Foreign institutional ownership and cross-border lending
We study the role of foreign institutional investors in cross-border lending. We find that a borrower’s foreign institutional ownership is positively associated with the likelihood of foreign banks leading a loan syndicate. This relation is stronger among borrowers with more opaque information environment and when foreign institutional shareholders have better access to soft information. We also find that foreign banks are more likely to extend loans to borrowers with foreign institutional shareholders that are headquartered in the same country or members of the same loan associations. These results are consistent with foreign institutional shareholders facilitating cross-border lending by reducing monitoring costs and information frictions faced by foreign lenders
Tetraaquabis(3,5-di-4-pyridyl-1H-1,2,4-triazolido)cadmium(II) dihydrate
In the title compound, [Cd(C12H8N5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, the CdII atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by the two N atoms [Cd—N = 2.278 (2) Å] and four O atoms [Cd—O = 2.304 (2)–2.322 (2) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. Intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework
