Abstract

Liquidity Creation is one of the roles that banks play in the theory of financial intermediation, and its components are theoretically related to the economy. In this study, using the methodology of Berger and Bouwman (2009) to compute banks' liquidity creation, we examine the impact of economic sanctions, as well as oil price shocks on the liquidity creation of Iranian banks. Using annual unbalanced panel data and systematic GMM method, the results show the negative and significant effects of oil price shocks on banks' liquidity creation. It has also been shown that oil price shocks have a direct negative effect on liquidity creation within the balance sheet as well as the total liquidity creation. Economic sanctions also hurt liquidity creation and exacerbate the negative effects of oil price shocks. The results of this study provide good policy applications for monetary policymakers.
