Abstract
This paper examines whether global banks’ liquidity reallocations via internal capital markets are driven by the locational activity patterns of their foreign branches. Using aggregated data of foreign branches of US global banks located in 52 countries, we advance evidence of a picking order that favors locations where branches are more heavily engaged in lending activities. Specifically, we find that internal liquidity support to branches in host countries with prominent local lending activities is especially significant during a contraction in local deposits.
In jurisdictions where branches have higher shares of market-based activities and off-balance sheet exposures, we do not observe a significant increase in internal liquidity support following local funding contractions.
