Securities

CSDB-Derived Securities Issues Statistics (CSEC) provide data on outstanding stocks, gross issues, redemptions, net issues, revaluations and other changes in volume of debt securities and listed shares in the euro area and non-euro area EU Member States. CSEC data are broken down by sector of issuer, maturity of issuance, coupon type and currency of issuance.Indicators on issuances of sustainable debt securities (stocks and flows) comprise a breakdown by sustainability classification (green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked) for the euro area and EU aggregates, including breakdown by issuer country and sector. Data on sustainable debt securities are published for two levels of assurance: i) all sustainable debt securities, i.e. with all degrees of assurance including only self-labelled instruments, and ii) securities with a second party opinion validating the sustainability claims of the issuer.

The Securities Holdings Statistics by Sector (SHSS), collected on a security-by-security basis, provide information on securities held by selected categories of euro area investors, broken down by instrument type, holder country and further classifications.Indicators on holdings of sustainable debt securities (stocks and financial transactions) comprise a breakdown by sustainability classification (green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked), including a breakdown by issuer area. A breakdown by individual holder country is available for all sustainable classifications. Additionally, a breakdown by holder sector is available for euro area aggregates for all sustainable classifications, and for individual country aggregates for green bonds only. Data on sustainable debt securities are published for two levels of assurance: i) all sustainable debt securities, i.e. with all degrees of assurance including only self-labelled instruments, and ii) securities with a second party opinion validating the sustainability claims of the issuer.

Quarterly financial and non-financial sector accounts

Securities issues statistics (SEC) are produced by the ECB based on monthly data reported by the national central banks of the euro area. They cover data on outstanding amounts, issuances, redemptions and growth rates of debt securities and listed shares. All these data are broken down by issuer country and sector, instrument type, original maturity, coupon type and currency of denomination. The SEC data are published in a monthly statistical release six weeks after the end of the reference month. The annual Financial Markets Survey (FMS) collects basic data on outstanding amounts and issuances of debt securities and market capitalisation of listed shares for non-euro area EU countries. The SEC data set has been replaced by the CSEC data set as of June 2022.

The Securities settlement statistics cover the activity of central securities depositories (CSDs). This dataset provides information on direct participants in CSDs and also on the number and value of securities held on accounts as well as on delivery instructions.

The dataset contains the balance of payments (b.o.p.) and the international investment position (i.i.p.) of the euro area compiled by the ECB, as well as European union aggregates compiled by Eurostat and individual EU country data. The b.o.p. is a statistical statement that summarises, for a specific period of time, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The different accounts within the b.o.p. are distinguished according to the nature of the economic resources (e.g. goods, services, income or financial resources) provided and received. The i.i.p. is a statistical statement that shows, at a specific point in time, the value and composition of financial assets of residents of an economy that are claims on non-residents and gold bullion held as reserve assets and liabilities of residents of an economy to non-residents; The current account and capital account main components are broken down by counterpart countries. Financial transactions and positions are presented by type of investment, resident and counterpart sector, type of instrument and country of residency of the counterpart

Government finance statistics (GFS) provide a comprehensive overview of fiscal developments in the euro area, the European Union, and individual EU Member States. Data for Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States are also available, although with less detail.

he Securities Holdings Statistics (SHS), collected on a security-by-security basis, provide information on securities held by selected categories of euro area investors, broken down by instrument type, issuer country and further classifications. The SHS data set has been replaced by the SHSS data set as of June 2022.

BSI statistics are based on either the aggregated or the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions (MFI) sector. The aggregated balance sheet is the sum of the balance sheets of all MFIs resident in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet is obtained by netting the aggregated balance sheet positions between MFIs in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet provides the basis for the regular analysis of euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts.

The IDCS dataset covers publicly available selected sector accounts data as published by Eurostat, OECD and the UN.  It is a result of a regular data exchange set up by the International Data Cooperation (IDC) initiative under the Inter-Agency Group on Economic and Financial Statistics (IAG) chaired by the IMF. The aim is to develop a set of commonly shared principles and working arrangements for data cooperation that could be implemented by the participating International Organisations, leading to improved timeliness and accuracy of published data ( link )

The Securities clearing statistics cover the activities of centralised clearing counterparties (CCPs). This dataset provides information on clearing members as well as the number and value of different types of contracts cleared. Number of participants/clearing members refers to the participants in CCP operations. Clearing members are broken down into central banks, CCPs, credit institutions, and other (residual). The number of clearing members refers to the last day of the year.

The Securities trading statistics cover the trading of debt, equity and other tradable securities on stock exchanges. This dataset contains information on the number of participants, listed securities and executed trades. In addition, the market capitalisation and value of executed trades are available. A participant in a securities exchange is a legal entity that can submit (buy and sell) orders to the exchange on its own behalf or on behalf of its customers. Domestic participants are those located in the same country as the securities exchange. Market capitalisation of listed companies is the total market value of a company, i.e. the total number of a company’s shares outstanding multiplied by the current market price per share. In securities trading statistics each executed trade is counted once, regardless of whether the transaction has been executed on an order-driven or quote-driven system. Unsecured derivatives transactions and repo transactions are not included.

The dataset contains the official reserve assets of the euro area, as well as individual EU country data. National reserve assets statistics are collected in the context of Guideline ECB/2011/23 of 9 December 2011 (as amended) and both, national data and euro area aggregates, follow the principles and classifications of the 6th edition of the IMF Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6).

The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area is published by the European Commission (Eurostat) and generally available from 1996 onwards. Euro area results are obtained by aggregating indices for individual countries. The HICP is broken down following the European classification of individual consumption according to purpose (ECOICOP) and by goods and services special aggregates derived from it. The HICP covers monetary expenditure on final consumption by resident and non-resident households on the economic territory of the euro area. The seasonally adjusted HICP data are compiled by the ECB.
