Standard classifications
-
We have three types of classifications: instrument, sector and type:
Financial instruments and fixed assets: liabilities, claims and other assets in the unit trust's balance sheets are divided into main groups with a view to providing uniform groups.
Debtor and creditor sector: In compiling the statistics, the actors are grouped into sectors, primarily by socio-economic function, such as general government, financial enterprises, non-financial enterprises, households and the rest of the world.
Income and expense types: including, inter alia, interest and share dividends, are based on national accounts rules.
