The Banking Supervision and Regulation department’s Country Analysis Unit closely analyzes Asian financial sector developments to support the Reserve Bank's oversight of the U.S. branches and subsidiaries of 22 Asian banks. Because conditions in home markets can affect these banks' abilities to support their U.S. operations, Reserve Bank staff monitor not only the financial strength of Asian parent banks, but also the quality of Asian bank regulatory systems and the potential impact of broader economic, political, and social trends.
