rule, we investigate the liquidity of European government bonds in ordinary times and in periods of market turmoil. We find that the effect of adverse market conditions on liquidity strongly depends on individual bond’s characteristics. Our evidence argues for rules on HQLAs that should constrain the eligibility of government bonds depending on their characteristics (primarily, duration and rating).
