Cross-Border Bank Lending During the Taper Tantrum: The Role of Emerging Market Fundamentals

Cross-border bank lending to emerging markets slowed sharply during the taper tantrum. The abruptness of this slowdown varied considerably across both lenders and borrowers.

Although the initial tapering shock originated from advanced economies, EME-specific factors explain the bulk of the variation in the slowdown across lender-borrower pairs.
