Abstract

    The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC 009) is filed quarterly with the

their portfolios and the possible impact on U.S. banks of adverse 
developments in particular countries. The Country Exposure Information 
Report (FFIEC 009a) is a supplement to the FFIEC 009 and provides 
publicly available information on material foreign country exposures 
(all exposures to a country in excess of 1 percent of total assets or 
20 percent of capital, whichever is less) of U.S. banks, savings 
associations and bank holding companies that file the FFIEC 009 report. 
As part of the Country Exposure Information Report, reporting 
institutions must also furnish a list of countries in which they have 
lending exposures above 0.75 percent of total assets or 15 percent of 
total capital, whichever is less.

Treasury's Treasury International Capital (TIC) reports (OMB Nos.: 
1505-0016, 0017, 0018, 0019, 0020, and 0024).
