The decrease was driven by the exogenous CPI components, whose disinflationary

reported for 2018 are not comparable with the data series recorded prior to this moment.
Annual data for economy-wide number of employees and average earnings are taken from the
Earnings and labour cost bulletin, published by the NIS.
CORE1 is the core inflation measure that reflects changes in market prices; CORE1 is calculated
based on the overall CPI excluding administered prices.
CORE2 is the core inflation measure that reflects changes in market prices with relatively low
volatility; CORE2 is calculated based on the headline CPI excluding administered prices and highly
volatile prices (vegetables, fruit, eggs, fuels).
The adjusted CORE2 is the core inflation measure that excludes from the headline CPI a number of
prices on which monetary policy (via aggregate demand management) has limited or no influence:
administered prices, volatile prices (vegetables, fruit, eggs and fuels), prices of tobacco products
and alcoholic beverages, as well as prices of electricity and natural gas (the latter are no longer
administered in 2021-2022).
The annual data on core inflation measures are based on NBR calculations.
The harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) is obtained based on the Eurostat methodology
(2015 = 100).
The volume of open market operations performed by the NBR is shown as daily averages for both
transactions performed in the reported period (flows) and their balance (stocks). The average
interest rate in the reporting month is calculated as an arithmetic mean (weighted by the volume
of transactions) of interest rates on flow/stock operations.
3.2. Standing facilities granted by the National Bank of Romania to eligible counterparties
The NBR’s standing facilities (lending and deposit facilities) are resorted to by eligible counterparties
at their initiative.
The interest rate on the marginal lending facility is the rate at which eligible counterparties are
granted overnight liquidity. The interest rate on the marginal deposit facility is the rate at which
eligible counterparties may place excess liquidity with the NBR at the end of the day (overnight).
The calculation base for the MRR is the daily average (for the observation period) of the outstanding
leu- and foreign currency-denominated liabilities in banks’ balance sheets (except for interbank
liabilities, financial obligations to the NBR and equity capital). The observation period and the
maintenance period come in succession and last one month each; the observation period starts
on the 24th of the previous month and ends on the 23rd of the current month. Minimum reserve
requirement ratios may vary by currency and residual maturity of the items included in the
calculation base (below or over 2 years). MRR are provisioned as daily average of holdings in the
NBR accounts during the maintenance period.
3.4. Leu-denominated government securities purchased by the NBR on the secondary market
4. Reserve money
Data for preparing monetary indicators are reported in accordance with the provisions of Regulation
(EU) 2021/379 of the European Central Bank of 22 January 2021 on the balance sheet items of credit
institutions and of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2021/2), implemented by
the National Bank of Romania into Chapter II of Title I of NBR Regulation No. 4/2021 on reporting
statistical data and information to the National Bank of Romania.
Until December 2021, data on monetary indicators were reported in accordance with the provisions
of Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank of 24 September 2013 concerning
the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2013/33), implemented
by the National Bank of Romania into Chapter II of Title I of NBR Regulation No. 4/2014, as subsequently
amended and supplemented.
Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on money market funds and that issue shares or
units which are close substitutes for deposits as referred to in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation
(EU) 2021/379 of the European Central Bank of 22 January 2021 on the balance sheet items of credit
institutions and of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2021/2).
In the monetary balance sheets of monetary financial institutions, the accrued interest receivable/
payable related to financial assets and liabilities is recorded under remaining assets/remaining
liabilities.
The aggregate monetary balance sheet of other monetary financial institutions includes on-balance
sheet assets and liabilities of MFI credit institutions (having the meaning referred to in Article 4(1)
point 1(a) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on
prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation
(EU) No 648/2012, as subsequently amended and supplemented), money market funds, as well as
electronic money institutions.
5.3. Net consolidated balance sheet of monetary financial institutions (NBR and other
monetary financial institutions)
The net consolidated balance sheet of monetary financial institutions shows the aggregation of
the National Bank of Romania’s monetary balance sheet with that of other monetary financial
institutions (credit institutions, money market funds and electronic money institutions), in which
the relations within and between these institutional sectors were considered on a net basis.
Narrow money (M1) comprises currency in circulation (banknotes and coins) plus overnight deposits
(deposits immediately convertible into cash or used for making payments via bank transfer).
