Interpreting Turbulent Episodes in International Finance
November 03, 2025 — Hélène Rey, Lord Bagri Professor of Economics at the London Business School, examines the anatomy of the international portfolio finance network. With her co-author Vania Savrakeva, Assistant Professor of Economics at London Business School, they construct a high frequency proxy of changes in holdings of equity and long-term government bonds for more than 30 countries around the world using market prices and data on cross-country asset holdings. They find there is growing multipolarity in the international finance equity network beyond the USD, with important gross borrowing from the EUR and GBP. There is also a deepening in cross-border capital markets particularly for equity liabilities. Lastly, that the US and Euro area have shifted over time from being net equity creditors to net equity borrowers. Overall, the framework should be used to understand salient episodes of market turbulence and how present shocks, such as tariff policies, will change the international financial structure.
