The analysis is based on the study of default risk codependence, or CoRisk, between Chilean banks and global financial institutions. The results suggest that the impact of the global financial crisis was limited, inducing at most a one-rating downgrade to banks operating in Chile. The paper concludes by assessing government measures aimed at reducing systemic risk in the domestic banking sector and the recommendations to allocate SWF assets to domestic banks UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/10885-9781455200672/10885-9781455200672/10885-9781455200672.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781455200672 ER -
