Abstract

Freezing assets in the banking network cause a credit crunch in the economy. In Iran, due to the bank-oriented financial system, the majority of the financing of the economy is done through the money market. Meanwhile, banks play the main role in equipping and distributing resources in different sectors of the economy, especially supporting the production sector. The evidence shows that the problem of freezing bank assets in the country is relatively severe and the concerns to escape from this impasse are serious. Meanwhile, there are factors inside the bank and outside of it that affect the freezing of assets. In this research, the subject of investigating the impact of momentums in macroeconomic and banking variables on asset freezing in selected banks listed on the Tehran stock exchange in the period of 2010 to 2014 has been addressed, and the estimation of the model has been done using the Panel-Var method. At first, the incidence of asset freezing is estimated using the basis components analysis. Finally, the impact of momentums has been investigated and analyzed in macroeconomic variables and banking variables on asset freezing. According to the results obtained from the model estimation, macroeconomic and banking variables have a significant effect on asset freezing at a confidence level of 95%.
