INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Country Exposure Report
for U.S. Branches and Agencies
of Foreign Banks

AF
T

FFIEC 019

General Instructions
Who Must Report

This report is required each quarter for each branch or
agency of a foreign bank domiciled in the 50 states of
the United States and the District of Columbia that
has total direct claims (including those of its IBF) on
“foreign residents,” as defined later in these instructions, in excess of $30 million or more on the quarterly
report date. (For purposes of this report, Puerto Rican
banks are not considered to be foreign banks; therefore, U.S. branches and agencies of Puerto Rican
banks are not required to submit this report.)

D

R

A separate report is to be filed by each branch or
agency that meets the reporting criteria. However,
branches and agencies of the same foreign parent bank
that file the Report of Assets and Liabilities of U.S.
Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks
(FFIEC 002) on a consolidated basis may also file this
report on that basis.

Scope

This report requires information on the distribution by
country of claims on non-U.S. residents held by U.S.
branches and agencies (including their IBFs) of foreign
banks. Each reporting branch and agency must report
foreign
its gross claims on: (1) residents of its home country
(including related non-U.S. offices of the reporting
institution) and (2) residents of the five other countries
for which its adjusted exposure (i.e., direct claims
adjusted for guarantees and other indirect claims) is
largest, if the adjusted exposure for the country is
greater than or equal to $20 million.
Claims are initially reported by the country of direct
obligor and are then adjusted to reflect any guarantees
Insert A

FFIEC 019

of parties in other countries. The report covers all
extensions of credit, as well as legally binding loan
commitments and letters of credit. The adjusted claims
on unrelated foreign residents are reported for each
country shown by type of borrower and by the remaining maturity.

Filing of Report

The Federal Reserve acts as the collecting and processing agent of this report for the federal supervisory
authorities. Reporting institutions are required to submit the report quarterly as of the last calendar day each
quarter. Reports must be submitted within 45 calendar
days of the report date. For institutions that do not
wish to submit the report electronically, the original
and two copies of the completed report shall be submitted each quarter to the Federal Reserve Bank in
whose district the reporting branch or agency is
located. Institutions that wish to submit the report
electronically should contact their district Reserve
Bank or go to https://www.frbservices.org/central-bank/
reporting-central/index.html for procedures for
electronic submission. This website also includes a link
that reporters may use to contact the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York for technical assistance.

Valuation
All amounts reported on this form should be valued in
U.S. dollars. Claims denominated in other currencies
should be converted into dollars using the exchange
rate prevailing on the report date.

Rounding
Amounts reported on this form should be rounded to
the nearest million dollars.

Differences between FFIEC 019 Reporting and U.S. GAAP
The differences in accounting treatment between FFIEC 019 reporting and U.S. GAAP are as
follows:
U.S. GAAP
Offsetting of positive and
negative fair values are
permitted when a “right of
setoff” exists under
ASC Subtopic 210-20,
Balance Sheet – Offsetting.

FFIEC 019
Offsetting of positive and
negative fair values is
permitted, consistent with
U.S. GAAP. However, only
net positive fair values are
reported on the FFIEC 019.

Although the FASB
accounting standards
codification (ASC) does not
address CUSIP netting, it is
industry practice to net
trading assets against trading
liabilities in the same security
(i.e., with the same CUSIP or
ISIN 1).

CUSIP netting is allowed for
the FFIEC 019 report. In
addition, short positions in
the same issuer and asset
class of the trading asset may
be reported as an offsetting

the same institutions as the term “related institutions
domiciled outside the United States” used in the
FFIEC 002 report.

AF
T

For purposes of the classification of the reporter’s customers in this report, the term “United States” covers
the 50 states of the United States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and territories and possessions of the United States.

(3) other foreign banks (including their branches
and agencies outside the United States) that are
majority-owned by organizations described in
either (i) or (ii) above, or by their majorityowned subsidiaries; and

Note: This is consistent with the definitions used for
the FFIEC 002 report and for the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms.

Foreign Resident/Non-U.S. Resident

R

For purposes of this report, the terms “foreign resident” and “non-U.S. resident” include any individual,
partnership, or corporation, and any government or
political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality
thereof, located outside the United States, including
non-U.S. offices related to the reporting branch or
agency. These terms also include any international or
regional organization (or subordinate or affiliated
agency thereof) created by treaty or convention
between sovereign states.

