Description topics

Long-term investments
Interest-bearing investments
Mortgage loans
Loans secured by property. Mortgage loans are subdivided according to the security. This is similar to the subdivision of direct property, but residential buildings, offices and shops are combined in one item.
Long-term loans
Loans with a maturity of at least 1 year excluding mortgage loans.
Short-term investments
Short-term loans
Loans with a maturity of 1 year at the most. Some examples are: overnight loans, advance loans, current accounts. Short-term assets on monetary financial institutions (institutions that receive currency and deposits, and because of that are decisive for the magnitude of money) are classified as deposits, not as loans.
