Preliminary international banking statistics at end-March 2012

The locational banking statistics at end-March 2012 include for the first time the positions of banks resident in Indonesia, ie the Indonesian offices of domestically owned and foreign-owned banks. The addition of Indonesia brings to 44 the number of countries reporting the locational banking statistics. Indonesian data are available from end-2010. At end-March 2012, banks in Indonesia reported international claims of $69 billion (of which cross-border claims were $13 billion) and international liabilities of $72 billion (of which cross-border liabilities were $23 billion). International claims and liabilities represent the sum of cross-border positions and positions vis-à-vis residents denominated in foreign currencies.