D

For determining residence, reporting institutions
should use the customer’s principal address. However,
claims on a representative of a foreign government that
operates in an official capacity (e.g. an embassy)
should be considered as direct claims on that foreign
country, regardless of the place of residence of the representative. Claims on international or regional organizations should not be considered as claims on the
country in which such organizations are located;
instead, all such organizations are to be treated as a
single “country” (see list of country names and codes).

Related Non-U.S. Offices
These include:
(1) the head office of the reporting branch or
agency and the bank’s branches and agencies
that are located outside the United States;
(2) the foreign holding company of the bank;

Unrelated Foreign Residents

Includes all non-U.S. residents, both bank and nonbank, other than “related non-U.S. offices” as defined
above.

Foreign Public Borrowers

The term “foreign public borrowers” covers the following institutions: central governments and departments
of central governments of foreign countries and their
possessions; foreign central banks, stabilization funds,
exchange authorities, and government-owned banks
that perform the functions of a central bank or a bank
of issue; corporations and other agencies of central
governments, including development banks, development institutions, and nonbank commercial enterprises whose shares are majority-owned by the central
government or its departments; and state, provincial
and local governments of foreign countries and their
departments and agencies. “Foreign public borrowers”
also includes any international or regional organization
(or subordinate or affiliated agency thereof) created by
treaty or convention between sovereign states.

Unrelated Foreign Banks
For purposes of this report, the term “unrelated foreign banks,” which is a component of “unrelated foreign residents” (see above), covers the following institutions domiciled in foreign countries except those that
are “related non-U.S. offices” (see above): commercial
banks, savings banks, discount houses, and other similar institutions accepting short-term deposits. “Unrelated foreign banks” includes such banking institutions
that are owned by foreign governments unless such

institutions function as central banks or banks of issue,
in which case they are treated as “foreign public borrowers.” (See above.) Also included as unrelated foreign banks are the foreign branches of U.S. commercial
banks.

same as the definition of “banks in foreign countries”
used for the FFIEC 002 report.

defined as either “foreign public borrowers” (above) or
as “unrelated foreign banks” (above).

would be included in the figure for Country A; in the
totals of adjusted claims, it would be excluded from the
figure for Country A and included in the figure for
Country B. The examples on pages 12–17 illustrate this
process. In the examples, as in the report form, Column
1 shows direct claims on each country to be reported;
Column 2 shows the amount of direct claims on each
country that is guaranteed by parties in other countries
and that must be deducted to calculate adjusted claims;
and Column 3 shows the amount of direct claims on
residents of other countries that residents of each
country have guaranteed. Finally, Column 4 shows the
total adjusted claims on each country and reflects the
adjustments for such “external” guarantees.

R

In this report, a distinction is made between “direct
claims” on given countries and “indirect claims.”A
“direct claim” on a given country is one in which the
immediate obligor is a resident of that country; an
“indirect claim” occurs when a resident of another
country, through guarantees or other means, is the
“ultimate” obligor upon whom the reporting institution can make claims in the event the immediate obligor is unable to satisfy the claim. Claims on related
U.S. branches should not be reported as a direct or
indirect claim on the country of the head office.
Insert B

Adjusted Claims

D

The adjustment referred to in this report requires the
respondent to deduct from the direct claims on each
country those claims that are guaranteed by parties in
another country and to add to the direct claims on
each country those direct claims on other countries
(including the United States) that parties in the country have guaranteed. Total “adjusted claims” or total
“adjusted exposure” refers to the total figure for a
given country that results from making these adjustments. Claims on unrelated parties that are guaranteed
by the reporter’s head office or a related branch or
agency should not be shifted to the country of the head
office, branch or agency.
For example, a loan to a resident of Country A that is
guaranteed by a resident of Country B is a direct claim
on Country A and an indirect claim on Country B. In
the totals of direct claims, the amount of the loan

Direct Claims

The term “direct claims” refers to the following types
of gross claims (denominated either in U.S. dollars or
in foreign currencies):
• Balances with banks

• Balances with foreign central banks and official
institutions
• Securities held for the respondent’s own account
• Federal funds sold and securities purchased under
agreements to resell
• Loans, as defined in the instructions to the
FFIEC 002 report
• Holdings of acceptances of non-U.S. banks
• Direct lease financing
• Customers’ liability on acceptances outstanding
(excludes own acceptances purchased which are
shown as loans and prepaid acceptances
(anticipations)).
(Note: If the reporting branch or agency is an accepting institution and has contracted with other institutions for them to participate in its acceptance liability
in any way, the total amount of the customer’s liability
on the acceptance, with no deduction for the participation, is to be treated in this report (similar to the
requirements for the FFIEC 002) as a claim held by the
accepting bank. Correspondingly, the participating
institutions do not treat their participation in the
acceptance as a claim in this report.)

