Money and Banking Statistics

The Statistical Appendix is now divided into two parts: • Part 1 is comprised of tables containing data relating to Main Monetary Indicators, Interest Rates Exchange Rates & Balance of Payments, Banking & Other Financial Institutions, Public Finances and Economic Indicators. The data mainly refer to Ireland and are denominated in euro; and • Part 2 contains selected euro-area data which have been published by the European Central Bank (ECB) in its Monthly Bulletin. The layout and design of many tables in Part 1 were changed significantly at the start of EMU in January 1999 and users should exercise caution when comparing these series with earlier data as the underlying definitions may have changed. Detailed definitions of the concepts in each table in Part 1 can be found in the Explanatory Notes on pages 95 to 104. The CBFSAI Quarterly Bulletin and Monthly Statistics are also provided in electronic format on the website: www.centralbank.ie and the ECB Monthly Bulletin is available on the website: www.ecb.int.

a This series excludes transactions between credit institutions and non-MFI IFSC companies and valuation effects arising from exchange-rate movements. b Data relate to residential mortgages as reported on the balance sheets of within-the-State offices of credit institutions, i.e., mortgages extended on a cross-border basis are not included. The total reported above is the same figure as that reported vis-a`-vis Irish residents under Item 5.6 (Assets) of Table C3: Credit Institutions: Aggregate Balance Sheet and so does not include securitised mortgages. c In order to more accurately capture the indebtedness of Irish residents for housing purposes, the level of outstanding securitised mortgages (i.e., the initial amount of the securitisation less all repayments of capital made by the borrowers) has been added to the outstanding level of residential mortgages, giving rise to the adjusted growth rate. In addition, a series of reclassification from term loans to residential mortgages, starting in September 2005, which boosted the level of residential mortgages has been excluded in the calculation of growth rates. The resulting growth rates, shown in the final column, are termed underlying growth rates. d Year-to-Year growth rates between July 2004 and June 2005 were boosted by the transfer of some \2 billion in residential mortgages to an Irish credit institution from its parent institution abroad. In order to give a more accurate picture of developments, these amounts are excluded in the calculation of adjusted growth rates.

Notes: 1. Data relate to residential mortgages as reported on the balance sheets of within-the-State offices of credit institutions, i.e., mortgages extended on a cross-border basis are not included. The total reported above is the same figure as that reported vis-a`-vis Irish residents under item 5.6 (Assets) of Table C3: Credit Institutions: Aggregate Balance Sheet and so does not include securitised mortgages. 2. Variable rate includes fixed rate mortgages of up to and including 1 year. 3. Fixed rate mortgages are classified according to the term over which the interest rate is fixed and not the term of the mortgage, e.g., a 20-year mortgage with a two-year fixed interest rate is included under Fixed Rate: Over 1 and up to 3 years.

Explanatory Notes

The Central Bank of Ireland became the Central Bank & Financial Services Authority of Ireland (the ‘Bank’) on 1 May 2003. However, in order to ensure clarity and continuity in the statistical tables and Explanatory Notes the term ‘Central Bank’ is generally used.

Section A: Main Monetary Indicators Official External Reserves Official external reserves data include a quarterly valuation adjustment. Selected Monetary Aggregates 1. Selected Measures of Private-Sector Credit Private-sector credit of all credit institutions comprises all forms of lending, including accrued interest thereon, by withinthe-State offices of all credit institutions to Irish resident entities other than credit institutions, the Central Bank and the General Government. 2. Monetary Aggregates The Irish contribution to narrow money supply M1, contains two components, namely currency in circulation and overnight deposits. Currency in circulation comprises the Bank’s share of euro banknotes issued in the Eurosystem, in proportion to the Bank’s paid-up shares in the capital of the ECB, plus coin issued by the Central Bank less holdings by within-the-State offices of MFIs of issued euro banknotes and coin. Overnight deposits comprise sight/demand deposits held at within-the-State offices of all credit institutions and the Post Office Savings Bank by Irish and other monetary union resident private-sector entities, i.e., by Irish and other monetary union resident entities other than credit institutions, the Central Bank and Central Government. The Irish contribution to the intermediate money supply M2, comprises M1 plus deposits with an agreed maturity of up to 2 years, deposits with a period of notice of up to 3 months denominated in both euro and foreign currency held at within-the-State offices of all credit institutions and the Post Office Savings Bank, by Irish and other monetary union resident private-sector entities, i.e., by Irish and other monetary union resident entities other than credit institutions, the Central Bank and Central Government. The Irish contribution to the broad money supply M3, covers M2, repurchase agreements and debt securities with a maturity of up to 2 years issued by within-the-State offices of all credit institutions to Irish and other monetary union resident private-sector entities minus holdings by credit institutions of securities issued by euro-area MFIs. It also includes money market fund (MMF) shares/units issued by resident MMFs to Irish and other euro-area residents.

