Methodological notes on ‘Organisations and Households debt on bank loans and debt securities’

The Bank of Russia publishes ‘Organisations and Households debt on bank loans and debt securities’ on a monthly basis by economic sector, financial instrument and currency (ruble and foreign currency) and includes:

• non-financial organisations and financial organisations (except banking system) debt on bank loans and debt securities including accrued interest,
• households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs) debt on bank lending; debt on housing mortgage loans sold by credit institutions to mortgage agents (including repayment), debt on consumer loans sold by credit institutions to specialized financial companies.

Debt securities are accounted for at face value less debt securities bought out by issuers (excluding promissory notes).

The classification of sectors and instruments corresponds to the System of National Accounts, 2008 (2008 SNA, European Commission, IMF, OECD, UN, World Bank, 2009)¹.

Organisations and households debt on bank loans and debt securities can be updated due to changes in reporting data, the emergence of new sources of information, methodological changes.
