Dollar liabilities of banks and other financial firms resident in the United States to foreigners, and their own claims on foreigners payable in dollars, by country of the foreign counterparty, from Treasury's monthly banking statistics. Liabilities include custody liabilities (securities held for foreigners); claims exclude those held for U.S. customers and anything in foreign currencies, which are published only quarterly. Net position is liabilities less claims: a positive number means U.S. banks owe that country more than it owes them.

Segment by: 'Holder' is Treasury's split of liabilities and claims into foreign official institutions and foreign banks versus all other foreigners. 'Liability type' splits liabilities into deposits, short-term Treasury securities, other short-term negotiable securities, negotiable certificates of deposit and other liabilities, which includes custody liabilities other than short-term Treasuries; 'Own vs custody' splits them into the banks' own liabilities and securities held in custody for foreigners. Treasury itemizes claims by holder only (foreign-currency and customer claims are quarterly), so claims and net position are shown under 'Holder' only.

Treasury splits holders by country only into 'foreign official institutions and foreign banks' and 'all other foreigners'. Official institutions cannot be separated from foreign banks here; the all-countries chart by holder shows that split. 'Holder not published' is the part with no holder detail: Treasury withholds it for many small countries (about 4% of dollar liabilities in mid-2026).

Country is where the foreign counterparty is located, so financial centers (the United Kingdom, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Ireland, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore) stand out. The reporting population changed in 2008-09 and in December 2013. History begins in February 2003.
