International finance through the lens of BIS statistics: bank exposures and country risk

Bryan Hardy, Patrick McGuire and Goetz von Peter (goetz.von.peter@bis.org)

BIS Quarterly Review, 2024

Abstract: The BIS consolidated banking statistics (CBS) are one of the few data sets to provide banks' consolidated exposures to individual countries. The consolidated perspective shifts the focus from where banking activity takes place to who drives this activity and bears the risks. Originating after the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, the CBS provide the most comprehensive measures of banks' consolidated exposures to countries and sectors. They have helped policymakers, market participants and researchers understand bank exposures, country risk, and how financial stresses spill over from one country to another.
