Global Banks and Their Internal Capital Markets during the Crisis

Nicola Cetorelli and Linda Goldberg

No 20110711, Liberty Street Economics from Federal Reserve Bank of New York

Abstract: As financial markets have become increasingly globalized, banks have developed growing networks of branches and subsidiaries in foreign countries. This expansion of banking across borders is changing the way banks manage their balance sheets, and the ways home markets and foreign markets respond to disturbances to financial markets. Based on our recent research, this post shows how global banks used their foreign affiliates for accessing scarce dollars during the financial crisis—a liquidity strategy that helped transmit shocks internationally while reducing some of the consequences in the stressed locations.
