Overview

The unprecedented collapse of international interbank borrowing was a prominent feature of the global financial crisis that started in August 2007. This paper focuses on the drivers of the retrenchment from 32 advanced and emerging banking systems.

The empirical findings suggest that both domestic and international risk factors contributed to the decline in international interbank borrowing during the crisis.
