Changes in the tables of financial corporations statistics

December

The design of the table "7.13 Banco de España balance sheet. Summary by sector" has been altered so as better to adhere to the requirements laid down in the IMF’s Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS). The breakdowns deleted from the table are available in other tables in the same chapter.

October

As a result of the enactment of Circular 5/2012 of 27 June 2012 on the transparency of banking services and responsible lending, the information in tables 19.1 and 19.2 of this Bulletin, relating to official and unofficial mortgage market reference rates, is to be changed.

September

The figure of net profit (column 6) (following the same criterion of the tables in Chapter 4) includes the sum of the profit or loss of each deposit-taking institution taken individually. This figure is highly influenced by the segregation process of the savings banks' banking business to newly-created banks. Given that a significant portion of the shares of these new banks are part of the savings banks' investment portfolio, the results recorded by the banks to which the business has been transferred, are transmitted to savings banks' results, amplifying the figure of aggregate net profit (or loss) of the deposit-taking institutions as a whole. In order to facilitate interpretation of the amount of net profit (column 6), the quantity of said net profit which is due to impairment losses on investments has been added as a memorandum item (column 13).

As from the current September 2012 edition of the Boletín Estadístico, the information in this table is extended to cover the breakdown of deposits of securitisation special purpose entities and that of central counterparties.
