¹ Derivatives with a positive market value are reported in the CBS on a guarantor basis (CBS/G). Derivatives with a negative market value are reported in the CBS on an immediate counterparty basis (CBS/I). In order to ensure consistency across the plotted positive and negative market value series, the reporting population for negative market value has been restricted to the set of countries which also report positive market values in the CBS/G.
