Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 30 September 2022
5 October 2022
In the week ending 30 September 2022 the decrease of EUR 11.4 million 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) increased by EUR 13.8 billion to EUR 362.1 billion. This change was due to the effects of the quarterly revaluation of assets and liabilities of EUR 13 billion and an increase of EUR 0.8 billion on account of customer and portfolio transactions.
The net balance of open market operations and standing facilities (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) rose by EUR 18.2 billion to EUR -2,259.7 billion, owing mainly to the changes in the level of the deposit facility (liability item 2.2) and the longer-term refinancing operations (asset item 5.2).
Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) decreased by EUR 111 billion to EUR 6,262.5 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.
