OTC derivatives statistics

BIS statistics

2024-11-21

The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives statistics capture the outstanding positions of derivatives dealers, mainly banks. They cover the outstanding notional value, market value and credit exposure of OTC foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, commodity and credit derivatives, as well as Herfindahl concentration measures. Dealers report on a worldwide consolidated basis, including the positions of their foreign affiliates and excluding intragroup positions. The statistics are collected under the auspices of the Committee on the Global Financial System and reported to the BIS at a country, rather than individual dealer, level. The statistics comprise data reported every six months by dealers in 12 jurisdictions (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States) plus data reported every three years by dealers in more than 30 additional jurisdictions. For periods between Triennial Surveys, the outstanding positions of dealers in these additional jurisdictions are estimated by the BIS.
