National Accounts for OECD Countries Vol. IIIa: Financial Accounts - Flows and Vol. IIIb: Financial Balance Sheets - Stocks, 1994-2005 - 2006 Edition

Two new volumes of the series of National Accounts of OECD Countries, relating respectively to the financial accounts and the financial balance sheets of OECD countries, based on the System of National Accounts (SNA 1993), are now published annually by OECD:

  • National Accounts of OECD Countries: Volume IIIa - Financial Accounts - Flows, 1994-2005
  • National Accounts of OECD Countries: Volume IIIb - Financial Balance Sheets - Stocks , 1994-2005

In both volumes, data are expressed in national currency (in euros for euro area countries).

Volume IIIa covers financial accounts of OECD countries and includes financial transactions (both net acquisition of financial assets and net incurrence of liabilities), by institutional sector (Non-financial corporations (S11), Financial corporations (S12), General government (S13), Central Government (S1311), Households and Non-profit institutions serving households - NPISH (S14-S15), Total economy  (S1) and Rest of the World (S2)) and by financial instrument.

Data are shown for 23 of the 30 OECD countries for the period from 1993 to 2004 in the paper version and for 24 OECD countries from 1970 onwards in the electronic version, depending on data availability.

Volume IIIb covers financial balance sheets of OECD countries and includes financial stocks (both financial assets and liabilities), by institutional sector (Non-financial corporations (S11), Financial corporations (S12), General government (S13), Central Government (S1311), Households and Non-profit institutions serving households - NPISH (S14-S15), Total economy  (S1) and Rest of the World (S2)) and by financial instrument.

Data are shown for 21 of the 30 OECD countries for the period from 1993 to 2004 in the paper version and for 22 OECD countries from 1970 onwards in the electronic version, depending on data availability.

Two types of tables are shown in Volumes IIIa and IIIb:

  1. crossed tables which provide transactions and stocks data in the form of a matrix (institutional sectors in columns and types of instruments in rows), for the last year available: such tables can be used to analyse the behaviour of the economic agents and to evaluate the wealth of economic agents by type of financial instrument;
  2. historical tables (1993-2004) in a time series form which present, for a limited number of institutional sectors, the inter-sectoral financial flows and the financial stocks, by financial instrument:  these tables give a view of the evolution, over the years, in the use of financial instruments by sector and in the holding of stocks of financial instruments by the different institutional sectors.