Section B: Interest Rates and Exchange Rates and Balance of Payments Official and Selected Interest Rates Table B1 includes key ECB and money-market interest rates and selected domestic rates, which were previously in Tables B1 and B2. Retail Interest Rates Tables B2.1 and B2.2 show retail interest rates and volumes for outstanding amounts and new business collected under Regulation ECB/2001/18. This regulation provides a framework for collecting harmonised interest-rate data for eurodenominated loans and deposits vis-a`-vis households and non-financial corporations resident in the euro area. Rates are calculated as weighted averages for all products within each instrument category. For all instrument categories except the APRC, the rate relates to the interest component only. The APRC includes the interest component plus any other charges applied by the lending institution.

Trade-Weighted Competitiveness Indicators for Ireland 1. Weights (%) UK (27.66), US (18.31), Germany (16.22), France (9.12), Japan (8.57), Netherlands (5.67), Italy (5.43), Belgium (3.51), Singapore (2.93) and Spain (2.58). 2. Deflators Consumer Prices — Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICP) are used for Ireland and the other EU countries. CPI indices are used for the remaining three countries. Producer Prices — Indices of domestic output prices for manufacturing are used for Ireland, the other EU countries and Japan. The index for finished goods is used for the US while the wholesale index is used for Singapore. Since seasonally-adjusted data are not universally available, non-seasonally adjusted price indices are used. Section C: Banking and Other Financial Institutions Credit Institutions: Monthly Balance-Sheet Statistics 1. Coverage The monthly balance-sheet statistics relate to liabilities and assets, classified on a residency basis in respect of withinthe-State offices. 2. Residency The residency classification is based on the residency of a customer and not on the location of the particular branch in which the account is maintained. Irish residents comprise the General Government, individuals living in the State for at least one year, private non-profit-making bodies, and enterprises, both public and private, that operate within the State. The definition of residency conforms to international balance-of-payments convention. 3. Valuation Unless otherwise specified, all liabilities and assets are recorded at the value standing in reporting institutions’ books (‘‘book value’’) on return dates. In some cases, book value will reflect not only the cash value but also revaluations and internal transfers. All non-euro liabilities and assets, regardless of residency classification, are valued at mid-spot rates on return dates and recorded in the tables as euro equivalents of the amounts outstanding on those days. The valuation of liabilities and assets would not normally include accrued interest payable or receivable on relevant accounts, nor would it include unearned interest or charges. However, where a liability or asset is valued at market price which indistinguishably includes interest, such accrued interest may form part of the valuation; where interest is paid by means of discount (for example, Exchequer Notes), such interest may also be included in book value, if it is the accounting practice of institutions to do so. Other aspects which impinge on the method of measuring various liabilities and assets are the treatment accorded to provisions for bad and doubtful debts, offsets and items in transit. Provision for bad and doubtful debts comprise specific and general provisions and interest suspense accounts. These are defined in accordance with a provision in the Companies Act, 1963, and have been deducted from the loans to which they refer. Offsets: Certain credit and debit balances, which satisfy precise conditions specified by the Central Bank have been offset. Items in transit: Credit institutions’ current accounts and overdrafts have been adjusted for net debit items in transit by deducting 60 per cent of the figure from current accounts and adding 40 per cent to overdrafts. 4. Monetary Financial Institutions Credit institutions, as defined in Community Law, and all other resident financial institutions whose business is to receive deposits and/or close substitutes for deposits from entities other than monetary financial institutions (MFIs), and, for their own account (at least in economic terms), to grant credits and/or make investments in securities.

