LEAP 5: COVID-19, Nonperforming Loans, and Cross-border Bank Lending

In the fifth LEAP series, ERCI Director Cyn-Young Park discussed how international banks respond to a rise of their own non-performing loans and those of emerging market borrowers; and how these reactions change depending on their perceived risk exposures and risk management practices (such as the share of US dollars in their balance sheet liabilities).

James Villafuerte of SERC moderated the discussion.
