@techreport{oai:ir.ide.go.jp:00038079, author = {Kubo, Koji}, month = {Jan}, note = {application/pdf, IDP000087_001, Foreign currency deposits (FCD) are prevalent in many low-income developing countries, but their impact on bank lending has rarely been examined. An examination of cross-country data indicates that a higher proportion of FCD in total deposits is associated with growth in private credit only in inflationary circumstances (over 24 percent of the annual inflation rate). FCD can lead to a decline in private credit below this threshold level of inflation. Given that FCD exhibit persistence, deregulating them in low-income countries may do more harm than good on financial development in the long term, notably after successful containment of inflation.}, title = {Do Foreign Currency Deposits Promote or Deter Financial Development in Low-Income Countries?