Intermediate money (M2) comprises M1 plus deposits with an agreed maturity of up to two years
and deposits redeemable at notice of up to three months.
Broad money (M3) comprises M2 plus marketable instruments issued by monetary financial
institutions, money market instruments, in particular money market fund shares/units and
borrowings from repurchase agreements (their highly liquid nature makes of these instruments
close substitutes for deposits).
Broad money M3 counterparts are net foreign assets and net domestic assets.
Net foreign assets are calculated by subtracting foreign liabilities from foreign assets. Foreign assets
include: loans to non-residents; deposits placed with non-residents; holdings of debt securities
issued by non-residents; shares and other equity issued by non-residents; monetary gold. Foreign
liabilities include funds taken from non-residents: deposits, debt securities issued on external
markets. Starting with December 2014, SDR allocations from the IMF are included under foreign
liabilities, in line with the new international statistical standards (ESA 2010).
Net domestic assets are calculated by subtracting domestic liabilities (except for M3 components)
from domestic assets.
Domestic assets include: loans to residents; holdings of debt securities issued by residents; shares
and other equity issued by residents. Domestic liabilities (except for M3 components) include
funds taken from residents: deposits with an agreed maturity of over two years (including deposits
redeemable at notice of over three months), tradable debt securities with a maturity of over two
years issued on the domestic market, capital and reserves.
Data on the assets and liabilities of non-MMF investment funds are published in terms of aggregate
monthly stocks. Monthly changes in stocks may be the result of financial transactions, revaluations
due to price and exchange rate movements or reclassifications and other statistical adjustments.
In the statistics of assets and liabilities of non-MMF investment funds, the accrued interest
receivable/payable on loans and deposits is recorded under remaining assets/remaining liabilities.
The value of debt securities held includes the related claim. Indicators related to households also
include non-profit institutions serving households.
The types of instruments representing assets and liabilities of non-MMF investment funds, as well
as the classification of their counterpart by institutional sector, are fully harmonised with the
methodology under the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010).
Interest rates are calculated as an arithmetic mean of annualised rates weighted by the outstanding
amounts of loans/deposits at the end of the reported month or by the new loan/deposit contracts
during the reported month.
The calculation base of interest rates on outstanding loans at the end of the reported month does
not include non-performing loans and loans for debt restructuring granted at below market rates.
The calculation base of lending rates on new business does not include overdrafts, revolving credit,
claims related to credit cards, non-performing loans and loans for debt restructuring granted at
below market rates.
The outstanding loans and deposits at the end of the reported month as well as the volume of new
loan/deposit contracts in the reported month do not include the accrued interest receivable/payable.
The annualised rate is the interest rate agreed between the credit institution and the customer for a
deposit or loan, converted to an annual basis and quoted in percentages per annum.
Pursuant to the Regulation, interest rates are calculated for the following institutional sectors:
non-financial corporations, households and non-profit institutions serving households (indicators
related to households also include non-profit institutions serving households), as well as for the
following balance sheet items: loans (total), overdrafts, revolving credit, claims related to (extended
and opportunity) credit cards, housing loans, consumer credit, other lending (including also
business development loans granted to freelancers and family associations), overnight deposits,
deposits redeemable at notice, time deposits and repo agreements.
For this purpose, pursuant to Article 92(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, institutions shall calculate
their capital ratios as follows: (a) the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is the Common Equity Tier 1
capital of the institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount; (b) the Tier 1
capital ratio is the Tier 1 capital of the institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure
amount; (c) the total capital ratio (previously known as the solvency ratio) is the own funds of the
institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount.
The leverage ratio measures to what extent credit institutions’ own funds cover the funding of their
business and it is calculated based on the methodology laid down in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013,
as an institution’s capital measure (Tier 1 capital) divided by that institution’s total exposure measure
(the sum of the exposure values of all assets and off-balance sheet items not deducted when
determining the capital measure). Once Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014
entered into force, the leverage ratio was included in the reporting statements in compliance with
the said technical standards and is reported accordingly by credit institutions.
