Changes in financial accounts statistics

Published: 25/4/2025

As of 25 April 2025, the Croatian National Bank will stop publishing Table T1 Balance sheets for financial assets and liabilities (stocks) at the end of the year (non-consolidated) and Table T2 Balance sheets for financial assets and liabilities (stocks) at the end of the year (consolidated) as part of the continued improvement of the quality and relevance of the financial accounts statistics indicators of the Republic of Croatia. Table T3 Balance sheets for financial assets and liabilities (stocks) at the end of the quarter (non-consolidated) will continue to be published and new indicators will be released in Table T4 Balance sheets for financial assets and liabilities (stocks) at the end of the quarter (consolidated). This will allow the users to have insight into the consolidated and non-consolidated financial accounts indicators on a quarterly basis with more sectoral details than previously, since consolidated indicators have so far only been available on an annual basis. In addition, the length of the time series of quarterly indicators is extended considerably so that they no longer begin with the first quarter of 2012, but with the first quarter of 1995, in both tables.

At the time of the release of 25 April 2025, and in accordance with the financial accounts statistics revision policy, a revision of previously released financial accounts indicators from the first quarter of 2021 until the third quarter of 2024 was also conducted. The reason for the revision was the correction of indicators for the sector of non-financial corporations in which the method of use of source data from their annual financial statements has been improved. The revision has resulted in an average decrease in the financial assets of the domestic economy of 0.5% and the decrease in liabilities of 0.4%. The revised data ensure greater accuracy and reliability of the statistical indicators of financial accounts.
