Abstract
This study investigates the role of nonresident bank loans in economic activity. Analyses are conducted with GMM dynamic panel data techniques. The results show that nonresident bank loans have a statistically significant negative effect on economic activity. This finding is robust when controlling for banking sector development and stock market development indicators. The findings also show that while the stock market development indicator has a statistically significant positive effect on real per capita GDP, the banking sector development indicator has a statistically significant negative effect on economic activity, which may be explained by high amounts of debt and nonperforming loans in the sample countries. Results further show that inflation has a statistically significant negative effect on economic activity in all models.
