UK-owned banks and building societies and their branches and subsidiaries worldwide reported an increase in consolidated foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis of $9.4 billion during Q3 2009, to stand at $3,742.8 billion. The largest increase was in claims on Developing Countries, up $35.7 billion to stand at $622.3 billion. This was largely driven by an increase in claims on Brazil, China, Republic of Korea and India. Claims on Offshore Centres also rose, up by $12.8 billion to stand at $472.5 billion. Claims on Developed Countries fell, down by $39.8 billion to $2,630.4 billion, driven by a decrease in claims on the United States.

Developed Countries had net inward risk transfers of $69.9 billion, with the largest to Japan, Germany and France. Offshore Centres had net outward risk transfers of $33.6 billion, mostly from Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and Jersey. Developing Countries had net outward risk transfers of $5.1 billion, with the largest net outward risk transfers reported on Chile, Russia and Indonesia.
