This section contains statistics on the MFI sector, including euro area aggregated and consolidated balance sheets. Balance sheet statistics of the Credit Institutions (CIs) sub-sector and of the Money Market Funds (MMFs) sub-sector are also available. For the updated list of MFIs provided by the ECB and NCBs, see the link on the right-hand side.
The aggregated balance sheet of the MFI sector is the sum of the harmonised balance sheets of all the MFIs resident in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet of the MFI sector is obtained by netting the aggregated balance sheet positions between MFIs in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet provides the basis for the regular analysis of euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts.
Credit Institutions (CIs) and Money Market Funds (MMFs) balance sheet statistics are compiled on an aggregated basis (i.e. no netting out of positions within the sector) and reported on a quarterly basis, around one and half month after the end of the reference period. Data on MMFs share/units held by the money holding sector are also available at monthly frequency by country. More information on MMFs and CI statistics is available on the following explanatory notes (CI, MMF).
The legal basis for the collection of harmonised balance sheet statistics is laid down in Regulation ECB/2008/32. This Regulation is complemented by Guideline ECB/2007/9, which sets out the procedures to be followed by NCBs when reporting money and banking statistics information to the ECB (see link on the right-hand side).
The statistics on loans from euro area MFIs to non-financial corporations by branch of activity (NACE Rev. 2) are estimates derived from data on loans collected under Regulation ECB/2008/32, other national sources and ECB estimates (NACE).
The list of euro area resident MMFs and CIs is available under the list of MFIs. All the euro area series includes data from those EU Member States that had adopted the euro at the time covered by the series. Data on outstanding amounts include Greece as of January 2001, Slovenia as of January 2007, Cyprus and Malta as of January 2008, Slovakia as of January 2009 and Estonia as of January 2011.
