New FSI (financial soundness indicators) debt and profitability ratios

Further to the updating of data from the second quarter of 2012, two new ratios (tables 15.24 and 15.25) have been calculated using the methodology laid down by the IMF in its document “Financial Indicator Soundness. Compilation Guide”. These ratios, calculated for the first time using the Integrated CBSO database ( CBI), are sent to the IMF for dissemination by this institution. In addition, the combined data from the CBI, whose series begin in 1995, include, for the first time, figures of small (up to 50 employees) and medium-sized businesses (up to 250 employees) from the Mercantile Registries (CBBE / RM), as shown in Table 15.C.
