Modeling non-maturity deposits

The importance of non-maturity deposits (NMD) in banking is substantially high as the large part of commercial banks' balance sheets consist of client products with non-contractual cash-flow features. Non-maturity deposits are special financial instruments as the bank has an option to change the paid interest on the deposit account at any time, and the client has the option to withdraw any amount from the account without a period of notice. The liquidity and interest rate risk management of these products are a crucial part of ALM analysis; therefore, modeling of non-maturity deposits needs special attention. The uncertain maturity and interest rate profile generates a high level of complexity in their hedging, internal ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
