About the statistics

A financial holding company is characterised as a parent company in or part of a financial group in accordance with the Financial Business Act. Financial holding companies are not financial institutions in the traditional sense. Their role in the financial market is primarily to manage ownership interests in other financial institutions (their subsidiaries).

The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 22 March 2021.

Balance sheet: The balance sheet shows assets, liabilities and equity at the end of accounting period.

Profitt and loss account: The profit and loss account shows income, costs and expenses over the course of the accounting period.

We have four types of classification: instrument, sector, industry and type.

Financial instruments and physical capital
Liabilities, claims and other assets in the balance sheet of the financial institutions are divides into two main groups with a view to providing major uniform groups such as bank lending, funding and deposits.
Debtor and creditor industry
Borrowers and lenders are classified according to institutional sector classification, based on national accounts rules.
Debtor and creditor industry
Based on the rules in the industry standard, the individual financial instruments are grouped according to the debtor's or creditor's industry affiliation.
Types of income and expenses
Including interest income and expenses, are based on national accounts rules.

The accounts statistics for financial holding companies are, as far as possible, based on current accounting rules. Breaks can therefore occur in connection with changes in accounting legislation.

Errors and discrepancies can occur in the accounting data. These discrepancies can have a number of sources:

  • Errors in the reporting institutions' accounts
  • Errors in the transfer of data from the institution's primary accounts to recipients
  • Different accounting and evaluation principles
  • Different accounting dates for transactions
  • Insufficient data from the reporting parties
  • Processing errors

Due to large amounts of data and a dynamic control and revision system, published data will be regarded as preliminary until next years data for the same period is published. This means that data for the current year may be revised without this being marked in the preceeding publishing. Large and important revision however, will be commented upon in the publishing of Today's Statistics.
