The balance sheets of monetary financial institutions (MFIs)
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.
