Consolidated worldwide external claims of UK-owned banks
End-December 2005
UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported a decrease in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $117.3 billion during Q4 2005, to stand at $2,566.3 billion. This was largely accounted for by a fall in claims of $107.1 billion on Developed Countries, with the largest falls reported against Germany and the Netherlands. Foreign claims on Offshore Centres and Developing Countries fell slightly, the former being partly due to a decrease vis-à-vis the Cayman Islands while the latter was more than accounted for by decreases reported against Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China.
Developed Countries had net inward risk transfers of $148.7 billion, with the largest to Germany and France. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $41.8 billion, driven by the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Singapore. Developing Countries had net outward risk transfers of $9.5 billion spread over many Developing Countries, the largest transfers being reported against Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey, China and Iran.