96

Quarterly Bulletin 1 2007

5. Credit Institutions The definition of credit institutions corresponds with that of the EEC First Banking Directive. In the Irish case, resident credit institutions comprise licensed banks and building societies. 6. Government entities 6.1 General Government comprises all institutional units under public control that are principally engaged in: i) the production of goods and services not usually sold on a market; and/or ii) the redistribution of national income and wealth. They are mainly financed by compulsory payments by the population. General Government is sub-divided as follows: (i) central government: all administrative departments, agencies, foundations, institutes and similar state bodies, whose competence extends over the whole economic territory. (ii) other general government comprises state/regional government (institutional units exercising some of the functions of government at a level below central government but above local government); local government (administrative department, agencies etc. whose competence covers only a restricted part of the economic territory; and social security funds (schemes whose principal objective is to provide social benefits to the population). The Irish Central Government includes all government departments, the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) and the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB). 7. Other resident (non-Government) entities Other resident (non-Government) entities are personal and corporate clients, credit unions, commercial State-sponsored bodies, hire-purchase and other finance companies. They do not include the Central Bank, the General Government or credit institutions. 8. All Credit Institutions: Aggregate Balance Sheet — Liabilities 8.1 Capital and reserves comprise all capital (including capital contributions, i.e., payments into the reserves of a reporting institution by its parent for no consideration, which are not repayable except at the option of the reporting institution), reserves (except taxation reserve), accumulated retained profits, preference shares and subordinated loan capital, including floating rate notes. 8.2 Deposits from credit institutions and other MFIs (excluding Central Bank) comprise all funds placed with reporting institutions by monetary financial institutions.

(i) Overnight accounts comprise demand deposits, including those bearing interest, which are transferable by cheque or electronic equivalent, and suspense accounts. This item is reported net of the adjustment for items in transit, as defined in item 3. (ii) Agreed maturity comprise non-transferable deposits which cannot be converted into currency before that agreed fixed term or which can only be converted into currency before that agreed term provided that the account holder is charged some kind of penalty.

97

Quarterly Bulletin 1 2007

(iii) Notice comprise deposits which are without any agreed maturity and cannot be converted into currency without a period of prior notice, before which the conversion into cash is not possible or possible only with a penalty. (iv) Repurchase agreements comprise funds received as part of ‘repo-like’ agreements. These agreements involve the receipt of cash by the reporting institution in exchange for securities with a simultaneous commitment to reverse the transaction at a future date. ‘Repo-like’ agreements include genuine repos, sale and buy-backs, and securities lending agreements with cash collateral. 8.6 Debt securities issued comprise funds received in exchange for non-equity debt securities issued by the reporting institution. Such instruments are usually negotiable and traded on secondary markets, and do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. All non-equity bearer securities which have been issued by the reporting institution are reported here, e.g., all commercial paper, certificates of deposit, notes and bonds which have been issued by the reporting institution to non-Government entities or in bearer form. 8.7 Remaining liabilities are the sum of all other liabilities of credit institutions. These include accrued interest payable, taxation provisions and reserves, sundry credit items such as: accrued expenses or net credit balances on accounts relating to the operating costs of the reporting institution such as salaries, wages, rent, rates, stationery, heating and lighting, insurance, stamp duty, PAYE, VAT, etc.; any gross credit balances on impersonal accounts not relating to customers’ funds; any leasing rentals paid in advance by customers; any commissions and any net liability to nonresident offices. 9. All Credit Institutions: Aggregate Balance Sheet — Assets 9.1 Holdings of notes and coin comprise holdings of cash at branches and at the head office of the reporting institution. Cash in transit between branches and head office and cash held in ATMs are included. 9.2 Loans to credit institutions and other MFIs (excluding Central Bank) comprise all funds placed by reporting institutions with monetary financial institutions. It includes: current accounts, money market deposits and other term deposits of the reporting institution with MFIs. 9.3 Balances with Central Bank comprise any deposit which the reporting institution must maintain with the Central Bank of Ireland pursuant to the European Communities (Deposit Guarantee Schemes) Regulations, 1995 and funds placed by reporting institutions in their reserve requirement deposit accounts. It also includes discretionary term deposits, overnight and current/settlement account balances and any special supplementary deposits which reporting institutions have been requested to place with the European Systems of Central Banks or other central banks. 9.4 Loans to General Government comprise credit extended by credit institutions to General Government including advances under revolving credit facilities. 9.5 Loans to other residents comprise all forms of lending, i.e., funds lent by the reporting institution which are not evidenced by negotiable documents, to resident entities, as defined in item 7.

