The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has created this 94-page guide to international banking statistics in order to "provide reporting countries with definitions and guidelines for the reporting of data; secondly, to give a detailed account of current country practices regarding the coverage and disaggregation of the reported data." The Guide itself is broken into three parts. Part I, "Guidelines to the locational banking statistics," offers the guidelines, followed by "tables on reporting requirements and country practices." Part II focuses on the guidelines to the consolidated banking statistics. The report also contains a glossary of terms and several appendices.
