International banking activity

International banking statistics (quarterly series)

These quarterly statistical series provide a geographical breakdown of French banks’ assets and liabilities. They show outstanding amounts and are denominated in USD equivalent. The data are presented according to two different approaches:

- Locational banking statistics of resident banks (LBS). These statistics are consistent with the residency principle of national accounts, balance of payments and external debt statistics. They gather data on international financial claims and liabilities of bank offices located in France. Data feature a breakdown by currency, counterparty country and counterparty sector.

- French banks’ consolidated banking statistics (CBS)

• These statistics cover French banks’ activity carried out by entities located in France or abroad,

These statistics are collected in the G20 framework to improve the sharing of knowledge and the monitoring of international banking activity. More information available here

OTC derivatives survey (biannual series)

The objective of the so-called "Yoshikuni" survey is to obtain reasonably comprehensive and internationally consistent information on the size and structure of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets. The reporting exercise covers the collection of market data on notional amounts and gross market values outstanding. They enable the monitoring of development of various business sectors including foreign exchange, interest rates, equities, commodities and credit derivatives.