All loans are reported net of any provisions for bad and doubtful debts and net of any unearned interest and charges. (i) Overdrafts comprise utilised facilities granted by way of accommodation to clients on accounts which show frequent fluctuations between debit and credit balances. Such facilities are usually negotiated for a period of one year and are repayable on demand. Only debit balances are reported here. This item is reported net of the adjustment for items in transit, as defined in item 3.

98

Quarterly Bulletin 1 2007

(ii) Repurchase agreements comprise funds advanced under ‘reverse repo-like’ agreements. These agreements involve the lending of cash by the reporting institution in exchange for securities with a simultaneous commitment to reverse the transaction at a future date. ‘Reverse repo-like’ agreements include genuine reverse repos, buy and sell-backs, and securities borrowing agreements with cash collateral. (iii) Loans up to and including one year comprises loans, other than overdraft facilities, with an original maturity of up to and including one year. Any loans to resident entities, as defined in item 7, at a money-market rate and with an original maturity of up to and including one year are reported here. (iv) Term/revolving loans comprise loans which are repayable by negotiated amounts and which at the time when they were originally contracted (or renegotiated if applicable) had a maturity in excess of one year; loans to resident entities, as defined in item 7, at a money-market rate and with an original maturity of more than one year; loans which are rolled over after specified periods under loan agreements which at the time of original contraction (or renegotiation if applicable) are for periods in excess of one year; instalment-credit type financing with fixed monthly repayments whereby, as the monthly payment reduces the amount outstanding on the loan, the borrower may obtain further advances by topping up to his credit limit without increasing the amount of his monthly payment; and aggregate amount of net indebtedness of credit-card holders arising from the usage of credit cards. (v) Instalment-credit/Hire-purchase/Leases comprise agreements where the amount borrowed is repayable with interest by equal instalments over an agreed period. In the case of hire-purchase agreements ownership remains with the reporting institution until the customer has paid the required number of instalments and exercised his right to purchase the goods. In the case of instalment-credit agreements ownership of the goods passes to the customer from the supplier, with the reporting institution making its advance on the completion of the documentation. Unearned interest and charges are not included. In the case of leases, the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to the leasee. It is presumed that such a transfer of risks and rewards occurs if at the inception of the lease the present value of minimum lease payments, including any initial payment, amounts to substantially all (90 per cent or more) of the fair value of the leased asset. Unearned interest and charges are not included. (vi) Residential mortgages comprise lending to private individuals for house purchase, repair, development or improvement, secured by a mortgage on the property which is or will be occupied by the borrower or which the borrower will rent out for residential purposes. This includes mortgages, for example, for holiday or second homes. ‘Top up’ mortgages or ‘equity release’ mortgages, whereby a mortgage is increased to allow funds to be used for purposes other than purchase of residential property are not included. Such mortgages are reported under Other Mortgages. (vii) Other mortgages comprise commercial mortgages and all other loans secured by mortgage on property, other than those mentioned above. (viii) Other loans and securities issued comprises all other forms of lending by credit institutions to non-Government entities. 9.6 Holdings of securities comprise funds lent in exchange for non-equity debt securities. Such instruments are usually negotiable and traded on secondary markets, and do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. The category Issued by general government includes Exchequer Notes and other government Securities (stock) held by credit institutions, including any government securities lent by reporting institutions as part of sale and repurchase agreements or securities lending agreements. 9.7 Shares and other equity comprise holdings of securities which represent property rights in corporations. These securities generally entitle the holders to a share in profits of the corporation or share in their own funds in the event of liquidation.

