Abstract

Previous financial crises and researches on financial systems stability show that Risk leads to instability and crises. Debt market as an important part of financial markets in the world and especially in Iran whose financial system relies much on the banking system, has the more effective role in creating economic crises, shock, and instability. Therefore one of the important mission of Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is regulating and providing effective provisional indexes for control and management of crises. Thus guidance of requirements for recognition of banks with important systemic risk is provided by BIS. Using this guidance for recognizing banks with important systematic risk in country level and other studies in this area, the effect of systematic risk on the stability of 24 Iranian banks for a 7 year period from 1388 to 1394 using the generalized method of moments (GMM) for estimating parameters has been examined. Results show that systematic risk has negative linear and statistically significant relationship with banking stability.
