Aspects of the International Banking Safety Net

G. Johnson and Richard Abrams

No 1983/002, IMF Occasional Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: During the 1970s, international lending by banks came to play a dominant role in the flow of international finance. In the early 1980s, banks have continued to play a major role, but the recent evidence of strains in international banking has raised questions about the prospects for continuity of international intermediation by banks.
