The consolidated banking statistics (CBS) measure international banking activity from a nationality perspective, focusing on the country where the banking group's parent is headquartered. While residence-based data such as the locational banking statistics indicate where positions are booked, they do not always identify where underlying decisions are made. This is because banking offices in one country may operate within a business model decided by the group's controlling parent, which may be headquartered in another country. The CBS capture the worldwide claims of banking groups based in reporting countries and exclude intragroup positions, similar to the consolidation approach followed by banking supervisors. The CBS provide several different measures of banking groups' country risk exposures, on either an immediate counterparty or an ultimate risk basis. The most appropriate exposure measure depends on the issue being analysed. The benchmark measure in the CBS is foreign claims, which capture credit to borrowers outside a banking group's home country.   Measure for all Combinations - Amounts Outstanding / Stocks   Note: Under "Reporting country" they have removed "Euro Area".   Data cited at : https://www.bis.org/statistics/index.htm

The data set on credit to the non-financial sector captures borrowing activity by the government sector and the private non-financial sector in more than 40 economies. Quarterly data on credit to the government sector cover on average 20 years, while those on credit to the private non-financial sector on average more than 45 years. The statistics follow the framework of the System of National Accounts.   Data cited at: Bank for International Settlements (2024), Credit to the non-financial sector, BIS WS_TC 2.0 (data set), https://data.bis.org/topics/TOTAL_CREDIT/data.

The Basel Committee's assessment methodology for G-SIBs requires a sample of banks to report a set of indicators to national supervisory authorities. These indicators are then aggregated and used to calculate the scores of banks in the sample. Banks above a cut-off score are identified as G-SIBs and are allocated to buckets that will be used to determine their higher loss absorbency requirement. The scores and bucket allocations represent the outcome of the mechanistic elements of the G-SIB methodology and include the exercise of supervisory judgement. In the latter case a bank may be in a bucket despite its score being above or below the relevant threshold.
