BIS: Sovereign Risk And Bank Lending: Evidence From 1999 Turkish Earthquake

Date 26/04/2023

Summary

Focus

Banks are important providers of credit to both non-financial borrowers and governments. Lending to their own sovereigns increases their exposure to sovereign risk. An increase in sovereign risk directly affects bank balance sheets when they hold sovereign debt. The decline in asset value reduces bank net worth, which can then constrain bank borrowing and lending. The surge in government borrowing across both advanced and emerging markets, spurred by the Covid-19 crisis, has reignited these concerns. Recent turmoil in the banking sector further underscores the potential impact of valuation losses from sovereign securities.
