The release of financial accounts statistics data on financial assets and liabilities (stocks) of institutional sectors starting from 26 October 2020 brings a novelty in terms of extending the annual data series back to earlier dates. More precisely, the historical series of annual data on financial assets and liabilities (stocks) of institutional sectors for the period from 1995 to 2000 has been reconstructed and released.
All available administrative and statistical sources relating to that period were used to compile the historical series of financial assets and liabilities (stocks) of institutional sectors in the period concerned, with the sector classification of institutional units being harmonised with the ESA 2010 methodology.
Quarterly data on financial assets and liabilities (stocks) of institutional sectors remained unchanged in this release and they continue to be released for the period from the first quarter of 2012 onwards.
