Cross-border banking contracted sharply in the second quarter of this year, according to the Bank for International Settlements' (BIS) latest international banking statistics, published on October 21.

Cross-border claims on advanced economies fell by $918 billion between March and June, which an increase of $45 billion in claims on emerging markets did little to offset. Despite the quarterly rise, compared with a year ago, credit to emerging markets is down by 1%.

Striking turnaround
