| Description | Maturity transformation is a central strategy for banks to generate additional earnings. As long as the short-term yields are lower than the long-term yields, the transformation of short-term liabilities into long-term assets makes sense. But does this work in every situation? This paper extends previous findings of the authors according to maturity transformation in the Czech Republic (Reuse and Svoboda, 2014) and introduces the following contribution to existing literature: The comparison between the Czech Republic and Germany, using the longest common period available: 2000-05 to 2014-01. |
