TheIMFsummeduptheDanishbalanceprincipleinthefollowingway:
“Thebalanceprincipleimposesstrictmatchingrulesbetweentheassets(e.g.,mortgageloans)andtheliabilities(e.g.,mortgagebonds)ofmortgagecreditinstitutions.Eachnewloanisinprinciplefundedbytheissuanceofnewmortgagebondsofequalsizeandidenticalcashflowandmaturitycharacteristics.Theproceedsfromthesaleofthebondsarepassedtotheborrowerandsimilarly,interestandprincipalpaymentsarepasseddirectlytoinvestorsholdingmortgagebonds(Figure1)”.