Starting with January 2012, in view of the harmonisation of the chart of accounts and the financial
and prudential reporting system with the new rules required by the switch to the IFRS, certain
loan portfolio quality indicators determined based on financial statements (whose numerator
represented “past-due and doubtful claims”) could no longer be calculated and were therefore
replaced by the following indicators: (i) impaired loans to non-bank clients (net value)/total
non-bank loan portfolio (net value); (ii) impaired loans to non-bank clients (net value)/total assets
(net value) and (iii) impaired loans to non-bank clients (net value)/total liabilities.
The non-performing loan ratio is the key loan portfolio quality indicator.
According to the EBA regulations on reporting non-performing exposures and Regulation (EU)
2021/451, implemented at national level via NBR Order No. 9/2017 approving the Methodological
Norms on the FINREP reporting framework at solo level, in compliance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards, applicable to credit institutions for prudential purposes,
non-performing exposures are those listed under Article 47a paragraph 3 of CRR, as follows:
(a) an exposure in respect of which a default is considered to have occurred in accordance with
Article 178;
(b) an exposure which is considered to be impaired in accordance with the applicable accounting
framework;
(c) an exposure under probation pursuant to paragraph 7, where additional forbearance measures
are granted or where the exposure becomes more than 30 days past due;
(d) an exposure in the form of a commitment that, were it drawn down or otherwise used, would
likely not be paid back in full without realisation of collateral;
(e) an exposure in form of a financial guarantee that is likely to be called by the guaranteed party,
including where the underlying guaranteed exposure meets the criteria to be considered as
non-performing.
According to NBR Order No. 9/2017, the “non-performing loan ratio as defined by the EBA” is
calculated as the ratio of gross non-performing loans and advances (Form F18.00, lines 005, 070, 191
and 221, column 60) to total gross loans and advances (gross carrying amount) (Form F18.00, lines
005, 070, 191 and 221, column 10).
As for liquidity, according to the provisions of the European regulatory framework, credit institutions
shall calculate and report to the National Bank of Romania the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR).
Specifically, pursuant to Art. 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 to supplement
Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council with regard to liquidity
coverage requirement for credit institutions, the above-mentioned indicator shall be equal to
the ratio of a credit institution’s liquidity buffer to its net liquidity outflows over a 30 calendar day
stress period and shall be expressed as a percentage. Credit institutions shall maintain a liquidity
coverage ratio of at least 100 percent. The frequency, format and instructions of reporting on
liquidity coverage requirement were set by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 laying down
implementing technical standards with regard to supervisory reporting of institutions according to
Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, replaced by Regulation (EU) 2021/451.
The credit risk information refers to the exposure of each reporting institution to a single borrower,
which may be equal to or higher than lei 20,000.
The borrower’s ownership type is consistent with MPF Order in force approving the Financial
Reporting System for economic agents (Types of Ownership Nomenclature); the type of loan
granted to individuals and non-bank legal entities (by risk) observes the accounting rules compliant
with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to credit institutions and with the
accounting rules compliant with EU Directives; the loan currency respects the globally applicable
regulations; activity of borrower is consistent with Order No. 337/2007, issued by the President of
the National Institute of Statistics, on the updating of NACE. The classification meets the analysis
requirements of the National Bank of Romania.
Tables 11.2., 11.3., 11.4., 11.6. and 11.7. show credit risk information reported to the Central Credit
Register. Data series for the past 84 months are updated on a monthly basis.
As regards the number of account holders, the monthly values represent the number of account
holders reported to the Payment Incidents Register (PIR) in the respective month. The arithmetic
sum of account holders calculated for several months is not the same with the number of account
holders reported once to the PIR over that period, as the same account holder can be reported with
payment incidents in different months.
The average monthly exchange rate (EUR/RON and USD/RON) is a simple arithmetic mean of daily
exchange rates calculated and published by the National Bank of Romania every business day
at 1:00 PM, based on the quotes of the banks licensed to perform foreign exchange transactions.
The average annual exchange rate (EUR/RON and USD/RON) is calculated as a simple arithmetic
mean of average monthly rates.
The BET (Bucharest Exchange Trading) index is the BSE’s first official index. It is calculated as a
weighted average (with free float capitalisation) of the prices of stocks that make up the index
basket. BET index has a variable number of constituents, with a minimum of 10 companies and
a maximum of 15 companies.
