Consolidated worldwide external claims of UK-owned banks
End-September 2006
UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported an increase in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $165.5 billion during Q3 2006, to stand at $3,147.5 billion. This was largely driven by a rise in claims on Developed Countries. Claims on the United States were responsible for a significant proportion of this increase, with claims on Germany and France also contributing. Claims on Offshore Centres and Developing Countries rose as well, with the former being driven by Hong Kong and the latter by China, Taiwan and Dubai.
Developed Countries had net inward risk transfers of $181.7 billion, with the largest to Germany, France and the Netherlands. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $52.3 billion, mostly due to the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Singapore. Developing Countries had net outward risk transfers of $11.4 billion, driven by Mexico, China, South Korea and South Africa.
