This paper investigates regional bank participation in international syndicated loans, which attract significant attention from the banking industry. This topic has a remarkable importance for regional banks because overseas activities are related to their growth strategies. We pose two questions to illustrate the internationalization of regional banks. The first question explores differences in loan transactions between the first internationalization during 1992-1997 and the second internationalization during 2009-2014. The second question seeks to identify the types of loan transactions preferred by regional banks. We answer these questions by using a comparative analysis and Probit analysis of 23,387 transaction data. Activities of regional banks in the first period overwhelm that of the second period. The first internationalization was characterized by a broad base of participant banks. Estimation results demonstrated similarities in the lending behavior of regional banks between the two periods. Smaller loan amounts, larger syndicates, and loan purposes for ordinary business facilitate regional bank participation in syndicated loans. These preferences reflect limited risk-taking capability and a weaker screening technique by regional banks. We also observe differences in currency denomination, and the Japanese yen increases its presence in the second period.

Participation of Japanese regional Banks in International Syndicated LoansMasaki Yamaguchi
The recent internationalization trend among Japanese regional banks is a topic of interest for researchers in the context of regional bank growth strategy. This paper examines the factors that explain the lending behavior of regional banks in the international syndicated loan market during the period from 2009 to 2014. Through a comparative analysis and probit model using data from 10,717 transactions, it is found that regional banks prefer to participate in syndicated loans of lower amounts. The denomination of loans in Japanese yen is the most important factor in increasing the probability that regional banks will participate in these loans. The second most important consideration in explaining the lending behavior of regional banks relates to the characteristics of the borrowers. Regional banks prefer Asian borrowers that are in the financial services industry. Risk-taking and funding capacities can explain the characteristics of regional banks.

Etude PwC sur les fusions-acquisitions en Chine (2013)PwC France
http://pwc.to/XoaDIh
La conjonction des incertitudes sur l’économie mondiale et de problèmatiques internes à la Chine ont entraîné une baisse des investissements en Chine. Ceux-ci ont atteint en 2012 leur plus bas niveau depuis cinq ans, avec un repli encore plus marqué qu’au lendemain de la crise financière de 2009. Ainsi, les fusions-acquisitions réalisées en Chine ont reculé de 23% en volume et de 28 % en valeur sur l’année 2012. En revanche, le montant des investissements chinois à l’étranger a augmenté de 54% en 2012 par rapport à 2011 pour s’établir à un niveau record de 65.2 milliards de dollars.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

2. Motivation
• Hot issue – international syndicated loans
• Gunma Bank – 10 billion yen buildup by the end of FY2013
• Hyakugo Bank – 55 billion yen buildup by the end of FY2015
• Chiba Bank – 20% increase of foreign currency loans by the end of FY2017
• Growth strategies of regional banks
• Loan demand cannot be expected to increase amid fierce competition in
shrinking regional economies
• Participation in syndicated loans could serve as a new source of profits for
regional banks
