COUNTRY EXPOSURE LENDING SURVEY

The results of a survey of foreign lending by large United
States banks as of December 31, 1977, were made public today by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Board.
The results are from a semi-annual reporting system begun on
an experimental basis by the bank regulatory agencies in June 1977
and since made permanent.

The survey is intended to increase the

information available to the public on foreign lending by U.S. banks
on a country-by-country basis.
The data for the year-end 1977 survey cover claims on foreign
residents held at all domestic and foreign offices of 124 U.S. banking
organizations with significant foreign banking operations.

Types of Loans
The information gathered in the survey concentrated on
data concerning lending from a bank's offices in one country to
residents of another country, or lending in a currency other than
that of the borrowers.

These are known as cross-border or cross-

currency loans.
Cross-border and cross-currency loans are those most
closely associated with country risk. As shown in Table I, such
claims totalled $194 billion on the reporting date.

About 43 per-

cent of such foreign lending was accounted for by claims on residents




-2of Switzerland and the Group of Ten (G-10) developed countries.
Another 22 percent represented loans to residents of "other developed
countries" and "offshore banking centers.1—* Cross-border and crosscurrency claims on residents of less developed countries that are
not oil exporters amounted to approximately $47 billion, or some
24 percent of the total.
In addition, the banks reported $49 billion in local
currency claims that were held by their offices in foreign countries
on residents of the country in which the office was located.

An

example would be Deutsche mark claims on German residents held by
the German branch of the reporting U.S. bank.

To a large extent,

these local currency claims were matched by $40 billion in local
currency liabilities due to local residents. Approximately 73 percent of these claims were on residents of Switzerland and the
G-10 countries.

Maturities
About two-thirds of the reported cross-border
and cross-currency claims had a maturity of under one year. Only
$12 billion in claims had a maturity in excess of five years.
Short-term claims were especially prominent in the G-10 countries
and the offshore banking centers where, combined, $85 billion out
of $107 billion in claims matured in less than one year.

This heavy

concentration of short-term claims reflects the large volume of

—' Countries where multinational banks conduct a large international
money market business.




-3interbank lending in these countries.

Most such placements of

deposits are for very short periods.
For most other groups of countries, short-term claims
accounted for about one-half of total claims, although the proportion varied significantly among individual countries.

Type of Borrower
With regard to type of customer, business with other banks
accounted for the largest amount, equaling $96 billion.

This was

followed by private nonbank sector lending totaling $60 billion,
and loans to the public sector amounting to $38 billion.

This last

category includes foreign central governments, their political subdivisions and agencies, foreign central banks, and commercial nonbank enterprises owned by government.
significantly from country to country.

This distribution varied
Here also, most of the claims

on banks were on those located in the G-10 countries and the offshore
banking centers.

Guarantees
In Table II, information is provided on the cross-border
and cross-currency claims that are guaranteed by residents of another
country.

Claims are reallocated from the country of residence of the

borrower to another country intwo major ways.

First, claims on a

bank branch located in one country where the head office is located
in another country are allocated to the country of the head office.




-4Since a branch is legally a part of the parent, claims on a branch
are treated as being guaranteed by the head office.

Second, claims

on a borrower in one country which are formally guaranteed by a
resident of another country are allocated to the latter country.
These reallocations are thought to provide a better approximation
of country exposure in the banks1 portfolios than the unadjusted
figures.
The results of the reallocations appear in the last column
of Table II.

Most of the shifts are accounted for by the transfer

of claims on branches (and, where guaranteed, subsidiaries) of
banks to their head offices ($36 billion out of $46 billion).

In

general, the reallocations primarily affected the offshore banking
centers and some of the developed countries.

For example, claims

on the offshore banking centers decreased from $24 billion to $8
billion and claims on the United Kingdom decreased from $31 billion
to $18 billion.
For most less developed countries, a relatively small
portion of claims is externally guaranteed.

The total shown for

claims on foreigners by country of guarantor is about $174 billion
or $20 billion less than the total for claims by country of borrower.
This results from U.S. residents guaranteeing about $28 billion in
claims on foreign residents and foreigners guaranteeing about $8
billion of claims on U.S. residents.




-5Commitments to Provide Funds for Foreigners
The survey also provided information on contingent claims
on foreigners.

The banks were asked to report such contingent claims

only where the bank had a legal obligation to provide funds.

As

shown in Table III, the amounts reported total $52 billion;
75 percent of that total being in the private sector, including banks.
Table III also adjusts these commitments for guarantees in the same
manner as Table II does for claims.
Use of the Data - Comparison with June 19 77 Survey
The December 1977 survey is not fully comparable to the
survey conducted in June 1977 for which data were released on
January 16, 1978.

A slightly different reporting panel was used

for the latest survey, adjustments were made to the form and its
instructions, and certain deviations from the instructions that
were permitted in the June version of the form were not permitted
this time.
Total claims as of December were about $30 billion larger
than in June.

However, the largest increase, $20 billion, was in

claims on banks in the offshore banking centers and G-10 countries.
It is believed that a large portion of this increase is due to better
reporting.

In June, several banks reported bank claims on a net

basis after guarantees rather than reporting gross amounts initially.
Some of the growth in this particular item may also be due to the fact




-6that the June report included only bank placements in this category,
while the December report included other claims on banks as well.
The change in reported amounts in other areas was more
moderate and is probably more indicative of real growth in lending to
these areas.

For example, claims on less developed countries that

are not oil exporters, after adjustments for guarantees, showed an
increase of about $3.5 billion, going from $41.5 billion?.' to
$45 billion.

2/
— Includes amounts for "other Latin America11, "Other Africa",
"Other Middle East", and "Other Asia/Pacific" which were not
included in the total in June but are in the December data.
