Overview: The authors analyze recent trends in both the direct and indirect risks associated with the international lending activities of U.S. banks. Foreign lending risk therefore has at least two components, direct and indirect, and to identify the true magnitude of the exposure, one cannot take a piece-meal approach. This article examines recent trends in both the direct and the indirect risks associated with the international lending activities of U.S. banks. The first section defines the components of foreign lending and surveys trends since 1982 in loan volume, risk exposure, and lending organizations; trends in foreign lending claims, by borrower and by maturity; and trends in the direction of foreign lending. The next section looks at secondary, or indirect risk, and the international trading relationships of the United States and of the countries to which U.S. banks have extended the largest dollar amounts of loans. The final part summarizes the data presented and draws conclusions about risks to U.S. foreign lenders in the near future.
