Assets

Assets are possessions of households. Up to and including 2010 these data concern the households sector including the non-profit institutions serving households. From 2011 onwards these NPISH are no longer included.

Fin. derivatives, employee stock options

Financial derivatives are financial instruments linked to a specified financial instrument or indicator or commodity, through which specific financial risks can be traded in financial markets in their own right. Financial derivatives meet the following conditions:
- they are linked to a financial or non-financial asset, to a group of assets, or to an index;
- they are either negotiable or can be offset on the market; and
- no principal amount is advanced to be repaid.
The financial derivatives include options and forwards (warrants, futures, swaps and forward rate agreements). Forwards are recorded net on the assets side of the balance sheets, financial transactions and other changes, meaning that no liabilities are presented but only net assets. The outstanding positions can therefore have a negative value.

Employee stock options are agreements made on a given date under which an employee has the right to purchase a given number of shares of the employer's stock at a stated price either at a stated time or within a period of time immediately following the vesting date.

Liabilities

Liabilities are debts of households. Up to and including 2010 these data concern the households sector including the non-profit institutions serving households. From 2011 onwards these NPISH are no longer included.

Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are objects which represent an economic value, on which property rights can be exerted and which do not have a financial character. In practice, this includes approximately all (non-financial) objects which can be sold. Examples of objects which cannot be sold are the sea and the air. Examples of assets which have a financial character are stocks and pensions. Non-financial assets consist of fixed assets, inventories, land and oil and gas reserves and consumer durables.
The data relate to households including non-profit institutions serving households.

Dwellings

Buildings used entirely or primarily as residences, including any associated structures, such as garages and all permanent fixtures customarily installed in residences. Houseboats, barges, mobile homes and caravans used as principal residences of households are also included, so are public monuments identified primarily as dwellings. Costs of site clearance and preparation are also included. Examples include residential buildings, such as one and two-dwelling buildings and other residential buildings intended for non-transient occupancy. Uncompleted dwellings are included to the extent that the ultimate user is deemed to have taken ownership, either because the construction is on own account or as evidenced by the existence of a contract of sale/purchase. Dwellings acquired for military personnel are included because they are used, so are dwellings acquired by civilian units for the production of housing services. The value of land underlying dwellings is included and costs of ownership transfers on land underlying dwellings is included.
The data relate to households including non-profit institutions serving households.

Land underlying dwellings

Land underlying buildings that are used entirely or primarily as residences, including any associated structures, such as garages and all permanent fixtures customarily installed in residences. The value of the land underlying dwellings is defined as the difference between the value of the total real estate (land and buildings) and the value of the structures.
