The findings in the paper imply that the rise of non-banks could increase the importance of transaction-based lenders and exacerbate the repercussions of financial shocks

aldasoro.bsky.social
Relationships with non-banks are less valuable in general and do not improve borrowers’ access to credit during crises. Non-banks are also less likely to form lasting relationships with borrowers.

aldasoro.bsky.social
With a global sample we show that non-banks curtail their syndicated lending by significantly more than banks during financial crises in borrower countries. Differences in the value of lending relationships explain most of the gap.
