In the late 2000s, demand deposits from foreign countries increased rapidly in the United States. Why did amounts of US demand deposits from abroad increase so rapidly? What is the relation between the global financial crisis and the rapid increase in demand deposits from foreign countries? Few studies have emphasized studies of demand deposits from abroad. Therefore we specifically examine the US dollar holdings of foreign financial institutions. This study was conducted to respond to the following questions: how US dollar holdings are determined by foreign financial institutions and why they have risen so rapidly. The analysis identified the following factors. (1) When financial markets tighten because of some crisis, demand for the US dollar as an international currency increases. (2) An increase in global trade volumes will raise demand for the US dollar. (3) If interest rates in the USrise, demand for US dollars from foreign countries can be expected to decrease. (4) A stronger US dollar will increase demand for the US dollar. (5) Foreign commercial banks and foreign official institutions have different effects on US demand deposits from foreign countries. As discussed above, US demand deposits from foreign countries increase because of multiple factors such as high global trade volume, low interest rates, a strong US dollar, and the financial crisis.
