Footnotes:
| 1. For positions from December 2024 onwards, the external liabilities and claims data are collected following the Bank for International Settlements' (BIS) Guidelines for Reporting the BIS International Banking Statistics issued in July 2019 (BIS Guidelines). The data are analysed according to the residence of counterparty. Besides, some balance sheet figures have been restated to reflect authorized institutions’ reclassification of intragroup assets and liabilities. Hence, figures are not directly comparable with positions before December 2024. |
| 2. Regions/economies are classified according to the BIS Guidelines. |
| 3. Incomplete data coverage for positions before December 2014 due to reporting gaps of authorized institutions. |
| 4. The territorial breakdown has been changed since December 2024. West Indies UK has been separated into Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Montserrat and St. Christopher / St. Kitts – Nevis since December 2024. |
