UK-owned banks and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported a decrease in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $213.9 billion during Q2 2008, to stand at $4,217.1 billion.

Developed countries had net inward risk transfers of $166.2 billion, with the largest to Germany, France, Netherlands and Switzerland.
