Abstract

This study is the first to comprehensively investigates the stock market repercussions of the SVB collapse for a sample of 528 individual bank stocks across 35 countries. Using event-study methodology, we find that the resilience of banks during the SVB collapse is intricately linked to their capital adequacy and liquidity. Specifically, banks exhibiting higher capital adequacy and greater liquidity mitigate losses during the SVB collapse, while controlling for bank-level and country-level variables. Further, we find that emerging markets banks exhibited significantly lower stock price declines upon announcement of the SVB failure than their counterparts in developed countries, indicating higher resilience to crisis for banks in emerging markets. This study offers a further understanding of the importance of capital adequacy and liquidity in shaping banks’ resilience to banking sector crises, such as the SVB collapse, and provides implications for policymakers seeking to enact policies designed to reduce bank vulnerability to external shocks.

期刊介绍： International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
