Division 5.1

The compilation of the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts requires the identification of those counterparties located in the territory of the euro area that form the money-holding sector. For this purpose, non-MFI counterparties are divided, as set out in the revised European System of Accounts (hereinafter the ‘ESA 2010’) laid down by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 (see Part 3 of Annex II), into general government (S.13), with central government (S.1311) identified separately in total deposit liabilities, and other resident sectors. In order to calculate a monthly sector disaggregation of the monetary aggregates and credit counterparts, other resident sectors are further broken down by the following subsectors: non-MMF investment funds (S.124), other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds + financial auxiliaries + captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.125 + S.126 + S.127), insurance corporations (S.128), pension funds (S.129), non-financial corporations (S.11) and households + non-profit institutions serving households (S.14 + S.15). An additional distinction is made for counterparties that are FVCs and central clearing counterparties, within the merged counterpart sectors (S.125 + S.126 + S.127). For sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status see Section 3. With respect to total deposit liabilities and the deposit categories ‘deposits over two years agreed maturity’, ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ and ‘repos’, an additional distinction is made between credit institutions, other MFI counterparties and central government for the purposes of the ECB’s minimum reserve system.
