Abstract

Cross-currency swaps are one of the major US dollar funding tools for non-US banks. While their developments have attracted international attention, data for gauging transaction details are limited since these swaps are over-the-counter transactions, not trades on an exchange. This report provides an overview of the Japan's cross-currency swap market with over-the-counter derivative transaction data collected in Japan. Then it briefly reviews the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on these transactions around the spring of 2020. A data analysis indicates that major banks continued transactions as a market maker by breaking trades into smaller blocks and diversifying the counterparties, while smaller banks who do not actively engage in normal times were found to have participated in trading.
