Real-Time Identification and High-Frequency Analysis of Deposits Outflows

Abstract

We propose a method based on control charts to identify in real-time sudden deposits outflows through the payment system. The performance of the methodology is assessed with both Monte Carlo simulations and real transaction-level TARGET2 data for a large sample of Italian banks. We identify a set of idiosyncratic bank stress episodes. Using high-frequency payment system data, we provide new evidences on the interaction between retail, wholesale, and central bank funding in the post global financial crisis period.
