a) For the period 1975-1995 there is a residual because some of the lending and deposits where reported undistributed during this period, see 6. Balance sheets. The residual has been distributed to Swedish non-MFI but has not been distributed into any subsector.
b) For housing credit institutions separate information regarding Shares and other equities are missing between 1996-97. Shares and other equities were reported as Other assets during the period.
c) In 1998 the currency was divided into Swedish kronor, Other EU-currencies and Other foreign currencies. From 1999 Other
EU-currencies stands for ”EU-currencies other than SEK and ’Euro and EMU-currencies”. This causes a break in the time series with a decrease from 1999.
d) There is a break in the time series for housing credit institutions between December 1995 and January 1996. The reason for the break is because of two institutions, who earlier where merged, is calculated separately from January 1996.
e) Finance companies’ balance sheet for the period 1975-1979 contains the group funding companies (Sw. Finansieringsföretag) where the population who later became Finance companies represents approximately 95 percent.
f) The Association banks (Sw. Föreningsbanker) are included in the group Banking companies until October 1997.
1) The column "Valuation difference" in table 3 (7.17.1, 7.17.2 and 7.17.3) intends the difference between Table 3 and Table 2. Table 2 contains book value and table 3 contains fair value. Except the difference between book value and fair value, the valuation difference can be due to other effects, for example the difference in currency exchange rates. Different data sources are used for the tables. Table 2 is based on collected information from MFIs whereas data from Statistic Sweden’s Securities statistics is used in table 3. Other possible “valuation differences” are:
- Exchange rate differences that occur if different exchange rates are used for foreign debt securities.
- Delimitation problems between loans and foreign debt securities, for example in private-placements, or between derivatives and foreign debt securities.
2) The column "Valuation difference" in table 1 (7.17.1, 7.17.2 and 7.17.3) refers to the difference between Certificates + Bonds and Total. Certificates and Bonds uses fair value, while Total uses book value. The reason is that different data sources are used. Certificates and Bonds are based on data from Statistics Swedens’ survey Värdepappersinnehav (VINN), while the Total is based on data from Statistics Sweden’s survey Balansstatistik för monetära finansinstitut (MFI). Other possible “valuation differences” are exchange rate differences that occur if different exchange rates are used for foreign debt securities.
