Thank you very much for your helpful answer. The link I posted actually leads to all sorts of data that BIS has, including the Debt Securities. The link you gave was about Consolidated Banking Statistics, not exactly what I meant but also has the category "all countries excluding residents", so thank you very much.

# Explain some All countries excluding residents in BIS Debt Securities Data

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-18)

In the [BIS Debt Securities statistics](https://www.bis.org/statistics/index.htm):

In both column "issueresidence" and column "issuenationality" there is a category called "**All countries excluding residents**". I do not understand what it means. What is it used for? although I have read through the report going with the data.

Many thanks for your help!

"All countries excluding residents" is a phrase BIS use for *international* debt securities, so represents debt or similar instruments issued by somebody in one country and held by somebody else in a different country, i.e. excluding residents (human or corporate) of the same county

Note that residents of the same country may have a different nationality or be owned by non-residents. So for example if an American-owned subsidiary incorporated in London issues a debt security to a German-owned subsidiary incorporated in London denominated in Japanese Yen, this would be excluded from these statistics since the two banks are both resident in the UK. But if the American-owned bank in London holds a debt security issued by an American bank in New York, this should not be excluded, and should count as a US liability to the UK
