Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 3 July 2020
8 July 2020
In the week ending 3 July 2020 the increase of EUR 38.9 billion in gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) primarily reflected quarterly revaluation adjustments.
The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) fell by EUR 14.2 billion to EUR 324 billion. This change was mainly due to a reduction in US dollar liquidity‑providing operations. The decrease owing to the effects of the quarter-end adjustments of assets and liabilities was EUR 4.3 billion.
As a result of the Eurosystem’s open market operations and standing facilities, net lending to credit institutions (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) fell by EUR 119.1 billion to EUR 1,171.9 billion.
Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) increased by EUR 94.2 billion to EUR 4,287.6 billion.
The table below provides the detailed breakdown of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) into the different portfolios. All portfolios are accounted for at amortised cost.
