    Solution

    The management of Interest Rate Risk should be one of the critical components of market risk management in banks. The Net Interest Income (NII) or Net Interest Margin (NIM) of banks is dependent on the movements of interest rates. Any mismatches in the cash flows (fixed assets or liabilities) or repricing dates (floating assets or liabilities), expose banks’ NII or NIM to variations. The earning of assets and the cost of liabilities are now closely related to market interest rate volatility
