Diagram 5 shows a DLC time series for the five large banks in Sweden, anonymised, calculated according to Formula 1. The levels have been fairly stable since March 2018, usually between 10 and 40 per cent, but increased somewhat during the pandemic (that is, from March 2020). Bank D has generally demonstrated higher liquidity risk according to this metric compared with other banks, especially on two occasions – in the autumn of 2018 and March 2020.