Financial investment companies are not included in the basket of BET index. In order to prevent the
developments in a small number of companies from having a significant impact on the index, the
weight of any company in the index basket is limited to maximum 20 percent.
The BET-FI index is the first sector index developed by the BSE. It was originally calculated for the
5 financial investment companies listed and was envisaged to include all the financial investment
companies to be listed subsequently. Its calculation methodology is the same as that used for the
BET index.
The BET-XT and BET-NG indices were launched on 1 July 2008, the methodology for their calculation
being similar to that described above. The BET-XT index covers the developments in the 25 most
liquid and most heavily traded companies on the regulated market, including financial investment
companies, each accounting for no higher than 15 percent of the index basket.
The BET-NG index is a sector index reflecting developments in the share prices of the companies
traded on the BSE regulated market whose core business is related to the energy sector and its
related utilities. The maximum weight a company can hold in the index basket is 30 percent.
The BET Plus index, launched on 23 June 2014, reflects the evolution of Romanian companies listed
on the BSE regulated market that meet the minimum selection criteria (in terms of liquidity and
free-float value), except for financial investment companies. Similarly to the other indices developed
by the BSE, the methodology of the BET Plus index takes into consideration the trades recorded on
the main market segment (‘Regular’).
The ROTX (Romanian Traded Index) is a real time reflection of the movements of the blue chip stocks
traded on the BSE. There is no fixed number of shares included in the ROTX index portfolio, as the
key selection criteria are liquidity and market capitalisation. Calculated in lei, euro and US dollars
and disseminated in real time by the Wiener Börse AG, the ROTX index is designed as a tradable
index and can be used as an underlying asset for derivatives and structured products.

I. Current account. The current account reflects the provision or acquisition of real resources
by the Romanian economy to or from the rest of the world, as well as unilateral transactions,
without a quid pro quo.
The current account is subdevised into goods, services, primary income, secondary income.
On the credit side, transactions show the part of the reporting economy’s domestic product
supplied to other economies (exports of goods and services), income from using factors
of production in foreign production process (compensation of employees and investment
income) as well as the receipt of real or financial resources from abroad without a quid pro quo.
On the debit side, transactions show acquisition of goods and services from abroad (imports),
income owed to non-residents for using their factors of production, real or financial resources
granted to non-residents without a quid pro quo.
I.1. Goods – show international export/import transactions implying the change of ownership
over the respective goods, unlike the export/import transactions reflected by the NIS
statistics on international trade in goods that capture the circulation, i.e. dispatches/arrivals,
of goods.
Trade in goods statistics exclude the value of goods that cross the border but do not change
economic ownership (goods for processing, identified based on the type of transaction), but
include the net value of processing services, which is recorded under “Manufacturing services
on physical inputs owned by others”.
I.1.1. General merchandise – shows exports and imports of goods that are subject to a change
in economic ownership between residents and non-residents and cross the country border.
Data are recorded at FOB values. Imports FOB are calculated by the NBR based on the CIF/FOB
conversion factor set by the NIS.
I.1.2. Merchanting – is defined as the purchase of goods by a resident (of the compiling
economy) from a non-resident combined with the subsequent resale of the same goods to
another non-resident without the goods being present in the compiling economy. Acquisition of
goods is recorded as negative exports of goods. Sale of goods is recorded as positive exports of
goods.The difference between the selling price and the acquisition price is shown in “net exports
of goods under merchanting”. Transactions are recorded at market values.
I.2. Services – are the result of a production activity that changes the conditions of the
consuming units (individuals, legal entities or economic goods), or facilitates the exchange
of products or financial assets.
I.2.2. Maintenance and repair services – refer to maintenance and repair work by residents
on goods that are owned by non-residents (and vice versa). Repairs and maintenance on ships,
aircraft, and other transport equipment are included in this item. Construction maintenance
and repairs as well as maintenance and repairs of computers are excluded.
I.2.3. Transport – is the process of carriage of people and objects from one location to another
as well as related supporting and auxiliary services. It includes postal and courier services.
Transport can be classified according to: mode of transport and object of transport (passengers,
freight, other auxiliary services – uploading, downloading, storage etc.).
