Caapital and liiquidity are two importrtant variablles in bankiing industryy. Capital iss needed
to allow
w a bank too cover any y losses wiith its ownn funds. Alsso liquidityy is fundam mental to
achievee the financiial requiremments of bannk activity. The aim off this articlee is to determ
mine the
impact of capital on bank liiquidity. W We used a sample
s of 11 banks in Tunisia between
b
(2005…….2020). Byy applying a method off panel static (fixed efffects) we fouund that cap pital has
a positivve effect onn bank liquidity.

1. Introoduction
The term m “liquidityy” has two related butt distinct meeanings in finance.
f Ann asset is liqquid if it
can be bought or solds quicklyy in size wiithout moviing the pricce. An instittution is liq
quid if it
can meet its schedduled paym ments or dem mands for funds
f witho
out incurring
ng high costts. Bank
liquidityy refers to the
t latter meeaning but aalso dependds on the former. A bannk is liquid if it can
repay borrowers whenw due, meet deposit withdrawalls, and satisfy draws onn lines of crredit that
it has eextended wiithout payinng inordinatately in fund
ding marketts or sellingg assets at fire-sale
prices. Moreover, because baanks providde funding to each oth her, liquiditty problemss at one
bank caan quickly spillover
s to other
o bankss.
Capital is supposedd to protect a bank from m all sorts of
o uninsured d and unsecuured risks apt
a to
turn intoo losses. Thhis is where we get to th
the two prinn- cipal funcctions of cappital – to ab
bsorb
losses aand to build and maintaain con- fideence in a baank. Capital is needed tto allow a bank to
cover anny losses with
w its own funds.
The objjectif of ourr article is to
t analyse thhe impact of
o capital on
n bank liquiidity. We will
w use a
methoddology of 3 sections. The first ssection is devoted to literature review. In second
sectionw
we will makke the empirical study. We finish by b conclusion of researrch.
2. Literrature revieew
A-Bank
k liquidity
Diamonnd; Rajan (22001) defined bank liqquidity as th he degree off ease of connverting assets into
cash soo that bankss can meet their obliggations on timet withouut incurringg any unexceptable
losses. L
Liquidity caan also be defined
d as thhe cash avaailable with the banks tto meet requuests for
withdraaws from depositors
d or
o requests for borrow wers when granting
g creedit to indiividuals,
compannies or goveernment.
Liquiditty is the ability of the bank to funnd asset gro
owth and meet
m its obliigations as they
t fall
due witthout incurrring acceptable losses (BIS (2008 8)). Indeed,, the Basel Committeee (2009)
explained that thee viability ofo commerccial banks depends on n the liquiddity position
n of the
bank.
Traditioonally, bankks basically
y function aas financial intermediaries and ccollecting points
p of
fund foor differentt groups wiithin the soociety. Theerefore, ban
nks are exppected to maintain
m
adequatte liquidity in order tot efficientlly perform their daily
y obligationns such as meeting
depositoors’ demannd or withdrrawals, settlling wholessale committments and provision ofo funds
when boorrowers drraw on committed creddit facilities (FSC, 20 0).
B-Bankk capital
First, caapital is thee accounting
g residual thhat remains after subtraacting a bannk’s fixed liiabilities
from its assets. Seecond, it iss what is oowed to thee banks’ ow wners—its sshareholderrs—after
liquidatting all the assets at thheir accounnting value. Third, it iss the bufferr that separrates the
bank froom insolvenncy: the poiint at whichh its liabilitiees exceed th
he value of assets.

In paneel data anaalysis (the analysis

t the Hausman
H teest can helpp you to
choose between fixxed effects model

preferreed model is random efffects; The aalternate hyp pothesis is that
t the moodel is fixed d effects.
Essentiaally, the tessts look to see if theree is a correlation betwween the uniique errors and the
regressoors in the model.
m The null
n hypotheesis is that there
t is no correlation

Conclu
usion
Bank caapital is the difference between
b a bbank's assetss and its liab
bilities, and it representts the net
worth oof the bank oro its equityy value to innvestors. Th
he asset portion of a bannk's capital includes
cash, goovernment securities,
s and
a interest--earning loaans (e.g., mortgages,
m leetters of creedit, and
inter-baank loans). The
T liabilitiies section oof a bank's capital
c incluudes loan-looss reserves and any
debt it oowes. A bannk's capital can be thouught of as th he margin to o which credditors are co overed if
the bankk would liqquidate its asssets. On thhe other hand d bank liquiidity is veryy important to the
ability oof a bank to meet its fin
nancial obliggations as th
hey come du ue. It can comme from dirrect cash
holdinggs in currenncy or on account at the Federaal Reserve or other ccentral bank k. More
