Consolidated worldwide external claims of UK-owned banks
End-June 2006
UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported an increase in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $97.1 billion during Q2 2006, to stand at $2,982.1 billion. This was largely due to a rise in claims on Developed Countries, driven by Japan, the United States, France and Luxembourg. Claims on Offshore Centres and Developing Countries also increased, with the former being driven by Guernsey, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Isle of Man, and the latter by the People’s Republic of China.
Developed Countries had net inward risk transfers of $168.0 billion, with the largest to Germany, France and Switzerland. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $49.3 billion, mostly due to the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Singapore. Developing Countries had net outward risk transfers of $10.7 billion, driven by Mexico, Indonesia, the People’s Republic of China and Liberia.
