The year-on-year growth rate dropped from 10% at end-March to 5% at end-June 2020. Interbank claims, which had surged in the first quarter, fell sharply, driving the overall contraction. Cross-border claims on emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) fell year on year for the first time since 2016, mainly driven by a $43 billion contraction in claims on Latin America and the Caribbean. Banks have continued to rebalance their portfolios into government assets. Their consolidated foreign claims on the official sector globally rose to 29% of their total foreign claims in Q2 2020, up from 19% at end-2010.
