This document summarizes international banking positions as reported by BIS member banks.
1. Total assets of reporting banks were $33.9 trillion as of December 2010, up slightly from 2009 but still below pre-crisis levels. Claims on banks made up the majority at around $21 trillion, while claims on non-banks were $13 trillion.
2. External assets of reporting banks, which exclude internal claims between offices of the same institutions, were $30.1 trillion as of December 2010. Around two-thirds of external assets were claims on banks, while one-third were claims on non-banks.
3. Loans and deposits, the largest component of external assets, total

BIS Quarterly Review, September 2011 A3
4. Introduction to the BIS locational and consolidated international banking
statistics
The BIS collects and disseminates two different sets of international banking data, both based on
information provided by banks. The first set of data is known as the locational statistics and is
presented in Annex Tables 1–8B. These statistics were originally introduced in 1964 to monitor the
development of eurocurrency markets, although in practice comprehensive locational data are only
available from 1977. The second set, known as the consolidated statistics, is shown in Annex
Tables 9A–9D. They were launched in a comprehensive form in 1983 following the onset of the
Mexican debt crisis, with the main purpose of monitoring industrial country banks’ exposure to
developing countries. Once differences in reporting regimes are taken into account, the two sets of
data may be used to complement one another in economic analysis. The basic characteristics of
the two data sets are summarised in the table below.
The locational reporting system collects quarterly data on the gross international financial
claims and liabilities of banks resident in a given country. The main purpose of the statistics is to
provide information on the role of banks and financial centres in the intermediation of international
capital flows. The reporting system is currently comprised of 43 countries (see the table overleaf).
The key organisational criteria are the country of residence of the reporting banks and their
counterparties as well as the recording of all positions on a gross basis, including those vis-à-vis
own affiliates. This methodology is consistent with the principles underlying the compilation of
national accounts, balances of payments and external debt statistics. The currency detail supplied
by the reporting countries allows the approximation of capital flows, adjusted for exchange rate
fluctuations.
The consolidated banking statistics report banks’ on-balance sheet financial claims (ie
contractual lending) vis-à-vis the rest of the world and provide a measure of the risk exposures of
lenders’ national banking systems. The data cover contractual (immediate borrower) and ultimate
risk lending by the head office and all its branches and subsidiaries on a worldwide consolidated
basis, net of inter-office accounts. Reporting of lending in this way allows the allocation of claims to
the bank entity that would bear the losses as a result of default by borrowers. The consolidated
statistics also provide information on the maturity (ie liquidity) and sector risk distribution of banks’
contractual lending. Furthermore, to reflect the fact that banks’ country risk exposure can differ
substantially from that of contractual lending due to the use of risk mitigants such as guarantees
and collateral, reporting countries provide information on claims on an ultimate risk basis (ie

reporting banks’ foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis, and information about derivatives, credit
commitments and guarantees are provided as of 2005 Q1. The consolidated statistics became
available on a quarterly basis in March 2000; previously, the statistics were collected semiannually.
There are currently 30 countries reporting these data (see the table below).
Because more countries contribute to the locational bank lending data, one would expect the
measure of outstanding debt as reported by the locational data to exceed that of the consolidated
data. However, the reporting of worldwide positions in the consolidated data tends to compensate
for this. While the locational statistics are appropriate for measuring lending flows in a given period,
the consolidated statistics are more suited to gauging the size of banks’ country and liquidity risk
exposures. The detailed maturity and sector breakdowns of the consolidated statistics can be used
to supplement the locational data.
