Official lending spikes in times of global turmoil, such as wars, financial crises or natural disasters. Indeed, in these periods, official capital flows have repeatedly surpassed total private capital flows in the past two centuries. Wars, in particular, were accompanied by large surges in the volume of official cross-border lending. 2020 Level: mittel Coping with disasters: Lessons from two centuries of international response Sebastian Horn, Carmen Reinhart, Christoph Trebesch VOX CEPR Policy Portal "Bank Underground" is the staff blog of the Bank of England, founded to publish the views and insights of the people working for one of the world's oldest central banks.
