, CREDIT AND BANKING
PART 1 THEORY: WHY DO BANKS EXIST? ARE BANKS SPECIAL?
Goal:
- Aim to understand who benefits from borrowing from a bank
o Bank as a monitor – Bank as an advisor
- Aim to understand why impacts of banking crises may persist for a long time =debt overhang
1. WHAT DO BANKS DO? WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BANKS ?
1.1 DEFINITION
Definition of a bank: an institution whose current operations consists in granting loans and receiving
deposits from the public
- Current <-> trade credit (delay of payment) granted by other firms
- Loans and deposits: fragility of banks
o All depositors may need liquidity at same time
E.g., the Belgian Government Savings Certificates led to a decrease in savings
account
o Lines of credit may be drawn at same time due to e.g., shock in economy
o If both sides withdraw at the same time: double bank run
- Public: justification for regulation
o Because banks provide unique services: liquidity and means of payment
o And small depositors are not armed to assess safety and soundness of banks =
consumers cannot protect themselves and do not know better
1.2 THE FUNCTIONS/ROLE OF BANKS
Liquidity and payment services
- “Money” exists as it reduces transaction costs
- People accept money as they expect to be able to use it again at a later stage
Role of banks in payment systems
- Often a loss-leader
= Component of a bank's operations that may not be highly profitable on its own, but is
there to attract clients
- New threats: Facebook, Apple (digital wallets), Fintech, cryptocurrencies,…
➔ These new players often leverage innovative technologies to provide payment services
more efficiently or at lower costs and they are able to gather a lot of information about their
users
- Info obtained through checking account helps in monitoring firms (e.g., Renault and Mester)
or Norden and Weber
Transforming assets
- Size transformation: deposits are typically small amounts whereas loans are large amounts
