Does Interbank Borrowing Reduce Bank Risk?

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 2009, vol. 41, issue 2‐3, 491-506

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 that 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.
