Abstract

International commercial banking is a subset of commercial banking transactions or activities that involve some cross-border element. Three different types of activities can be distinguished. One type of activity involves a loan from a bank in one country to a borrower in some other country; or individuals residing in one country may acquire deposits from a bank in some other country. Within the last decade banks have become important intermediaries in international capital flows; and their loans have increased rapidly relative to direct portfolio flows. The second type of activity occurs when banks with their headquarters in one country sell deposits and buy loans through a branch or subsidiary located in some other country with the transactions denominated in the currency of the country in which these banks are based. The third type of activity occurs when the foreign branches or subsidiaries of banks based in particular countries sell deposits or buy loans denominated in the currencies of the countries in which they are located in competition with host country banks.
