Offsetting Financial Assets And Financial Liabilities [Abstract]  
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The Barclays Bank Group reports financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis on the balance sheet only if there is a
legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The following table shows the impact of netting arrangements on:
▪All financial assets and liabilities that are reported net on the balance sheet.
▪All derivative financial instruments and reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending
and borrowing agreements that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, but do not
qualify for balance sheet netting.
