The Financial Balance Sheets show financial assets, liabilities and net financial worth (assets minus liabilities) at the end of the period. This table is on a non-consolidated basis, meaning that it shows all assets and liabilities of units in a sector or subsector (or the economy as a whole), in contrast with consolidated balance sheets in which counterpart assets and liabilities of units within the same sector or subsector (or the economy as a whole) would be removed. In this table, the presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter. The default view of the table is for the economy as a whole, but you can use the ‘Institutional sector’ filter to select specific sectors such as Non-financial Corporations, Financial Corporations, General Government and Households, as well as the Rest of the world account. For each sector, the table presents breakdowns by financial instrument, for example currency and deposits, debt securities, loans, equity and investment fund shares, insurance and pensions. Users can also choose to compare a single financial instrument, such as listed shares, for several countries. Users should note that Australia does not produce non-consolidated accounts. These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE720R dataset.

Financial Indicators aim to capture in quantitative terms an important but heterogeneous and fast evolving area. Key factors driving this change are: globalisation of the financial markets; maturing of national financial markets and therefore the structure of these markets required to service their needs; increased sophistication of the actors in these markets; rapid technological change; and evolving regulatory frameworks. Financial institutions react and adapt to these conditions by changing their strategies; by specialising, by diversifying or concentrating their activities, and by extending through mergers and acquisitions. As a consequence, there is almost constant evolution in the institutional structures in which financial markets operate.   OECD statistics contact   Statistics and Data Directorate