When distributing direct claims by country, claims on a
branch (or agency) of a bank are to be treated as direct
claims on the country where the branch is located,
regardless of the location of the branch’s head office.
(Such claims, however, are also treated as indirect
claims on the country of the head office, as described
in the next paragraph.)

and, for a direct claim on a foreign resident, the contract contains provisions to pass the transfer risk to the
counterparty. In such cases, the reporting institution’s
internal criteria should, at a minimum, include provisions that:

D

R

For purposes of this report, the term “indirect claims”
covers “guarantees”and other indirect claims for which
adjustments (additions and subtractions) to direct
claims are required to be made in Columns 2–3.
“Guarantees,” for purposes of this report, consist of
those claims of the reporting institution for which a
third party formally and legally obligates itself to repay
the reporting institution’s claims on the direct obligor
if the latter fails to do so. Documents—such as comfort letters, letters of awareness, or letters of intent—
that do not establish firm legal obligations are not considered guarantees for the purpose of this report.
Guarantees of direct claims on foreign residents must
explicitly pass the transfer risk to the guarantor.
(Direct claims on U.S. residents have no transfer risk,
by definition.) Limited guarantees, such as those that
just cover political risk, do not qualify as guarantees
for the purposes of this report. The term “guarantees”
covers the collateralization of claims if the collateral is
both (1) tangible and liquid, including readily marketable shares of stocks or bonds; and (2) is held “and realizable outside of the country of residence of the borrower. In cases involving collateral, the residence of the
“guaranteeing” party, for purposes of the report, is the
country in which the collateral is held unless the collateral is stocks or bonds, in which case it is the country of
residence of the party issuing the security.
The term “guarantees” also includes credit derivative
contracts in the form of off-balance sheet, bilateral
over-the-counter (OTC) swaps and options (including
credit default swaps and options, total return swaps
and sovereign risk options) when the reporting institution is the beneficiary of a contract that it considers to

• prohibit clauses that reduce the effectiveness of the
guarantee in the case of default,
• contain effectual events of default, and
• reference the same legal entity.

For purposes of this report, claims on a branch or
agency (but not a subsidiary unless explicitly guaranteed as defined in the first paragraph of this section),1
located in one country whose parent bank is headquartered in another country are considered to be “guaranteed” by the head office. Accordingly, a reporting institution having a direct claim on such a branch or agency
is considered to have an indirect claim on the foreign
parent bank. For example, a claim on a U.S. branch of
a Swiss bank would be a direct claim on a U.S. resident
and an indirect claim on a Swiss resident.
Insert C

Remaining Maturity
For loans on which the entire principal is to be repaid
on a single date, the term “remaining maturity” refers
to the time remaining from the “as of ” report date to
the expiration date of the loan. For loans on which
portions of the principal are scheduled to be repaid on
several different dates that may fall into more than one
maturity category, the loan should be allocated to the
appropriate maturity categories on the basis of the
time remaining to each payment date from the “as of ”
report date. Revolving credits should be classified by
the date on which repayment of principal may be
required. If a loan or obligation has been refinanced or
rescheduled and has a new maturity date, the new
maturity date should be used to determine the proper
maturity category.
1. However, if the subsidiary is a related non-U.S. institution as
defined in “unrelated non-U.S. offices,” that amount should be reported
in Column 3 and Column 5.

Examples of Indirect Claims
Required Risk Transfers
The outward and inward redistribution of claims from an “immediate-counterparty” basis to an
“ultimate-risk.”

1. Guarantees

AF
T

If full credit protection is provided by more than one source, e.g., from multiple guarantors or
multiple forms of collateral, the ultimate-risk claim should be determined by the sector and
residence of the highest rated credit enhancer (using the reporter’s internal rating system). For
instance, for a claim on a bank branch for which eligible collateral is posted, it should be
determined whether the counterparty’s parent bank or the collateral has a higher credit rating.
The claim should then be reported, accordingly, on an ultimate-risk basis.