9.8 Fixed assets comprise premises, equipment, furniture, fixtures and fittings, company cars, etc., owned by reporting institutions for their own use. These assets are reported net of accumulated depreciation. 9.9 Remaining assets are the sum of all other assets of credit institutions. These include accrued interest receivable, sundry debit items such as: prepayments or debit balances on operating accounts of the reporting institution such as salaries, wages, rent, rates, stationery, heating and lighting, insurance, stamp duty, PAYE, VAT, etc.; any net claim on non-resident offices. 10. Retail Clearing Institutions: Aggregate Balance Sheet The items reported in this balance sheet consist of the items defined for all credit institutions, reported for retail clearing institutions only. 11. Non-Retail Clearing Institutions with Predominantly Domestic Business: Aggregate Balance Sheet The items reported in this balance sheet consist of the items defined for all credit institutions, reported for non-clearing institutions with predominantly domestic business only. 12. Non-Retail Clearing Institutions with Predominantly Foreign Business: Aggregate Balance Sheet The items reported in this balance sheet consist of the items defined for all credit institutions, reported for non-retail clearing institutions with predominantly foreign business only. 13. Mortgage Lenders: Aggregate Balance Sheet The items reported in this balance sheet consist of the items defined for all credit institutions, reported for mortgage lenders only. 14. All Credit Institutions: Selected Off-Balance-Sheet Business Derivative Contracts Single-Currency Interest-Rate-Related Derivative Contracts All derivative contracts recorded here are based on interest rates which are denominated in a single currency. All such contracts are recorded here even if they are hedged or matched by other transactions. Forward Rate Agreements A Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) is an interest-rate agreement based on a notional principal amount under which a buyer and seller agree to exchange the difference between the current interest rate and a pre-agreed fixed rate, struck on the transaction date of the FRA, for a specified future period (e.g., 3 months), starting at the settlement date (e.g., 6 months from the transaction date). No principal changes hands — only the difference between the rate prevailing on the settlement date and the agreed rate is paid/received at the settlement date. If rates have risen, then at settlement the purchaser of the FRA receives the difference in rates from the seller. If they have fallen, the seller receives the difference from the buyer. Swaps — The amount recorded here is the notional principal (or ‘nominal value’) of the swap. If a swap involves exchanging interest on a notional principal of euro equivalent 1 million, the swap is reported as having a nominal value of euro equivalent 1 million. Swaps — Fixed/Floating A contract where the reporting institution has agreed to pay to its counterparty a fixed-rate interest stream based on a notional principal over a specified period of time in exchange for a floating-rate interest stream on that same notional principal. Only contracts where both interest streams are denominated in the same currency are recorded here. The principal is not exchanged either at the beginning or end of the transaction and the contract is settled by the periodic exchange of the net interest flow between the counterparties.

Swaps — Floating/Fixed A contract where the reporting institution has agreed to pay to its counterparty a floating-rate interest stream based on a notional principal over a specified period of time in exchange for a fixed-rate interest stream on that same notional principal. Only contracts where both interest streams are denominated in the same currency are recorded here. The principal is not exchanged either at the beginning or end of the transaction and the contract is settled by the periodic exchange of the net interest flow between the counterparties. Swaps — Floating/Floating A contract where the reporting institution has agreed to pay to its counterparty a floating-rate interest stream based on a notional principal over a specified period of time in exchange for a floating-rate interest stream (based on a different reference rate) on that same notional principal. This is sometimes called a basis swap. Only contracts where both interest streams are denominated in the same currency are recorded here. The principal is not exchanged either at the beginning or end of the transaction and the contract is settled by the periodic exchange of the net interest flow between the counterparties. Options — The amount recorded here is the notional principal underlying the option. For example, if the option allows the reporting institution to lock into an interest rate of 7 per cent calculated on a notional principal of \1 million, the option is recorded here as \1 million. Options — Bought (Purchased) An interest-rate option contract purchased by the reporting institution which gives it the right (but not the obligation) to lock into a predetermined interest rate either at a fixed point in the future (European style) or at a time chosen by the reporting institution up to the maturity of the option (American style). If the reporting institution has bought a swaption which gives it an option on a single-currency interest-rate swap, it is recorded here until the swaption has been exercised. Options — Sold (Written) An interest-rate option contract in which the reporting institution is required to carry out the terms of the contract if called upon by the option holder, thus enabling the option holder to lock into a predetermined interest rate either at a fixed point in the future (European style) or at a time chosen by the option holder up to the maturity of the option (American style). Futures — An interest-rate futures contract is an exchange-traded contract in which the parties agree to pay/receive a specified rate of interest on a specified amount for a specified period, starting at some future date. The reference rate may be short-term, typically based on a 3-month Treasury Bill or interbank rate, or longer-term, based on five-year, tenyear or twenty-year bonds. The total nominal amount of all contracts sold is reported. Futures — Bought (Purchased) A purchaser of a contract agrees to receive an interest rate (which is equivalent to placing a deposit or purchasing a bond). Therefore, interest-rate futures contracts are recorded here if the reporting institution has agreed to receive an interest rate. Futures — Sold A seller of a contract agrees to pay an interest rate (receive a deposit or sell a bond). Therefore, interest-rate futures contracts are recorded here if the reporting institution has agreed to pay an interest rate.

