According to my point of view, it will be a Interest rate risk. Inflation rate risk applies only to bonds and it is not for the banks. So, Anyone agree with my statement due to the following reasons: -
1. S&K Saving Bank has issued saving certificate (certificate of deposits) for Rs. 1,000 with one year maturity at 4% interest rate.In next year bank will reissue the certificate of deposits;
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Type of risk: Interest rate risk
Reasons:
• The bank has invested the in treasury bonds for two years maturity at fix interest rate so return will be certain and there will be no profit or loss situation.
• The bank will reissue the certificate of deposits by which it will be able to pay for the certificates of deposits issued in first year reducing the liquidity issue. Inflation will also play some role and next year the interest rate will also rise.
