Explanatory notes:
- The average return in reserve currencies p.a. is calculated as the weighted average of the returns on portfolios in the currencies of the respective portfolios; the weights are the ratios of the portfolios’ market value to the total;
- Five years. three years and one year are moving periods. i.e.. for example. a one-year period contains data for the last four quarters.
- Bonds are broken down into four major categories:
- bonds issued by governments.
- bonds of government agencies. i.e. issuers with a close relationship with the central government. whose liabilities are usually explicitly guaranteed by the government.
- supranational issuers include. for example. the BIS. IBRD. EBRD. EIB. etc..
- MBS bonds and covered bonds are mortgage-backed bonds (bonds guaranteed by selected US agencies – MBS or covered bonds typically issued in Europe).
