Description
Summary:In the international transmission of shocks, banks play a specific role. In particular, the liquidity supply of a local banking system may be threatened by the economic condition of its foreign counterparty bank. A possible transmission of shock may be detected by assessing the long-run relationship of macro-economic and financial variables of a foreign counterparty. In order to investigate the long-run equilibrium of Philippine banks’ cross-border liquidity position to selected macro-economic variables of selected Asia-Pacific provider of funds, this study utilizes Johansen Test for Cointegration, followed by Vector Error Correction Model or Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model to further test for any short-run dynamics. Results of this study reveal that long run, as well as short-run relationships among indicators, varies from each counterparty. Hence, there is a need to perform individual surveillance.
