<\/a> Credit to non-financial EM businesses is going through the roof: <\/b>Borrowing by non-financial emerging market businesses has rapidly increased since 2008, according toresearch by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS)<\/a>. The bank\u2019s quarterly review says that the banking sector continues to be the main source of credit \u2014 supplying 77% of the total in 2Q2018 \u2014 but non-banking lenders are expanding their role, increasing credit by an average 4.5% each year.<\/p>\n

Non-financial businesses in EMs are becoming less reliant on foreign lenders for credit:<\/b> Foreign bank credit to EM businesses has fallen to 19% in 2Q2018, from 28% of the total in 3Q2008. BIS says that stagnation in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and increasing credit from local banks and non-banking lenders have contributed to the decline.<\/p>\n

And this may be a good thing: <\/b>\u201cExcessive reliance [on foreign credit] can make EMEs vulnerable to foreign developments, with negative events leading to a contraction in credit and positive events fuelling a domestic credit boom that could potentially result in financial stress as it turns to bust,\u201d the BIS says.<\/p>\n

Having said that\u2026 <\/b>The concentration of foreign entities lending to EM businesses has increased since the financial crisis, which has raised EM exposure to individual banking systems. Non-financial EM businesses source 70-80% of their overseas credit from just three foreign banking systems, while top ranked creditors provide 40% of the total foreign credit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
