Bank Liabilities (Local Currency, Average) by Country

A bank liability is defined as an obligation of an entity arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of which may result in the transfer or use of assets, provision of services or yielding of other economic benefits in the future. Bank liabilities are calculated as total assets minus bank equity. In other words, liabilities are all the external funds the bank is using to finance its assets with, apart from its own book value. These are mostly bank deposits, interbank borrowing and debt securities it has issued itself. The data are in local currency.