Cross-Currency Interest-Rate-Related Derivative Contracts All derivative contracts recorded here are based on interest rates but should also have exposure to more than one currency (for example, an interest-rate swap where the pay-leg is denominated in a different currency to the receiveleg). All such contracts are recorded here even if they are hedged or matched by other transactions. Note that currency swaps whereby fixed interest-rate payments in one currency are exchanged for fixed interest-rate payments in another currency are not recorded here. These are recorded under ‘Other FX-Related: Currency Swaps’. Swaps — The amount recorded here is the ‘nominal value’ of the swap. If the swap involves exchanging interest payments based on a principal of euro equivalent 1 million, the swap is reported as having a nominal value of euro equivalent 1 million. Swaps — Fixed/Floating Cross-currency interest-rate swaps are reported here. These are contracts where the reporting institution has agreed to pay to its counterparty a stream of fixed-rate interest payments denominated in one currency over a specified period of time in exchange for a stream of floating-rate interest payments denominated in another currency. Swaps — Floating/Fixed Cross-currency interest-rate swaps are reported here. These are contracts where the reporting institution has agreed to pay to its counterparty a stream of floating-rate interest payments denominated in one currency over a specified period of time in exchange for a stream of fixed-rate interest payments denominated in another currency. Swaps — Floating/Floating This is a pay floating/receive floating interest-rate swap with payments denominated in different currencies. It is sometimes referred to as a cross-currency basis swap. This category also includes interest-rate basis swaps in which the buyer pays an interest rate in one currency (e.g., EURIBOR) and receives a second currency’s interest rate (e.g., LIBOR) plus or minus a spread with all payment streams denominated in the same currency. Although these swaps are sometimes referred to as Currency-Protected Swaps, the swap participant is still exposed to the correlation between interest rates and exchange rates. Other Any other derivative contracts based on interest-rates but which also have exposure to more than one currency and which have not been included above are recorded here. Other FX-Related Contracts are recorded here if they represent derivative contracts based on foreign-exchange (FX) rates. All such contracts are recorded here even if they are hedged or matched by other transactions. Forward Foreign Exchange Purchased This category concerns all contracts whereby the reporting institution agrees to purchase a specified amount of one currency against another at a fixed future date at an agreed exchange rate. It is recorded here according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to purchase. — Outright Forwards Some forward foreign-exchange (FX) purchases may be carried out with a corresponding simultaneous spot sale of that currency. Such transactions are called FX Swaps. Only those forward FX purchases that are not FX Swaps are recorded here. These are referred to as ‘Outright’ Forwards. They are recorded here according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to purchase.

— FX Swaps Some forward foreign-exchange (FX) purchases may be carried out with a corresponding simultaneous spot sale of that currency. Such transactions are called FX Swaps. They are recorded according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to purchase. Forward Foreign Exchange Sold This category concerns all contracts whereby the reporting institution agrees to sell a specified amount of one currency against another at a fixed future date at an agreed exchange rate. It is recorded here according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to sell. — Outright Forwards Some forward foreign-exchange (FX) sales may be carried out with a corresponding simultaneous spot purchase of that currency. Such transactions are called FX Swaps. Only those forward FX sales that are not FX Swaps are recorded here. These are referred to as ‘Outright’ Forwards. They are recorded here according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to sell. — FX Swaps Some forward foreign-exchange (FX) sales may be carried out with a corresponding simultaneous spot purchase of that currency. Such transactions are called FX Swaps. They are recorded according to the euro equivalent value of the specified amount of the currency that the reporting institution has agreed to sell. Currency Swaps A contract whereby fixed interest payments in one currency are exchanged for fixed interest payments in another currency. This is equivalent to a ‘pay fixed/receive fixed’ cross-currency interest-rate swap. There is normally a final exchange of principal and often an initial exchange of principal. A currency swap is recorded here according to its ‘nominal value’. If the swap involves exchanging interest payments based on a principal of euro equivalent 1 million, the swap should be reported as having a nominal value of euro equivalent 1 million. Currency Options — The amount recorded here is the notional principal underlying the option. For example, if the option allows the reporting institution to buy a certain amount of foreign currency in exchange for \1 million, the option should be recorded here as \1 million. Currency Options — Purchased An option contract purchased by the reporting institution which gives it the right (but not the obligation) to buy a predetermined amount of a set currency at a set exchange rate either at a fixed point in the future (European style) or at a time chosen by the reporting institution up to the maturity of the option (American style). Currency Options — Written A currency option contract in which the writer is required to carry out the terms of the contract if called upon by the option holder, thus enabling the option holder to buy a predetermined amount of a set currency at a set exchange rate either at a fixed point in the future (European style) or at a time chosen by the reporting institution up to the maturity of the option (American style). Other All other derivative contracts based on foreign-exchange (FX) rates and which have not been included above are recorded here.

