### Key descriptive points from the figure
- Figure title: Liquidity, Lending, and Intragroup Positions of Foreign Bank Branches.
- Caption summary: Liquid assets have risen while either credit has fallen ...... or intragroup net claims have declined.
- Sources: Bank for International Settlements; KPMG; national regulators and supervisors; S&P Global Market Intelligence; and IMF staff analysis.
- Note: Data labels in the figure use International Organization for Standardization (ISO) country codes. Liquidity ratio = liquid assets divided by total assets. Liquid assets include cash, deposits with central banks, and government securities.

### 1. Change in Branch Liquid Assets and Customer Credit (Percent of assets, 2010–17)
- Axis / ticks and labels as presented:
  - Change between 2011 and 2017 (percentage points): –25, –20, –15, –10, –5, 0, 5, 10, 15.
  - Change in loans and investments (axis shown: –50–40–30–20–10010–10400102030 as printed).
  - Change in liquid assets (axis shown: –50–40–30–20–10010–10400102030 as printed).
- Country ISO labels appearing in the panel:
  - POL, ZAF, HKG, CAN, JPN, GBR, USA, CHL, KOR, DEU.

### 2. Net Intragroup Claims
- Axis / ticks and labels as presented:
  - Net intragroup claims (percentage of assets): –15, –10, –5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20.
- Time/series markers printed in the panel:
  - 2013 14 15 16 17 10 20 30 40 (printed as contiguous string "20131415161710203040").

### 3. Simulated Branch Loans under Different Liquidity Ratios (Percent of assets)
- Axis / ticks and labels as presented:
  - Liquidity ratio threshold (percent): 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.
  - If loans-to-asset ratio: Actual Simulations.
  - Vertical tick labels printed in the panel: 0, 16, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 (printed as "0 16 2 4 6 8 10 12 14").
  - Time/series markers printed in the panel: 2013 14 15 16 17 20 30 40 50 (printed as contiguous string "20131415161720304050").

### 4. Simulated Branch Intragroup Claims under Different Liquidity Ratios (Percent of assets)
- Axis / ticks and labels as presented:
  - Liquidity ratio threshold (percent): 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.
  - If intragroup claims-to-assets ratio: Actual Simulations.

### Observational implication shown in the figure
- Further tightening of liquidity could prompt branches to continue reducing loans and intragroup lending.
