Abstract

New technologies have made available a vast amount of new data in the form of text, recording an exponentially increasing share of human and corporate behavior. For financial supervisors, the information encoded in text is a valuable complement to the more traditional balance sheet data typically used to track the soundness of financial institutions. In this study, we exploit several natural language processing (NLP) techniques as well as network analysis to detect anomalies in the Spanish corporate system, identifying both idiosyncratic and systemic risks. We use sentiment analysis at the corporate level to detect sentiment anomalies for specific corporations (idiosyncratic risks), while employing a wide range of network metrics to monitor systemic risks. In the realm of supervisory technology (SupTech), anomaly detection in sentiment analysis serves as a proactive tool for financial authorities. By continuously monitoring sentiment trends, SupTech applications can provide early warnings of potential financial distress or systemic risks.
