Banking Intermediation & Maturity Transformation- A Primer on Banking
Another in the series of Introductory videos to mark the publication of "The Principles of Banking, 2nd Edition", here is three minutes on "maturity transformation" and "banking intermediation". I should point out that although a bank takes deposits and originates loans, it keeps both on its own balance sheet until product maturity; so the definition of "intermediation" here does not imply a "broker". The bank doesn't need the other side to complete the deal on either side (although it does need to fund a loan!). Further discussion in Chapters 1 and 5 of the book.
