摘要:The risk supposed by banks on the market,the most common and the most popular is the interest rate risk. For this reason,each banking institution tries to quantify it in order to be able to monitor it permanently and to take the necessary measures to reduce it. The interest rate risk is generated by the decreasing of commission incomes and of bank earned interests,at the same time with the increase of interest expenses paid over a reference period. The quantification involves the calculation of specific indicators,of which the most common is the spread or GAP.