I.2.4. Travel credits cover the value in exchange for tourist services supplied to non-residents
during visits to Romania and outside Romania and travel debits cover the value in exchange for
tourist services provided to Romanian nationals outside Romania. The item includes business
travel such as training courses, business meetings, conferences, events, etc. Another breakdown
of travel shows: accommodation services, food-serving services, local transport services,
cultural activities, recreational services, travel arrangements, goods and services acquired by
persons during their stays abroad (e.g., souvenirs, provision of access to the Internet in hotels,
etc.), health- and education-related services involving conveyance of customers (patients,
students) from the home country to the host country.
I.2.5. Construction – refers to the total value of construction works carried out over less than
one year. It records on a gross basis the creation, renovation, repair, or extension of buildings,
land improvements of an engineering nature, and other such engineering constructions as
roads, bridges, dams and so forth.
I.2.6. Insurance and pension services – include services of providing direct insurance,
reinsurance, and auxiliary services, pension fund services. The value of these services is linked to
the fees included in the premiums, not the premiums themselves.
I.2.7. Financial services – cover financial intermediary and auxiliary services, except insurance
and pension fund services. They include both services charged for by explicit charges and
financial intermediation service charges indirectly measured, abbreviated as FISIM.
I.2.8. Charges for the use of intellectual property – include charges for the use of proprietary
rights that can arise from research and development as well as from marketing activities (patents,
trademarks, copyrights, industrial processes and designs including trade secrets, franchises) as well
as charges for licenses to reproduce or distribute (or both) intellectual property, and related rights.
Information services comprise news agency services as well as other information provision
services: database services (database conception, data storage, and the dissemination
of data and databases, including directories and mailing lists) both online and through
magnetic, optical, or printed media; and web search portals. They also include direct
non-bulk subscriptions to newspapers and periodicals, whether by mail, electronic
transmission, or other means; other online content provision services; and library and
archive services. Downloaded content that is not software (included in computer services)
or audio and video (included in audio-visual and related services) is included in information
services.
I.2.10. Other business services – cover research and development services, professional and
management consulting services, technical, trade-related, and other business services.
I.3. Primary income – shows the return that accrues to institutional units for their contribution
to the production process or for the provision of financial assets and renting natural resources,
as reflected by the flows between resident and non-resident institutional units.
I.3.1. Compensation of employees – presents remuneration in return for the labour input to
the production process contributed by an individual in an employer-employee relationship
over a period less than one year.
I.3.2. Investment income – is derived from the provision/use of financial assets in a resident-
non-resident relationship. It includes income on equity (dividends, reinvested earnings) and
other financial assets (interest). In the balance of payments, investment income is classified
according to the type of investment: direct investment income, portfolio investment income,
other investment income and income on reserve assets. For the definitions of the types of
investment, see the financial account.
I.3.3. Other primary income – classifies income by institutional sector of the reporting
economy (general government or other sectors) and includes taxes on production and
imports and subsidies on products and production. The non-refundable EU funds in
the form of subsidies from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund are recorded under
other primary income of the general government.
I.4. Secondary income – encompasses current transfers between residents and non-residents.
A transfer is an entry that corresponds to the provision of a good, service, financial asset, or
other non-produced asset by an institutional unit to another institutional unit when there
is no corresponding return of an item of economic value. Current transfers consist of all
transfers that are not capital transfers.
Current transfers are classified by the institutional sector providing or receiving the transfer:
general government or other sectors. Current transfers of the general government comprise
current taxes on income, wealth etc., social contributions, social benefits, current international
cooperation, miscellaneous current transfers and the contribution to the EU budget (calculated
based on value added tax and gross national income). They include non-refundable EU funds
for current expenditure drawn from the European Social Fund, and partly from the European
Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Current transfers of other sectors include current taxes on income, wealth etc., social
contributions, social benefits, net non-life insurance premiums, non-life insurance claims,
miscellaneous current transfers (personal transfers between resident and non-resident
households, including workers’ remittances).
II. Capital account covers acquisition and disposal of non-produced, non-financial assets and
capital transfers between residents and non-residents.
II.1. Acquisition and disposal of non-produced, non-financial assets
Non-produced, non-financial assets consist of: natural resources, contracts, leases, and licenses
and marketing assets (trademarks) and goodwill. This item records only acquisition and disposal
of such assets, not their use.
