(RP 105) Cross-border Interbank Contagion Risk Analysis

Publish Date: : May 2019
Author:: Roman Matousek

Summary


A number of recent empirical studies by central banks and the academic literature have focused on the impact of the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) and on the systemic stability of the financial system as a whole. The complex financial cross-border interbank linkages conceal possible idiosyncratic shocks that may cause spillovers to other financial systems. It is imperative that financial regulators deploy models that allow them to monitor not only the soundness of SIBs but also the potential contagion risk caused by cross-country interbank linkages in Asian emerging market economies (AEME).

This collaborative research project on “Cross-border Interbank Contagion Risk Analysis” investigates cross-border interbank claims and liabilities of the individual countries located in the Asia-Pacific region. The study contributes to current research cross-border interbank contagion risk in the following ways: Firstly, this is the first study that is exclusively focused on Asian-Pacific countries, while taking into consideration the effect of the most developed economies and key financial centres. Secondly, the applied visual network analysis allows us to capture the flows of funds and highlight the financial linkages across the analyzed countries.
