1 DELEVERAGING AND CREDIT MONITOR October 12, 217 Key developments in BIS Banks External Positions and Domestic Credit Adjusting for one-off factors, the external position of BIS reporting banks in Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe () has improved somewhat in the first half of this year. The improvement in the external positions is corroborated by BOP data. Foreign bank funding for the region as a whole has improved, despite reductions in foreign funding for some countries. Outside the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), credit accelerated, with the credit to the household sector recovering firmly in almost all the countries. After accounting for one-off factors, the external position of BIS reporting banks in has broadly stabilized in 217H1. Following a prolonged period of deleveraging, external positions of BIS reporting banks stabilized towards the end of 216 (Figure 1). Accounting for one-off factors, which were mainly driven by the rapid increase in exposure to the Czech banks in 217Q1 (Figure 3) associated with the removal of the exchange rate floor by the Czech National bank, external positions have improved somewhat in the first half of this year (Figure 2, Table 1). 1 Accordingly, the stock of BIS reporting banks external positions for the region as a whole has remained broadly stable since end-216 and is now about 11 percent of GDP below its peak (16 percent excluding and, Figure 2). Notwithstanding reductions in foreign bank funding in some countries, foreign bank funding for the region as a whole has improved in 217H1 (Figure 3, Table 1). Compared to 216, the overall foreign bank funding to (in percent of GDP) improved in 217H1. This reflects an increase in foreign bank funding in a number of countries (,, the,,, Macedonia,, and ) which have compensated for the decline of foreign funding in some countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina,,,, Slovakia,, and ). The changes in foreign bank funding were mostly driven by claims on banks, but the role of foreign funding directed to non-financial sector increased (Figure 4, Table 2). Compared to 216, reductions in claims on banks were recorded in,,, Macedonia,,,, Slovakia,,, and, while increases were recorded in, Bosnia and Herzegovina,, 1 The large increase of the exposure to the is likely associated with the expected exit from the koruna floor by the Czech National Bank in early April 217.

2 2 the,,,, and. Compared to 216, the role of foreign funding directed to non-financial sector increased, driven by higher exposure to nonfinancial sectors in the,,,,,, and. The balance of payments (BoP) data suggest similar movements in 217H1 to external positions based on BIS data (Figure a&b). After divergence in 216, BoP data were broadly consistent with BIS data for the region in 217H1, although there were differences for some of the countries. 2 BoP data suggest notably larger inflows into Slovakia,,,, and, while outflows were larger than implied by BIS data in and. Similar to external positions, foreign claims of BIS banks on appear to have recovered somewhat in the first half of this year (Figures 6&7). Foreign claims, which include cross-border claims and total local claims of foreign banks affiliates, have generally traced developments in external positions and stabilized since 2Q1, with a considerable decline in 216H2, and recovery in 217Q1. Credit developments suggest a firm recovery. Total credit to the private sector as well as non-financial corporations continued to recover, both in and excluding CIS and (Figure 8). In June 217, outside the CIS credit contracted only in and, while credit growth reached robust levels in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina,,, and. However, lending to non-financial corporations remains relatively subdued in several countries (Figure 9). banks continue to experience robust deposit growth, while gradually reducing their loan to deposit ratios. Domestic deposit growth (year on year) remained strong in the vast majority of countries in 217H1, balancing the decline in parent bank funding and raising overall bank funding (Figures 1). This helped the average loan-todeposit ratio for the whole region decline further, reaching around 1 percent level in June Data referred here are other investment liabilities in BoP (include investments other than FDI, portfolio investment, and financial derivatives, which includes loans and deposits, trade credit, etc.). They correspond more closely in terms of coverage to BIS-reporting banks external claims based on locational banking statistics., Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia,,,, and are on net basis, and others are on gross basis. In general, such BoP statistics do not report flows by external creditors so direct comparison with the BIS statistics is difficult in terms of the source of reduction by creditors
