This issue of the BRH monthly Economic and Financial Indicators covers inflation and the exchange market, monetary policy instruments, liquidity, credit and deposits of the banks, the balance sheet of the monetary authorities, the monetary situation, public finances and external debt. It closes with sections on bank balance-sheet growth, market shares, asset quality and profitability. The preface says the publication gives the public and decision makers factual, bullet-point descriptions of the monetary and financial sectors, with charts and tables.
Each indicator is read in comparison with three benchmarks: the previous month, the start of the fiscal year and the same month a year earlier. Monetary and banking statistics are stock data published with a two-month lag, public finance figures are cash-basis flows with a two-month lag, and some figures are provisional and subject to revision.
