Consolidated worldwide external claims of UK-owned banks
End-December 2007
UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported a fall in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $61.3 billion during Q4 2007, to stand at $4,010.6 billion. This was driven by a fall in claims on Developed countries, down $92.2 billion to stand at $2,960.7 billion. The United States accounted for a large proportion of this decrease, together with reduced claims on France and Germany. Claims on Offshore Centres also decreased, down $5.4 billion to $419.5 billion. However, claims on Developing countries rose $41.7 billion to $619.8 billion, with the increase well spread between countries.
Developed countries had net inward risk transfers of $232.7 billion. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $52.9 billion, mostly from Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and Singapore. Developing countries had net outward risk transfers of $15.0 billion, with the largest net outward risk transfers reported from the Republic of Korea and China.
