General Description of Reports 

This information collection is 

mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 3906 for all

the Board; sections 7 and 10 of the

Abstract 

All individual U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks that have more 

than $30 million in direct claims on 

residents of foreign countries must file 

the FFIEC 019 report quarterly. 

Currently, all respondents report 

adjusted exposure amounts to the five 

largest countries having at least $20 

million in total adjusted exposure. The 

agencies collect this data to monitor the 

extent to which such branches and 

agencies are pursuing prudent country 

risk diversification policies and limiting 

potential liquidity pressures. No 

changes are proposed to the FFIEC 019 

reporting form or instructions.
