Trading strategies in the Italian interbank market

Abstract: Using a data set which includes all transactions among banks in the Italian money market, we study their trading strategies and the dependence among them. We use the Fourier method to compute the variance-covariance matrix of trading strategies. Our results indicate that well defined patterns arise. Two main communities of banks, which can be coarsely identified as small and large banks, emerge.

“…Nonetheless a bank may act as lender and borrower on the same day for different reasons; its position may change during the day as a result of unforeseen cash-flows, the bank could be trying to exploit a profit opportunity, or it may attempt to finetune its reserve level, which may be difficult to achieve via unidirectional operations. Further studies are required to establish the precise nature and rationale for these transactions around the EoM (see Iori et al, 2007).…”

“…The simulation results show that it is easy for homogeneous banks which belong to the same type or have similar sizes to built credit lending relationships, thus contributing to the emergence of the community structure. The community structure is also showed in the real interbank markets, such as those in Austria [21] and Italy [28]. Banks from different regions and sectors form community structures in the Austrian interbank market, while the community structure in the Italian interbank market is related to the bank's size and location.…”

“…Besides, the Italian interbank network was found to be highly heterogeneous, and large banks might lend funds from small banks. Also, a recent study [28] found that the Italian interbank market had two different communities, with one consisting of foreign banks and large banks, and the other composed of small banks. It indicated that the interbank market had a clear community structure.…”