Guarantees are legally binding commitments by a third party to repay a debt if the direct obligor
fails to do so. Guarantees include financial and performance standby letters of credit and
acceptances (for the amount of the participation sold). Documents that do not establish legal
obligations, such as “comfort” letters, letters of awareness, or letters of intent, are not guarantees
for the purpose of this report.
Guarantees provided by the reporter’s head office or other consolidated units of the reporter
should not be considered guarantees for the purposes of this report.
Guarantees providing protection to the reporter should result in the reallocation of the claim
from the sector and country row of the immediate

R

Ownership of fund shares in an unconsolidated investment entity should be reported on an
immediate and ultimate risk basis according to the country and sector of the investment
entity. The underlying assets of the investment fund do not provide an effective guarantee for
purposes of the FFIEC 019 report.

D

2. Insurance Policies

Insurance policies that guarantee payment of a claim if the borrower defaults or if nonconvertibility occurs should be reallocated to the non-bank sector of the country of residence
of the entity providing the insurance. However, limited purpose policies, such as “political
risk insurance” policies should not be used as a basis for reallocation. Conversely, if a
reporter issues an insurance policy guaranteeing the payment of a claim if a foreign borrower
defaults, the amount of the protection sold.

3. Head Offices
For the purposes of this report, claims on a bank branch (but not on a subsidiary) of a banking
organization are considered to be guaranteed by the head office of the organization, even without
March 2022
26

a legally binding agreement. Therefore, claims on bank branches should be reallocated to the bank
sector in the country in which the parent institution is chartered.
4. Reporting Credit Derivatives
A. Risk Transfers

AF
T

Reporters should report credit derivative contracts purchased, (including, but not
limited to, credit default swaps and options, total return swaps and sovereign risk
options), as guarantees for purposes of this report, provided the institution
considers the arrangement to be an effective credit risk mitigant based on its internal
criteria and provided the contract contains provisions to pass the credit risk to the
counterparty. A reporter’s internal criteria should, at a minimum, include
provisions that ensure the terms of credit derivatives provide an effective
guarantee, even in the case of a maturity mismatch, prohibit clauses that reduce the
effectiveness of the guarantee in the case of default, contain effectual events of
default, and reference the same legal entity as the obligor.
Claims for which credit derivatives form an effective risk transfer should be
reallocated to the sector and country of residence of the entity that is providing the
protection.

Credit protection purchased to guarantee a claim reported on an immediate counterparty
basis should be reported.

R

If the notional amount of the credit protection purchased is less than the amount of
the immediate claim, the notional amount of the guaranteed portion should be
reallocated to the sector and country of the credit protection seller, and the nonguaranteed portion should be reported opposite the sector and country of the
immediate obligor.

For contracts with variable notional principal amounts, report the notional principal
amounts as of the report date.

D

B. Treatment of Multi-Name Credit Derivatives
Purchases and sales of credit derivatives guaranteeing multiple underlying reference
entities (i.e., multi-name instruments, including portfolio or basket credit default
swaps (CDS), CDS indexes, and “tranched” CDS contracts) should be reported on
the FFIEC 019. However, only non-tranche index and single name CDS contracts may be
used to risk transfer an immediate claim.

Regardless of whether reported on, if the underlying basket is composed of reference
entities located in one country, report the full notional amount of the contract opposite the
country of the reference entity. If the underlying basket is composed of several securities

derivative contracts, should be reported on. For these types of contracts, if the underlying

buyer are not triggered by a credit event in a particular reference entity, but are triggered
by a default past a predetermined threshold, the notional value of the contract should be
reported in the “Unallocated” row.
5. Collateralized Claims
Eligible collateral for risk transfers on the FFIEC 019 includes collateral that is:
(1 ) Liquid and readily realizable, and
(2 ) Is realizable outside of the country of residence ofthe borrower.

Cash

AF
T

Eligible collateral includes:
If collateral is in the form of cash, the sector and country of the “guaranteeing” party is the sector
and country of residence of the legal entity where the cash is held (i.e., the legal entity that has
the liability for the cash collateral). Cash collateral posted to the same sector and country as the
immediate claim should result in no risk transfer.
Debt and Equity Securities

If collateral is in the form of investment grade debt or marketable equity securities, the sector and
country of the “guaranteeing” party is the sector and country of residence of the party issuing the
security.

