 Analysis of connectivity between the world’s banking markets: The COVID-19 global pandemic shockBenjamin Tabak, Igor Bettanin Dalla Riva e Silva and Thiago Silva () The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, 2022, vol. 84, issue C, 324-336 Abstract: We contribute to the literature on financial networks by presenting empirical evidence that the global shock of the COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the forms and intensity of banking sector connections between different countries. These changes include providing the highest level of connectivity observed in the timeline initiated in 2005. We used a comprehensive set of information containing data from 35 countries (developed and emerging economies) and showed the change in the classification of transmitting and receiving spillover during the COVID-19 crisis. Our results provide relevant insights into systemic integration between countries’ banking markets, especially during difficult times. Our results are significant to Central Banks, banking sector investors, and governments seeking assistance from banks in the solutions for the resumption of the economy in the face of the COVID-19 shock.
