Does Interbank Borrowing Reduce Bank Risk?

No 6635, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: In this paper we investigate whether banks that borrow from other banks have lower risk levels. We concentrate on a large sample of Central and Eastern European banks which allows us to explore the impact of interbank lending when exposures are long-term and interbank borrowers are small banks. The results of the empirical analysis generally confirm the hypothesis that long-term interbank exposures result in lower risk of the borrowing banks.