R

However, in the case of resale agreements, securities lending arrangements, and other
similar financing agreements, the claims should be allocated based on the counterparty,
not the underlying collateral (i.e., no risk-transfer should be made). These should be
reported at the value of the outstanding claim, regardless of the amount of collateral
provided. Resale agreements should also be reported by country of the counterparty.
If the collateral consists of a basket of convertible cur rencies or investment grade securities of
different countries in an amount equal to the immediate claim, break out the underlying
exposures on a pro-rata basis and report opposite the appropriate country and sector.

D

Collateral provided in the form of cash or securities in excess of the amount of the outstanding
claim (e.g., a margin loan collateralized by securities with a fair value that exceeds the amount
of the margin loan) should only be risk-transferred up to the amount of the underlying claim
Collateral provided by obligors to offset positive fair value positions of derivative contracts
using the same methodology for reporting securities and cash collateral as stated above. If the
reporter has a derivative contract with a positive fair value, and cash (or securities) collateral is
provided, according to the sector and country of the institution holding (or issuing) the
collateral, and the uncollateralized portion should be reported according to the sector and
country of the counterparty.

Assets such as real estate are not liquid or readily realizable and thus cannot be used for a risk
transfer.

6. Risk Participations
Loans and acceptances, where the reporting bank has sold a legally binding risk participation, are
considered to be guaranteed by the purchaser of the participation for the amount of the
participation sold.
Netting and Offsetting
Netting and offsetting of long and short positions is not permitted on the FFIEC 019 report with
the exception of the following:
“CUSIP netting” 2:

AF
T

(1) CUSIP netting should only be applied when the office of the reporter with the position, the
country of the issuer of the underlyingsecurity, and the counterparty to a short position are
in the same country.
(2) as appropriate, the net notional value of credit derivative contracts purchased from and
sold tothe same counterparty and on the same underlying reference entity. Netting may be
done only when all the following apply: (1) there are offsetting purchased and sold positions
on the same reference entity (on a legal entity basis), (2) the contracts are with the same
counterparty, (3) the contracts are subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement.
The positive fair values of derivative contracts may be offset against negative fair values
of derivatives contracts if, and only if, thepositions were executed with the same
counter- party under a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the offsetting
meets the ASC Subtopic 210-20 criteria. Otherwise, positive fair values must be reported
gross.

D

R

In addition, reverse repurchase agreements may be offset by repurchase agreements if,
and only if,the transactions were executed with the same counterparty under a legally
enforceable master repurchase agreement (including multi-jurisdictional and multibranch master netting agreements) and the offsetting meets the criteria in ASC Subtopic
210-20, Balance Sheet— Offsetting. When repurchase agreements are cov ered by
master repurchase agreements, net claim positions should be reported. In addition, for
purposes of the FFIEC 019, net claims resulting from repurchase agreements under
multi-jurisdictional and/or multi-branch master repurchase agreements are considered
guaranteed by counterparty’s head office, or the designated office (“the counterparty”)
subject to the agreement and should be reported in the country of the counterparty on
both an immediate and ultimate risk basis.

2 “CUSIP netting” refers to the industry practice where trading assets and trading liabilities in the same exact

security (based on its security identifier) may be reported on a net basis.

Note: For each country listed, this total should be
equal to or greater than the sum of the following items
for that country on the TIC reports: Column 6, form
BC, and Columns 3 and 4, form BQ-2. (Because the
TIC reports exclude foreign long-term securities and
accrued income, the amounts reported on this form
will exceed those reported on the TIC forms to the
extent that the totals reported here include such items.)

Column 2: Claims in Column 1 on Borrowers
with a Head Office or Guarantor in Another
Country
For each country on which direct claims are reported
in Column 1, report in Column 2 the amount that:
(1) is guaranteed by residents of another country
(including residents of the United States)

Guarantees and Other Indirect
Claims for which the Country Listed in the
Country Column Is the Country of the Head
Office or Guarantor

For each country on which direct claims are reported
in Column 1, report in Column 3 the amount of:
(1) any indirect claims on residents of this country,
which arise from their guarantees of claims on
residents of other countries; and
(2) any claims on branches or agencies located outside the country named on the line but whose
head office is located in this country.

