Abstract

The paper emphasizes the context of financial crisis and the influence of a selection of indicators on bank liquidity, for a period longer than 50 years. The first part represent the introduction on the topic of the study, followed by the presentation of the related literature. The third part reflects the methodology used within the empirical study, analyzing complex correlations between the bank liquidity and two categories of indicators, macro and bank related indicators, for the countries included nowadays within the Euro Area. The paper links, within the fourth part, the qualitative input from other relevant studies with the empirical evidence and findings of our quantitative analysis, based on data collected for the period between 1960 and 2017. Bank liquidity has received special attention, given its strong association with financial crisis events and periods of macroeconomic instability. The final part reflects our conclusions.
