The accelerating growth in international credit during this period enabled — both directly and indirectly — credit booms in many borrower countries, advanced economies and EMEs alike. Banks' direct cross-border credit to non-banks grew at a much faster clip in the run-up to the GFC than did local bank credit Graph 8 , left-hand panel CGFS Banks also lent cross-border to local banks that then channelled the funds to resident non-bank borrowers.
This indirect channel allows credit growth to outrun domestic deposit growth. As cases in point, direct and indirect cross-border credit to non-banks in Hungary and the Baltic states grew rapidly in the years preceding the GFC, and by accounted for more than half of the outstanding bank credit in those countries centre panel. The development of collateralised debt obligations and credit derivatives linked to them enabled European banks to participate in the US housing boom in the mids even in the absence of any US mortgage origination business.
Their dollar assets increased more quickly than their dollar liabilities, leaving them with a large funding gap — an excess of dollar assets over dollar liabilities — that is typically hedged through FX swaps Graph 8 , right-hand panel, shaded area. The bursting of the US house price bubble in and the seizing-up of dollar funding markets following the collapse of Lehman Brothers compelled banks to deleverage, which pushed the growth in international claims far into negative territory in Graph 6 , top panel.
Following the GFC, the growth in international banking has been subdued. After suffering big losses, European banks shrank their balance sheets by retreating from international markets. At the same time, the Canadian, Chinese, Japanese and several smaller banking systems have expanded their global reach. Nevertheless, since banks' international claims have not kept pace with global economic activity Graph 1 , left-hand panel. International banking has been constrained in part by the post-GFC reforms in bank regulation, which raised banks' risk-based capital requirements, tightened leverage limits, and placed controls on the mix of funding instruments to contain liquidity risk.
These measures have increased banks' shock-absorbing capacity but have also raised the cost of balance sheet space Borio et al In banks' place, non-bank creditors have stepped in. Non-bank borrowers have increasingly turned to bond markets for foreign currency funding instead of banks, giving a more prominent role to asset managers and other non-bank financial institutions as suppliers of credit McCauley et al Policymakers responded to the challenges posed by international banking in three ways.
First, they shone a spotlight on them. International banking has been a regular topic of discussion at BIS meetings, notably at the Eurocurrency Standing Committee established in later renamed the Committee on the Global Financial System.
Discussions in the s and s focused on the implications for monetary stability, while later ones turned to financial stability. The second response was to strengthen international supervisory and regulatory standards for banks. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, formed in , promoted consolidated supervision of banks' worldwide operations and, following the crisis, agreed on a framework for minimum capital adequacy.
The framework has been expanded and revised over the years, most recently following the GFC, when Basel III not only tightened capital constraints but also provided for tightening them further in a boom. The third response was to set up central bank swap lines to backstop funding liquidity during periods of turmoil. Already in the s, central banks had coordinated injections of dollar funding to reduce strains in offshore markets McCauley and Schenk These operations anticipated the use of central bank swap lines during the GFC and the Covid crisis to alleviate pressures arising from non-US banks' short-term dollar funding needs Aldasoro et al The shift to non-bank finance in recent years brings its own challenges, but the responses under discussion are similar in form: more transparency about non-bank finance, revised regulation and liquidity backstops FSB While today banks are perceived as a source of strength for the financial system, past episodes of turmoil demonstrate how the troubles of non-bank financial institutions can spill over to banks in unforeseen ways.
The BIS, in cooperation with central banks, started to collect statistics about international banking in The locational banking statistics LBS provide information about the geographical and currency composition of banks' assets and liabilities, including their intragroup business.
The consolidated banking statistics CBS measure banks' country risk exposures on a worldwide consolidated basis. Both sets have been enhanced over the decades, often following financial crises BIS This feature also uses less-complete LBS published prior to Data collected starting in capture only cross-border claims in currencies other than the domestic currency of the reporting country.
From end, the data were expanded to cover cross-border claims in all currencies. The next major expansion occurred at end, when the United States and Singapore became reporting countries. From end, local claims in foreign currencies were added, allowing the calculation of international claims.
Since then, the number of reporting countries has expanded to 48, including the addition of Caribbean and Asian financial centres from end and many EMEs since This complicates the decomposition of international banking into the three segments explained in Box A and shown in Graph 1. The segments were estimated as follows:.
Aliber, R : "The integration of the offshore and domestic banking system", Journal of Monetary Economics , vol 6, issue 4, pp — Bank for International Settlements : 34th Annual Report. Kindleberger, C : "The formation of financial centers: a study in comparative economic history", Princeton Studies in International Finance , no Schenk, C : "The origins of the eurodollar market in London: —", Explorations in Economic History , vol 35, pp — Another is FX swaps, which are a key funding tool although their principal value does not appear on-balance sheet Borio et al Comparable data are not available for earlier years.