a From 1 January 1999 to 9 March 2004, the date refers to the deposit and marginal lending facilities. For main refinancing operations, changes in the rate are effective from the first operation following the date indicated. The change on 18 September 2001 was effective on that same day. From 10 March 2004 onwards, the date refers to the deposit and marginal lending facilities and to the main refinancing operations (changes effective from the first main refinancing operation following the Governing Council discussion), unless otherwise indicated. b On 8 June 2000 the ECB announced that, starting from the operation to be settled on 28 June 2000, the main refinancing operations of the Eurosystem would be conducted as variable rate tenders. The minimum bid rate refers to the minimum interest rate at which counterparties may place their bids. Source: European Central Bank Monthly Bulletin (December, 2006).

a The amounts shown may differ slightly from those in Table 1.1, due to operations allotted but not settled. b With effect from April 2002, split tender operations, i.e. operations with one-week maturity conducted as standard tenders in parallel with a main refinancing operation, are classified as main refinancing operations. For split tender operations conducted before this month, see Table 1.3.3. c In liquidity-providing (absorbing) operations, the marginal rate refers to the lowest (highest) rate at which bids are accepted. d See footnote c to Table 1.2.

a Liabilities vis-a`-vis other credit institutions subject to ESCB’s minimum reserve system, the ECB and participating national central banks, are excluded from the reserve base. If a credit institution cannot provide evidence of the amount of its issues of debt securities with a maturity of up to two years held by the institutions mentioned above, it may deduct a certain percentage of these liabilities from its reserve base. This percentage was 10% for calculating the reserve base until November 1999, and 30% thereafter. b Until December 2003, the maintenance periods started on the 24th calendar day of a month and ran to the 23rd of the following month. On 23 January 2003 the ECB announced changes to the operational framework, which will be implemented on 10 March 2004. As a result of these changes, maintenance periods will start on the settlement day of the main refinancing operation (MRO) following the Governing Council meeting at which the monthly asessment of the monetary stance is scheduled. A transitional maintenance period has been defined to cover the period from 24 January to 9 March 2004. c This table contains average data for completed maintenance periods. d The amount of the reserve requirement of each individual credit institution is first calculated by applying the reserve ratio for the corresponding categories of liabilities to the eligible liabilities, using the balance sheet data from the end of each calendar month. Subsequently, each credit institution deducts from this figure a lump sum allowance of \100,000. The resulting required reserves are then aggregated at the euro area level. g Aggregate average daily current account holdings of credit institutions, including those that serve the fulfilment of reserve requirements. h Average current account holdings over the maintenance period in excess of the required reserves. i Average shortfalls of current account holdings from required reserves over the maintenance period, computed on the basis of those credit institutions that have not fulfilled their reserve requirement. j This rate equals the average, over the maintenance period, of the ECB’s rate (weighted according to the number of calendar days) on the Eurosystem’s main refinancing operations (see Table 1.3).

a The ECB was established on 1 June 1998. The data shown for the Eurosystem relate to the ECB (as from June 1998) and the national central banks of Member States in the euro area. b Data have been revised in the light of new information. c Since the end of November 2000, balances arising from the TARGET system are netted by novation on a daily basis. This implies that the bilateral positions of each NCB vis-a`-vis the ECB and other NCBs have been replaced by a single net bilateral position vis-a`-vis the ECB. For the TARGET gross end-month positions in 1999 and in 2000 (January to October), see the corresponding footnote in the February 2000 and December 2000 issues of the ECB Monthly Bulletin. d Amounts held by euro area residents. g Amounts issued with maturity up to two years held by non-euro area residents are included in external liabilities.
