As an important axis of small-loan finance, Credit Union has made
substantial development among non-bank financial world. The interest rate
of Credit Union, which was small but has played a faithful role as a typical
supporter of small-loan finance, has been steady in its operation such that
there would be no large difference even if compared with the interest rate
of a city bank. Such steady assets management of Credit Union taken
notice of, this study is intended to grasp the influence of deposit and loan
interest on each other through comparison between deposit/loan interest of
Credit Union and the base rate of the Bank of Korea, and, if the influence is really beneficial, to estimate the direction of Credit Union deciding
interest rates in the future. This study set the base rate, loan interest,
deposit interest as a dependent and independent variable to compare their
mutual effects, and made an analysis other independent variables by setting
them respectively as a deposit balance and a loan balance.
As a result of analysis of Pearson correlation coefficient, the base rate is
significantly and positively(+) correlated to respective loan interest and
deposit interest. However, it is insignificantly and positively(+) correlated to
a deposit and a loan balance, which are quantitative variables. As a result
of regression analysis on the basis of correlative analysis, it could be found
that interest rates affected each other and became closer to each other.
Examining the difference between the base rate and loan/deposit interest of
Credit Union, it could be observed that the gap of interest rates from 1999
to 2007 became narrow. This implies that despite the fact Credit Union is a
non-bank financial institution, it concentrates on steady deposit and loan
business. As to coefficient reaction degree of other variables, it could be
found that the base rate and each variable positively react each other in a
situation under which the gap of interest spread gradually gets to be
narrow. Accordingly, safe assets operation, which reduces the gap of spread
from existing interest rates, would bring more useful results.
