Publication of classified loans data within the Money and Banking Statistics of the CNB has been launched

From 31 August 2006, the CNB extents the publication of data on classified loans. In addition to their releases within the basic indicators of the banking sector in the Banking Supervision's section of the website, the data starting in 2002 have been made available within Money and Banking Statistics. From now on, releases of classified loans data will also include breakdowns by economic sector, by loan type and by original maturity.

The methodology concerning these data is described in the commentary Classified loans in CNB statistics, available in sections Statistics-Money and banking statistics- Methodological notes  and FAQ  of the CNB's website. The time series of classified loans are published in the ARAD database under Money and banking statistics- Banking statistics .

In connection with the start of publication of classified loans time series, the Banking statistics section of the ARAD database has also been revised. This section now contains only data for commercial banks and branches of foreign commercial banks in the Czech Republic (i.e. excluding the CNB). The CNB's balance sheet has been excluded from this section and the data on client loans and deposits and securities issued and held have been adjusted for the CNB. Thus, these figures for the CNB are only available in the section called Statistics of monetary developments in the Czech Republic.
