The FR 2052a and FR 2052b reports
collect quantitative information on selected assets, liabilities,
funding activities, and contingent liabilities on a consolidated
basis and by material entity. U.S. bank holding companies (BHCs)
designated by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) as Global
Systematically Important Banks (G-SIBs) report the complete FR
2052a daily. Foreign banking organizations (FBOs) with U.S.
broker/dealer assets of $100 billion or more report the complete FR
2052a on occasion and an abbreviated FR 2052a (as discussed further
below) twice a month. U.S. BHCs (excluding G-SIBs) with total
consolidated assets of $50 billion or more (including FBO
subsidiaries) and U.S. BHCs (not controlled by FBOs) with total
consolidated assets of $10 billion to $50 billion report on the FR
2052b monthly and quarterly, respectively. The FR 2052 reports are
used to monitor the overall liquidity profile of institutions
supervised by the Federal Reserve. These data provide detailed
information on the liquidity risks within different business lines
(e.g., financing of securities positions and prime brokerage
activities). In particular, these data serve as part of the Federal
Reserve’s supervisory surveillance program in its liquidity risk
management area and provide timely information on firm-specific
liquidity risks during periods of stress. Analysis of systemic and
idiosyncratic liquidity risk issues are then used to inform the
Federal Reserve’s supervisory processes, including the preparation
of analytical reports that detail funding vulnerabilities.
