Event Summary
Financial linkages between national banking systems and their respective governments vary widely over time and across historical and institutional contexts. They are particularly consequential in developing and emerging economies, where local banks dominate financial intermediation and also often dominate holdings of domestic government bonds. This session of the event series Financial Statements takes stock of recent trends and related financial stability risks.
