We examine this question using the cross-country data on the use of formal savings from the Global Findex and the bank deposit growth from the International Financial Statistics. We run a cross-country regression using the averages over the 2007–10 period while controlling for relevant covariates such as the average level of development and existence of deposit insurance. We further condition on the access to deposits by firms using the Enterprise Survey data. The experience from the global financial crisis suggests that when a greater share of people use formal saving products, the country’s banking system enjoys more stable deposit funding. 2017-01-11T20:47:31Z 2017-01-11T20:47:31Z 2017-03 Journal Article Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money 1042-4431 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/25838 en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Elsevier Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research
