Consolidated worldwide external claims of UK-owned banks
End-March 2007
UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported an increase in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $328.3 billion during Q1 2007, to stand at $3,556.6 billion. This was largely driven by a rise in claims on Developed Countries. The United States was responsible for a significant proportion of this increase, with claims on France, Germany and Ireland also contributing. Claims on Offshore Centres remained at a similar level to the previous quarter, while claims on Developing Countries rose by $34.9 billion to stand at $469.4 billion.
Developed Countries had net inward risk transfers of $221.5 billion, with the largest to Germany, the Netherlands and France. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $58.9 billion, mostly due to Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and Singapore. Developing Countries had net outward risk transfers of $8.7 billion, with sizeable net outward risk transfers reported on the Republic of Korea, Mexico and South Africa.
