Cyber Risk and Bank Stability

Date
to
Role
Principal Investigator

Cybersecurity is not mere a technical issue; it has also an economics that leads to three key hypotheses: (i) an inadequate cyber risk protection mechanism increases the probability of bank failure, (ii) internet banking & cyber security system has an inverted U shape relationship with the profitability of banks, as an excess IT investment beyond the equilibrium level will negatively affect bank profitability and thereby accelerates bank failure, and (iii) the effect of internet banking & cyber security system on banking stability varies across developed and developing countries. This project has investigated these three issues in the context of 43 countries worldwide and documented that digitalised banking operation is an underlying driver of operational risk that comes with increased business volume. It happens because banks take more than the proportional risk for every dollar spent on disruptive cyber technology.
