Title: International finance through the lens of BIS statistics: the geography of banks' operations
Abstract: Global banks differ substantially in how they structure their operations across host countries. This feature draws on the BIS international banking statistics to distinguish between "international" bank structures, where positions with counterparties abroad are mainly booked from banks' home offices, and "multinational" structures, where they are booked in affiliates in host countries. It then assesses how differences in these structures shape banks' funding patterns, and what they imply for regulatory oversight and, ultimately, financial stability.
