4 Introduction to the BIS locational and consolidated international banking statistics The BIS collects and disseminates two different sets of international banking data, both based on information provided by banks. The first set of data is known as the locational statistics and is presented in Annex Tables 1 8B. These statistics were originally introduced in 1964 to monitor the development of eurocurrency markets, although in practice comprehensive locational data are only available from The second set, known as the consolidated statistics, is shown in Annex Tables 9A 9D. They were launched in a comprehensive form in 1983 following the onset of the Mexican debt crisis, with the main purpose of monitoring industrial country banks exposure to developing countries. Once differences in reporting regimes are taken into account, the two sets of data may be used to complement one another in economic analysis. The basic characteristics of the two data sets are summarised in the table below. The locational reporting system collects quarterly data on the gross international financial claims and liabilities of banks resident in a given country. The main purpose of the statistics is to provide information on the role of banks and financial centres in the intermediation of international capital flows. The reporting system is currently comprised of 43 countries (see the table overleaf). The key organisational criteria are the country of residence of the reporting banks and their counterparties as well as the recording of all positions on a gross basis, including those vis-à-vis own affiliates. This methodology is consistent with the principles underlying the compilation of national accounts, balances of payments and external debt statistics. The currency detail supplied by the reporting countries allows the approximation of capital flows, adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated banking statistics report banks on-balance sheet financial claims (ie contractual lending) vis-à-vis the rest of the world and provide a measure of the risk exposures of lenders national banking systems. The data cover contractual (immediate borrower) and ultimate risk lending by the head office and all its branches and subsidiaries on a worldwide consolidated basis, net of inter-office accounts. Reporting of lending in this way allows the allocation of claims to the bank entity that would bear the losses as a result of default by borrowers. The consolidated statistics also provide information on the maturity (ie liquidity) and sector risk distribution of banks contractual lending. Furthermore, to reflect the fact that banks country risk exposure can differ substantially from that of contractual lending due to the use of risk mitigants such as guarantees and collateral, reporting countries provide information on claims on an ultimate risk basis (ie Data characteristics Locational (Tables 1 8 B) Consolidated (Tables 9 A 9 D) Creditor reporting basis Residence (host country) Nationality (home country) Number of reporting countries Frequency Quarterly since 1977 Quarterly since March Reported data External claims and liabilities Worldwide consolidated claims Inter-office netting-out No Yes Type of counterparty Immediate borrower Immediate (contractual) and ultimate borrower Composition of claims by: Country of borrower Yes Yes Currency Yes No Type of instrument Yes (loans, deposits, securities) No Maturity No Yes Sector Yes (bank, non-banks) Yes (banks, non-banks, public) 1 Semiannual available since A4 BIS Quarterly Review, September 2011

5 contractual claims net of guarantees and collateral) since June A finer breakdown of BIS reporting banks foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis, and information about derivatives, credit commitments and guarantees are provided as of 2005 Q1. The consolidated statistics became available on a quarterly basis in March 2000; previously, the statistics were collected semiannually. There are currently 30 countries reporting these data (see the table below). Because more countries contribute to the locational bank lending data, one would expect the measure of outstanding debt as reported by the locational data to exceed that of the consolidated data. However, the reporting of worldwide positions in the consolidated data tends to compensate for this. While the locational statistics are appropriate for measuring lending flows in a given period, the consolidated statistics are more suited to gauging the size of banks country and liquidity risk exposures. The detailed maturity and sector breakdowns of the consolidated statistics can be used to supplement the locational data.
