Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 30 June 2017

5 July 2017

Items not related to monetary policy operations

In the week ending 30 June 2017 the decrease of EUR 25 billion in gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) 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) decreased by EUR 13.4 billion to EUR 264.4 billion. This change was due to the effects of the quarterly revaluation of assets and liabilities, which more than offset the increase owing to customer and portfolio transactions.
