The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Quarterly Review disseminates the Bank for International Settlement’s research on financial markets and macroeconomics. Articles tend to be more topical than academic papers, are less technical and focus on topics that are of interest to central banks. The overview chapter analyses recent developments; another chapter reviews the highlights of the recent releases of the BIS’ statistics on banking, securities and derivatives markets. Recent special features have focused on measures to reopen securitisation markets, on methods to estimate the contributions to systemic risk of individual banks, on the cost of capital of banks and on setting up central counterparties in OTC derivatives markets. The annex to the Quarterly Review includes data from the international financial statistics on financial institutions operating across borders; various financial markets in different jurisdictions; a growing range of financial instruments; and lenders, depositors, investors and borrowers transacting in different currencies.
