Respondent Panel: The panel consists of branches and agencies of foreign banks domiciled in the United States with total direct claims on foreign residents in excess of $30 million. For purposes of this report, banks in Puerto Rico and U.S. territories and possessions are not considered foreign banks. Participation is required.
