Selection: cross-border claims (measure C), reporting country NLD vs each individual counterparty country, 2025-Q4, with the same cell at 2008-Q1 where it exists. License:free with “Source: BIS” attribution. Shares are of the sum of this reporter's named counterparty cells, not of its published total, because the two differ. Change is in the nominal USD stock and is not a flow. n/a means the cell does not exist at the earlier date, which is not the same as zero. Methodology
These are residence figures, so this page covers every bank booking here, foreign-owned subsidiaries and branches included, and excludes the foreign books of banks headquartered here but booking abroad. For the other side of the ledger, how much the world’s banks lend to this economy, see its counterparty page. The methodology gives the exact BIS selection behind every figure here.
