Which of the following reports have been suggested by the FDIC that banks should produce in addition to the usual probabilistic analysis and stress tests in order to gauge liquidity issues?
I. Cash flow gaps
II. Funding availability
III. Critical assumptions used in credit projections
Correct Answer: A
The FDIC has suggested that banks produce certain reports in addition to the usual probabilistic analysis and stress tests to better gauge liquidity issues. These include:
I: Cash Flow Gaps: This report helps identify mismatches between incoming and outgoing cash flows, enabling the bank to address potential shortfalls proactively.
II: Funding Availability: This report assesses the bank's ability to access funding sources, both short-term and long-term, to meet its liquidity needs.
References: These recommendations are detailed in the "How Finance Works" document, which emphasizes the importance of these reports for managing liquidity risk.
