Publication of the complete set of quarterly financial accounts statistics
The Czech National Bank is now publishing the complete time series of quarterly financial accounts statistics starting 2004. In addition to the data on stocks and transactions Czech National Bank has also released a set of selected financial indicators and data on counterparties. This work completes a significant stage in the production of these statistics, which provide information on the financial assets and liabilities of all economic sectors in the Czech economy and the financial linkages between them.
The financial accounts statistics primarily serve the CNB’s analytical needs in the area of monetary policy and financial stability analysis, including fulfilment of the CNB’s reporting obligations to the European Central Bank. The CNB will further develop the quarterly financial accounts statistics in order to achieve closer integration into the system of national accounts, the other parts of which are compiled by the Czech Statistical Office. Further advances in these statistics can be expected in connection with the revision of the European System of National Accounts and the plan to shorten the publication lag from the current T+110 to T+90.
