Global banks and international shock transmission: evidence from the crisis

TLDR
This article examined adverse liquidity shocks on main developed country banking systems and their relationships to emerging markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, isolating loan supply from loan demand effects, and found that loan supply in emerging markets was affected significantly through three separate channels: 1) a contraction in direct, cross-border lending by foreign banks; 2) an increase in local lending by local banks' affiliates in emerging market; and 3) an overall contraction in loan supply by domestic banks, resulting from the funding shock to their balance sheets induced by the decline in interbank, crossborder lending
Abstract
Global banks played a significant role in transmitting the 2007-09 financial crisis to emerging-market economies. We examine adverse liquidity shocks on main developed-country banking systems and their relationships to emerging markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, isolating loan supply from loan demand effects. Loan supply in emerging markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America was affected significantly through three separate channels: 1) a contraction in direct, cross-border lending by foreign banks; 2) a contraction in local lending by foreign banks' affiliates in emerging markets; and 3) a contraction in loan supply by domestic banks, resulting from the funding shock to their balance sheets induced by the decline in interbank, cross-border lending. Policy interventions, such as the Vienna Initiative introduced in Europe, influenced the lending-channel effects on emerging markets of shocks to head-office balance sheets.
