This paper updates the widely used IMF database on systemic banking crises by Laeven and Valencia (2008). It adds new information on recent and ongoing crises, including updated policy responses and outcomes such as fiscal costs, output losses, and increases in public debt. The database covers all systemic banking, currency, and sovereign debt crises from 1970 to 2011. The analysis reveals striking differences in policy responses between advanced and emerging economies, with more extensive use of monetary and fiscal policies in advanced economies. Advanced economies also tend to experience larger output losses and increases in public debt compared to emerging and developing countries. The paper identifies 147 banking crises, 218 currency crises, and 66 sovereign debt crises during this period. It also provides detailed statistics on the frequency, timing, and outcomes of these crises, highlighting the impact of macroeconomic policies and the role of financial sector interventions. The findings suggest that the recent wave of crises has affected both advanced and emerging economies, raising questions about the resilience of financial systems and the effectiveness of policy responses.This paper updates the widely used IMF database on systemic banking crises by Laeven and Valencia (2008).
