| Summary |
Banks have recently played a prominent role in the unfolding of business cycles in emerging markets. In the early 1990s, brisk economic growth and exchange rate stability in most of Asia and Latin America were associated with unparalelled credit bonanza, declining intermediation spreads, and a large build-up of bank debt. Conversely, as the large devaluations and interest rate shocks of end-1994/early 1995 in Latin America and of 1997-98 in Asia eroded banks' deposit base and led to a sharp rise in non-performing loans, domestic credit came to a halt, helping intensify and prolong the recession well beyond what appeared to be warranted by the initial monetary tightening2 In both occasions, the ensuing output losses and bank solvency problems in the countries affected proved to be far more severe than those observed during previous financial crises in industrial economies. 3 |
