Abstract: We investigate whether a home country’s culture determines lending behavior of foreign bank subsidiaries in host countries during both prosperous and difficult economic periods. We employ a dataset of foreign-owned banks originating from 46 home countries and operating in 47 host countries during 1996–2018. The results show that, in general, only certain cultural dimensions of the home country influence the foreign bank subsidiaries’ lending. However, this impact strengthens significantly during crises.
