These figures draw on the group-level data contained in the annual reports of the individual banks. Group-level data include the operations of overseas units of the domestic banks.
These figures draw on the Money and Banking Statistics published by the Central Bank of Ireland. In particular, Tables A4.1 and A4.2 show the assets and liabilities of the resident units of the banks active in the domestic market. Table A4.1 sums across both the local Irish banks and foreign-owned banks active in the domestic market; Table A4.2 shows the data just for the resident units of the local Irish banks.
These figures draw on a special data release from the Central Bank of Ireland covering the cross-border funding profile of the local Irish banks.
