Our analysis adds to the burgeoning literature on the usefulness of FSIs. The analysis is thefirst to make use of a data set of FSIs collected under an internationally acceptedmethodology. Consistent accounting, aggregation and consolidation principles allow crosscountrycomparability of FSIs, and a coherent consolidation basis methodology ensures thatindicators are sensitive to financial sector risk exposure both within and beyond eachcountry’s economic territory.By estimating a simple multivariate logit model on FSI indicators and macroeconomiccontrol variables, the paper demonstrates that FSIs are contemporaneously correlated withthe occurrence of banking crises. Specifically, CAR and ROE show a negative correlationwith crisis episodes across a number of model specifications. The analysis also indicates that
