In this, the second of several short insights in our Yes Bank Deposit Run Anniversary Series, we adjust Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) assumptions regarding likely deposit flight to the reality of what occurred at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/yes-bank-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:767:1" rel="noopener">Yes Bank (YES IN)</a> to derive “Yes-Stressed” resultant LCRs for each institution. We then assess this “Yes-Stressed” LCR relative to US$-denominated securities to see if this real liquidity is priced-in, from a credit perspective. We also consider the implications of it not being priced and conclude with whether it was Yes Bank’s missing LCR deposits that broke the bank.Approximately one-year ago, India-headquartered Yes Bank began to experience a silent run on its deposits. To mark this inauspicious anniversary, we undertake a series of short insights to determine if the funding and liquidity lessons from Yes Bank are being applied at India-headquartered banks. Spoiler alert: they are not.As we noted in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/india-bank-deposit-flight-risk-lessons-from-yes-bank" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:37617" rel="noopener">India Bank Deposit Flight Risk: Lessons from Yes Bank</a>, India-headquartered bank funding franchises are more sensitive to potential deposit flight than displayed in their quarterly financial presentations. With an undue focus on the levels of current, savings and time deposits, the discussion neglects crucial factors which lead to a stable deposit franchise. At the same, undue reliance on Liquidity Coverage Ratios is not warranted.In our first insight on this matter, we derived the amount of stable deposits and compared this to deposit costs at each major India-headquartered bank. We then assessed these items relative to US$-denominated securities to see if they are priced-in, from a credit perspective. Please see <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/india-headquartered-banks-stable-deposits-and-costs-1-year-after-the-yes-bank-silent-run" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:43981" rel="noopener">India-Headquartered Banks: Stable Deposits and Costs 1-Year After the Yes Bank Silent Run</a> for more details. In follow-up insights, we intent to incorporate deposits that are not captured in LCR reports and then further stress the reported LCRs for possible Covid-19 related payment delinquencies.