II.2. Capital transfers consist in changes in ownership over fixed assets, transfers of funds
connected to or conditional on the acquisition or disposal of a fixed asset and the cancellation
of liabilities by the creditors without a quid pro quo. Capital transfers can be made in cash or in
kind (such as debt forgiveness). The distinction between current transfers and capital transfers
is, actually, the use of the transfer by the recipient country.
Capital transfers include: (i) taxes on capital; (ii) capital transfers for investment and (iii) other
capital transfers and are classified according to the institutional sector initiating or receiving the
transfer in the reporting economy: general government or other sectors. The capital transfers of
the general government include non-refundable EU funds used for fixed capital formation and
drawn from the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, and partly from the
European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
III. Financial account
The financial account records net transactions that involve financial assets and liabilities
and that take place between residents and non-residents. The net acquisition of financial assets
is the difference between the acquisition of assets and the reduction in assets, while the net
incurrence of liabilities is determined as the difference between the incurrence of liabilities
and the reduction in liabilities.
Based on the functional category, the financial transactions are classified as: (i) direct investment;
(ii) portfolio investment; (iii) financial derivatives; (iv) other investment and (v) reserve assets.
The direct investment components are: equity, namely the paid-up capital and the reserves
related to a non-resident investor holding at least 10 percent of the subscribed share capital of
a resident enterprise, the related reinvested earnings, as well as debt instruments (e.g., loans)
between the investor or the group to which the investor belongs and the enterprise in which
he has invested.
A financial derivative contract is a financial instrument that is linked to another specific financial
instrument or indicator or commodity and through which specific financial risks (such as
interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, equity and commodity price risks, credit risk, and so on)
can be traded in their own right in financial markets. This category is identified separately
from the other categories because it relates to risk transfer, rather than supply of funds or
other resources. Unlike other functional categories, no primary income accrues on financial
derivatives.
Due to the fact that in the case of financial derivative transactions the distinction between
assets and liabilities is difficult, a convention was established at European level whereby all
transactions with such instruments are recorded in the balance of payments as net acquisition
of financial assets.
III.4. Other investment is a component that consists of transactions other than those included
in direct investment, portfolio investment, financial derivatives and reserve assets.
III.4.1. Equity other than that related to direct investment and portfolio investment
reflects the participation in the capital of some international organisations, as well as the less
than 10 percent participation in the share capital of quasi-corporations.
III.4.2. Currency and deposits include currency in circulation and deposits. Deposits are
standard, non-negotiable contracts, generally offered by deposit-taking corporations, allowing
the placement and the subsequent withdrawal of an amount of money by a creditor.
III.4.3. Loans include all loans, including housing loans, financial lease and repos.
All repurchase agreements are considered collateral loans, rather than simple sales/purchases
of securities and are recorded under other investment.
III.4.4 Insurance, pension and standardized guarantee schemes - include external assets
and liabilities related to financial instruments, such as general insurance technical provisions,
rights on life insurance and rents, pension rights, pension fund rights on the administrators
of the pension funds, rights to benefits, other than pensions, as well as the provisions for the
execution of the standardized guarantees;
III.4.5. Trade credit and advances are financial claims arising from credit extended directly
by the suppliers of goods and services to their customers and advances for work that is in
progress or is yet to be undertaken. Trade credit and advances arise when payment for goods
or services is not made at the same time as the change in ownership of a good or provision
of a service.
III.4.6 Other accounts receivable/payable - include financial assets/liabilities, other than loans
and trade credits and advances, which arise due to the time lag between the moment when a
claim or an obligation to make a payment arises and the moment when it is settled. Included
are the amounts receivable / payable related to taxes, wages, dividends and social contributions
that have been accrued but not yet received/paid.
III.4.7. SDR allocations – a component presenting a recipient’s liability in relation to the IMF,
with a corresponding entry under reserve assets.
III.5. Reserve assets are those external assets that are readily available to and controlled by
monetary authorities for meeting balance of payments financing needs, for intervention in
exchange markets to affect the currency exchange rate, and for other related purposes (such
as maintaining confidence in the currency and the economy, and serving as a basis for foreign
borrowing). Reserve assets must be foreign currency assets, claims on non-residents and assets
that actually exist.
