Abstract

Several important policy questions raised by the drop in trade finance during the global financial crisis remain unsettled due to the lack of hard data on trade finance. This paper provides fresh empirical evidence on the determinants of bank-intermediated trade finance using a novel panel data set. Results indicate that trade finance is driven by demandside factors, such as a country's trade flows growth, and global import growth. In addition, trade finance is dependent on funding availability for domestic banks, as well as global financial conditions and dollar funding costs. These results are robust to different model specifications.
