Risk Management of Building Societies in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates risks of building societies in the Czech Republic, both theoretically and practically, focusing on the liquidity and interest rate risk. We show that these two risks are more theoretical and are not threatening the sector in an extensive manner recently. Nevertheless, the stability of this sector can be undermined by hasty government reforms. In addition, we use the vector autoregression model to examine the interest rate pass-through into bank and building society interest rates in 2004 – 2011. The results indicate that the building society interest rates are more stable and less responsive to interbank market rates as well as to government bond yields. This conclusion follows from the institutional setting of building societies.
