Abstract: Insured domestically chartered commercial banks (U.S. banks) are required to submit, to the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank, a limited balance sheet for all their foreign branches. This report is collected annually as of December 31 or quarterly for significant branches as of the last day of each calendar quarter. The Federal Reserve receives reports for all foreign branches of U.S. banks, regardless of charter type, on behalf of the U.S. banks’ primary federal bank regulatory agency, which includes the Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively the agencies). The agencies use this report to fulfill their statutory obligation to supervise foreign operations of domestic banks.
