QUARTERLY REPORT ON FOREIGN BRANCHES
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System today
announced the results of the March 31, 1976 report on the geographical
distribution of the assets and liabilities of major foreign branches
of U.S. banks, together with revised figures for December 31, 1975.
The revised data for December 1975 reflect two types of
adjustments. The number of reporting branches increased after the
December reports were first received. The revised December figures
reflect this increase and are consistent with the March figures with
iregard to reporting branches. In addition, there were revisions of
the original December reports. In particular, these revisions
served to reduce assets and liabilities vis-a-vis East Germany and
increase those vis-a-vis West Germany.
