Coverage of reports. Reports are filed by member banks, and
voluntarily by norancmber banks, for all foreign branches for which total
U. S. dollar deposits and direct borrowings m o u n t to $50 million or -ore,
and ror all branches in the Bahamas. On the monthly report of maturities,
branches may report either (a) deposits and direct borrowings of $100,000
or more per individual item, or (b) all'deposits and direct borrowings.
Deposits reportable include interest-bearing call, overnight and time
deposits, including negotiable certificates of deposit. Not reportable
are deposits on which no or only nominal interest is paid and other
liabilities that are carried as deposits but are not bid for as money
market liabilities.
The data in the attached table are based on reports from more
than 40 U. S. banks, covering more than 50 branches. The great' bulk of
the deposits are in branches in Europe. Branches in London alone account
for about 85 per cent of total deposits covered by the reports.
For the purpose of calculating the average maturity of deposits,
a maturity of 1 day was assumed for both overnight and call deposits; other
deposits were assumed to mature at mid-month.
