Introduction There has been a lot of recent research on financial networks for the purposes of studying systemic risk, performing stress testing or determining the relevance of financial institutions. A commonly shared view is that the financial system is highly interconnected. However, most of the works use the interbank unsecured market as the only source to measure interconnectedness in the banking system.

Introduction Financial institutions interact in different markets, which can be thought of as different networks within a meta-structure which can be interpreted as a multilayered network or a multiplex network. The selection of either structure depends on the specific characteristics of the system and on the different aspects under study. This gives rise to a rich set of complex interactions among these layers, each with different topological properties. It is a possibility to simple aggregate all the layers in order to study the system of interest; nevertheless, insightful information regarding interactions is lost when the multiplex structure is neglected.

Objectives This work has a main goal Characterize the multiplex network of the Mexican financial system. Related objectives Propose new metrics and methods in order to characterize and understand the multiplex network of the Mexican financial system, which can be used in other jurisdictions. Identify important players in the multiplex structure rather than only on single layers. Reveal the interconnectedness and the complexity of the financial system by analyzing how banks interact with each other and how these interactions change through time. These should help in order to derive better systemic risk models and to improve stress testing. Multiplex financial networks: revealing the level of interconnectedness in the financial system. 6 / 43

Data A complete picture of the real degree of interconnectedness in the financial system is missing mainly driven by important data gaps. The Mexican government tightened banking regulation after the Tequilla crisis in 1994 The Mexican Central Bank, Banco de México, set up a data warehouse to which all banks are obliged to report data since 2005 daily data on transactions on unsecured interbank loans, repo transactions, securities holdings and derivative positions. In this project we consider Daily data on many different market activities in the Mexican banking system on unsecured and secured (repo) interbank loan transactions, derivatives exposures, payment system flows and securities holding between commercial banks in Mexico, from 2005 onwards Multiplex financial networks: revealing the level of interconnectedness in the financial system. 8 / 43
Definitions The multiplex network referred in most of this presentation is the multiplex banking system. The multiplex network M consists of N nodes and M layers The whole structure can be described by the set of adjacency matrices M A = {A [1],..., A [M] } where A [α] = {a [α] ij }, with a[α] ij = 1 if i and j performed a financial transaction in market α and a [α] ij = 0 otherwise.

Definitions One important concept is that of the overlapping degree, computed as: o i = Another important concept is that of the multiplex participation coefficient: ( ) P i = M M k 1 [α] 2 i M 1 o i If P i = 1 then all the links incidents in node i are equally distributed across M α=1 k [α] i α=1 layers whereas P i = 0 if node i is only active in one layer. P i and o i are useful to classify the nodes in multiplex hubs (high P i and o i ); focused hubs (high o i and low P i ); multiplex leaves (low o i and high P i ) and focused leaves (low o i and low P i ) Multiplex financial networks: revealing the level of interconnectedness in the financial system. 10 / 43
Definitions Stochastic Block Models have proved to be a useful tool to uncover the latent structure in complex networks. The main hypothesis of these models is that the attributes of agents affect the way they interact with each other. Agents with similar attributes are classified in the same cluster and the relation between agents is conditioned according to the cluster they belong. In the multiplex network context, this characterization take into account the way they connect with others in the different layers.

Definitions Let Q be the number of blocks or clusters in a financial system and Z i = q f the individual i belongs to block q and let n be the number of nodes. Then, (i, j) {1,.., n} 2, i j, w {0, 1} K, (q, l) {1,.., Q} 2, P (X 1:K ij = w Z i = q, Z j = l) = π (w) ql In other words, the probability that 2 banks are connected in any layer depends on the cluster they belong.

Initial Results In this work we study 6 different layers or types of interactions among banks: Transactions on the securities market (CVT layer) Payment system flows (SPEI layer) Exposures arising from interbank deposits and loans, cross holding of securities,derivatives transactions and foreign exchange transactions. All these networks were aggregated in a single network. (Total layer) Multiplex financial networks: revealing the level of interconnectedness in the financial system. 19 / 43
Importance of a layer It is desirable to determine the relevance of each layer of the multiplex system. This question has been answered in Zhu et al 2014 by using correlations among simplex networks. The authors define the inter-simplex correlations for each node as: C isr = j as ij ar ij j as ij + j ar ij j as ij ar ij where a s ij is the interaction of banks i and j in layer s. This coefficient takes values in [0, 1]. The authors define the correlation among layers as: C sr = 1 n i C isr where n is the number of nodes in the multiplex, C sr takes values in [0, 1].

Conclusions and further work We have started to study the multiplex of the Mexican financial system It is possible to include more layers related to different market activities than in previous exercises First results: the multiplex approach deliver important information not available on a individual layer view This has important implications from the systemic risk point of view Multiplex financial networks: revealing the level of interconnectedness in the financial system. 40 / 43
Further work Future work Extend the multiplex analysis to more financial intermediaries. Include some more sophisticated metrics into the multiplex context. Study more in depth stochastic block models and centrality into the multiplex context. Study how to compress some layers without lossing information. Apply all these for weighted multiplex networks.
