This table presents financial transactions, other changes in assets and financial balance sheets of the (sub)sectors of the national economy. The data provide a detailed overview of the changes to the financial relations between sectors and with the rest of the world. The financial flows are a logical extension of the current and capital accounts within sector accounts.
The financial balance sheets present outstanding assets and liabilities at the beginning and at the end of a period. Both financial transactions and other changes reflect the changes in value of these assets and liabilities during a particular period. These changes could be the result of agreements between parties (transactions) or the result of other causes such as revaluations (other changes). Balance sheets, financial transactions and other changes are related: Closing balance sheets last period (=opening balance sheets current period) plus financial transactions current period plus other changes current period = closing balance sheets of current period.

Data of the financial balance sheets, financial transactions and other changes are available for the main sectors of the economy: non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households including non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) and the rest of the world. The sectors financial corporations and general government are broken down into subsectors. Assets and liabilities are broken down into a variety of financial instruments.

Description topics

Securities other than shares
Securities other than shares consists of all securities that are bearer instruments, are usually negotiable and traded on secondary markets or can be offset on the market, and do not grant the holder any ownership rights in the institutional units issuing them.
Bills and short-term bonds
Bills and short-term bonds are all securities with a maximum term of one year, which in principle are transferable against a price that has been fixed in advance. Usually, the obliged interest payments of the debtor have been discounted in the value. 'Transferable' means that assets can be converted into cash from, or on a date that has been appointed at the moment the bond was issued.
This transaction covers treasury paper issued by both the Dutch government and foreign governments, saving certificates to bearer and transferable certificates of deposits, issued by banks.
Long-term bonds
Long-term bonds are all transferable securities, which generally do not mature within one year. They are usually quoted at the stock exchange. The interest on long-term bonds is made payable through coupons. Mortgage bonds, notes issued by banks and convertible bonds as long as they have not been converted into shares, also belong to this type of assets.
