### Summary / Focus
- This Technical Note focuses on banking system spillovers of Malaysia.
- The note examines:
  - the presence of foreign banks and the potential for problems in other jurisdictions to spillover to Malaysia; and
  - the overseas operations of Malaysian banks, which make their performance and solvency more exposed to economic and political developments abroad.
- A key facet of the current crisis is "serious problems in advanced economy banks," suggesting a role for spillovers from their claims on Malaysia.

### Findings on foreign claims and trends
- Notwithstanding the Asian Financial Crisis, foreign claims of BIS-reporting banks on Malaysia have generally been on an increasing trend since the early 1990s.
