In today’s banking business, liquidity risk and its management are some of the most critical elements that underlie the stability and security of the bank’s operations, profit-making and clients confidence as well as many of the decisions that the bank makes. Managing liquidity risk in a commercial bank is not something new, yet scientific literature has not focused enough on different approaches to liquidity risk management and assessment. Furthermore, models, methodologies or policies of managing liquidity risk in a commercial bank have never been examined in detail either. The goal of this article is to analyse the liquidity risk of commercial banks as well as the possibilities of managing it and to build a liquidity risk management model for a commercial bank. The development, assessment and application of the commercial bank liquidity risk management was based on an analysis of scientific resources, a comparative analysis and mathematical calculations.

Liquidity risk is the bank’s incompetence to meet the financial obligations on due date at rational cost and without experiencing undesirable losses. It is essential that banks should adhere to prudent liquidity risk management framework to avoid insolvency, bankruptcies and to ensure healthy and stable financial position. It also facilitates the banks to reduce the possibility of adverse situation developing. This study examines the liquidity risk management of scheduled commercial banks by applying stock approach i.e., liquidity ratios. This paper assesses the liquidity risk that the SCBs are exposed to spread over a period from 2005-2015 in order to identify effective measures to mitigate the risk. The findings from the study revealed that SCBs has better liquidity risk management framework in practice.

This chapter examines a practical methodology for the assessment and control of market and liquidity risk exposures for financial trading portfolios that consist of certain equity assets. The applied technique is based on the contemporary concept of liquidity-adjusted value at risk (LVaR) along with the application of optimization risk-engine algorithms. This chapter proposes a broad market and liquidity risk management model that can concurrently perform LVaR estimation under regular and stressed market scenarios. It takes into account the effects of illiquidity of traded equity assets. In order to demonstrate the appropriate application of LVaR and stress-testing techniques, real-world case analysis of trading risk management are presented for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) stock markets. To this end, a number of optimization case studies are examined with the aim of developing a novel technique of trading risk measurement as well as the implementation of a risk optimization process for the computation of the maximum permitted LVaR limits.

Risk management is one of the eternal themes of the commercial banks. Face unprecedented and increasingly complex financial risks, bankers are increasingly aware that the tools based data which analyze number of traditional risk management is not comprehensive and flexible. To effectively prevent and resolve commercial bank operating risks, enhance the core competitiveness of commercial banks and achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to develop financial engineering as an opportunity for the traditional risk management tools to conduct a holistic deep integration.

The study presents various approaches to the interpretation of the concept of liquidity of a credit institution and its essence. Differences are highlighted that reflect the priority aspects in assessing the liquidity of a commercial Bank from the authors ‘ point of view. The Bank of Russia’s liquidity ratios and ratios are also presented. The research resulted in a change in the Bank’s structure, since the most important element of the formation of a commercial Bank’s liquidity management system is the improvement of the organizational structure responsible for forecasting liquidity and selecting management tools. When improving such a structure, it should be ensured that the structure is integrated into the unified management system of a commercial Bank, that it is linked to other structural divisions of the Bank, and that it has a comprehensive approach to managing liquidity risk, along with other risks. It is concluded that the most effective model is the creation of a single risk management Department, which includes a liquidity management Committee. At the same time, all structural divisions of the Bank should be included in the General system. The recommendation to evaluate the obligations taking into account the possibility of their early repayment is justified.There is no conflict of interests.

The study examined “risk management and financial performance of banks in Nigeria” with focus on commercial banks. The broad objective of the study was to ascertain the effect of risk asset management on the optimal financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study is a longitudinal survey, so the ex-post facto research design was applied. Research data were analysed using generalized method of moments (GMM) and vector Error Correction Model, after testing and adjusting the data for stationarity and Cointegration.The research findings were: Banks’ profitability is significantly influenced in the short run by liquidity risk and in the long-run by credit risk, capital adequacy risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk. Furthermore, profitability measured by ROaA was found to be positively related to liquidity risk but negatively related credit risk. Arising from the findings, there is the need for effective risk management, especially credit, capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity risks, to enhance the profitability of banks. By helping to enhance the going concern of banks, risk management will help to reduce retrenchment and unemployment and hence help to forestall the attendant social vices.