In Column 3, the amounts of such indirect claims are
to be reported against the country of the guarantor or
head office (if that country is one of those listed by the
respondent) not against the country of the direct
claims.
The country against which the exposure constitutes a
direct claim may or may not be one of the countries
listed in the report by a given respondent; therefore, for
any given respondent, the amount reported in Column
3 for the country of the guarantor or head office may
or may not be reflected in Columns 1 and 2. This
would be the case, for example, with direct claims on
U.S. borrowers that are guaranteed by residents of a
country listed in the report.
The amount guaranteed should be included in Column
3 but would not be reported in Columns 1 and 2. (See
examples B and L, below.) However, claims on U.S.
branches and agencies of the respondent’s own bank

Specific Instructions for Allocating Claims to the Rows
This report form contains rows for the home country and individual foreign countries. Data
should be allocated to the rows as described below.
Home Country
Home country is determined by the principal residence address of an individual, partnership, or
corporation, and any government or political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof.

AF
T

Foreign Countries
A foreign country is any country other than the United States as defined on page GEN-2. For
claims reported on an immediate-counterparty basis, report claims for the corresponding
country of legal residence (i.e., the country of incorporation or charter, or, for a bank branch,
the country where the branch is licensed) of the immediate counterparty. For claims reported
on an ultimate-risk basis, report claims in the row corresponding to the country of legal
residence (i.e., the country of incorporation or, for a bank branch, the country where the
parent bank is chartered) of the ultimate obligor. (See the definition of Claims on page GEN-3
for more information.)

D

R

Exposures on non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) should be reported for the country
where the institution is incorporated, or otherwise chartered. Institutions such as hedge
funds and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) should be reported according to the country of
legal residence (country of incorporation) of the fund/vehicle, not according to the location
of the fund managers or beneficial owners of the fund/vehicle.

Direct claims on residents of a listed country that are
not guaranteed by parties in any other countries are
reflected only in Columns 1 and 4. See Example A for
such claims on a country other than the home country
and Example H for such claims on the home country.

shown are those that pertain to the specific claim
described. Note that no entries should be made (and
no examples are shown) when neither the country of
the direct obligor nor the country of the guarantor is
one of the (potentially) six countries listed.

Column 5: Adjusted Claims on Related
Non-U.S. Offices

The amount reported in Column 5, which pertains to
the home country only, is that portion of Column 4
that represents adjusted claims on related offices in the
home country. As suggested above, these adjusted
claims would include claims on the reporting branch’s
or agency’s head office, on its non-U.S. branches and
agencies, and on other “related non-U.S. offices.”
However, they exclude claims of the reporter on any
related U.S. offices.

Column 6: Total Adjusted Claims on Unrelated
Foreign Residents
For the home country, enter in Column 6 the amount
reported in Column 4 minus the amount reported in
Column 5. For each other country listed, enter in this
column the same amount reported in Column 4.

Examples of Entries of Columns 1–5

R

The specific treatment of a given claim, including
whether or not it is reported, generally depends upon
two factors. They are: foreign countries on which direct
claims are reported in Column 1

D

(1) whether the obligor (either direct or indirect) is a
resident of the reporter’s home country or of
one of the other five countries shown on the
report, and
(2) whether the direct claim is guaranteed by a resident of another country.

Other more specialized considerations affect the
reporting of claims on related institutions, as indicated
in the instructions.
The following examples illustrate how claims with cerforeign
tain characteristics would be reflected in the report.
The examples all assume that the respondent is a New
York branch of a foreign bank and that the other five
countries listed are those on which its total adjusted
claims are largest and are at least $20 million for each
country. The countries used in the examples are for
illustration purposes only. The countries shown in the
report by any given respondent will be different,
depending on the respondent’s own pattern of

Distribution of Adjusted Claims on
Unrelated Foreign Residents, as Reported
in Column 6
This section distributes the adjusted claims reported in
Column 6 by the type of obligor (in Columns 7–9) and
by the remaining maturity (in Columns 10 and 11).

Columns 7–9: By Type of Borrower or
Guarantor country on which direct claims
are reported in Column 1

For each country listed, distribute the amount entered
in Column 6 by type of borrower or guarantor: Column 7, Foreign Public Borrowers; Column 8, Unrelated Foreign Banks; and Column 9, Other Unrelated
Foreign Residents. (See definitions above.) The sum of
Columns 7, 8, and 9 must equal Column 6.
