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

Shares and other equities
Shares and other equities are all claims, which are fully or partly entitled to a share in profits or in the own funds in case of liquidation. Included is the value of capital formation by the government in public enterprises (quasi-corporations) that belong to the government.
Shares and other equities include:
- Quoted shares
- Unquoted shares and other equities
- Mutual funds shares
Mutual funds shares
Mutual funds shares are shares issued by a specific type of financial corporation, whose exclusive purpose is to invest the funds collected on the money market, the capital market and/or in real estate on behalf of investors.
Insurance technical reserves
Insurance technical reserves consist of all technical provisions of insurance corporations and (autonomous and non-autonomous) pension funds to fulfill their obligations to policy holders or beneficiaries.
Net equity in pension funds reserves
The net equity of households in the pension funds reserves of resident pension funds and life insurance companies is seen as a financial asset that belongs to resident and non-resident households.
The net equity of households in the pension funds reserves is built up as follows:
  actual contributions to pension schemes (gross)
minus:  compensation of insurance services (=consumption)
plus:  supplement from investment income
=  contributions to pension schemes
minus:  pension benefits
plus:  imputed capital transfers
=  net equity of households in pension funds reserves
