External loans and deposits of reporting banks vis-à-vis all sectors (% of domestic bank deposits)

This indicator provides a comprehensive view of the extent to which reporting banks engage in external lending and deposit activities relative to their total domestic bank deposit base. Derived from the BIS Statistical Appendix and International Financial Statistics, it focuses on end-of-year data to capture the financial positioning of banks in a global context. By analyzing the proportion of external loans and deposits, policymakers and analysts gain insights into the financial interconnectivity of domestic banks with international markets, revealing potential vulnerabilities or strengths in their balance sheets. A higher percentage may indicate increased reliance on foreign financing, while a lower percentage might suggest greater domestic stability and self-sufficiency within the banking sector. Source:
