The implemented relation is Loan-to-deposit ratio = gross loans ÷ customer deposits × 100, evaluated from Gross banking-system loans, Customer deposits, Liquid assets, Short-term wholesale funding to produce Loan-to-deposit ratio. Wholesale funding, reserve rules, deposit stability and loan quality determine liquidity risk beyond this ratio. The result depends on comparable definitions, units, populations and time periods. It estimates a relationship; it does not establish causation or replace current primary data.
The economic question
Compare banking-system gross loans with customer deposits.
Why this relationship is useful
Wholesale funding, reserve rules, deposit stability and loan quality determine liquidity risk beyond this ratio.
Inputs that must be comparable
- Gross banking-system loans.
- Customer deposits.
- Liquid assets.

Use one market, firm, population and time period throughout; mixing definitions can make a correctly calculated number economically meaningless.
The model
Loan-to-deposit ratio = gross loans ÷ customer deposits × 100
