Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] Following the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers investment bank and the near collapse of the insurance company American International Group (AIG), both of which are heavily involved in the Cds sector, greater attention has been paid to the CDSs of the main banking groups . Using the CDS spreads of a sample of international banks in the period 2005 - March 2010, this work investigates the presence of a relationship between the CDS spreads and the financial statement indicators. The results of the empirical analysis show a strong relationship between the dynamics of the CDS spreads in the banking sector and the economic-financial performance of the banks, thus making them important indicators of the banking risk profile.
