About the statistics
The financial market statistics cover mainly monetary financial institutions (MFIs), but also include new institutes on mortgage markets, known as mortgage credit companies. Unless otherwise stated, the statistical news refers to MFIs.
The statistics include balance sheet statistics (including lending and deposits), interest rates, and monetary aggregates. International banking statistics are also published on a quarterly basis.
Definitions and explanations
The financial market statistics are compiled monthly. Revisions of the statistics may occur.
Monetary financial institutions (MFIs) comprise banks, housing credit institutions, finance companies, institutions financing municipalities and companies, monetary securities companies and monetary investment funds (money market funds).
Mortgage credit companies refers to non-MFIinstitutions that have authorisation from Finansinspektionen to issue mortgages. Usually, mortgage credit companies sell the mortgages to alternative investment funds (AIFs). The AIFs included in the financial markets statistics are linked to mortgage credit companies, and whose assets mainly comprise mortgages.
Growth rates are calculated to illustrate the development of transactions as from the corresponding period the previous year. The rates are calculated based on changes in stocks; adjustments are made so that the growth rate is not affected by stock changes unrelated to transactions, for example if an institute is added or removed from the population.
Lending to households is divided into three categories: housing loans, consumer credit, and other lending. The purpose of a loan is not directly measured, but is approximated by categorising lending by type of collateral. Housing loans are defined as loans to private individuals or entrepreneurial households with housing as collateral. Consumer credit refers to lending to private individuals, generally without collateral. Other lending includes all other lending, for example lending to non-profit institutions serving households.
New agreements refer to agreements concluded during a given month. Interest rate statistics on new agreements is a way of measuring the price formation on loans and deposits in a given period. These statistics include all financial agreements in which the terms and conditions affecting the interest rates on deposits and lending are determined for the first time. The statistics also include renegotiations of existing loans and relocation of loans. Changes in floating interest rates due to automatic adjustments are not considered new agreements.
