• Endorsed/referenced: DGI-3 Recommendation 4; DGI-2 Recommendation 7; DGI-1 Recommendation 7

Conceptual framework and standards

• The Handbook provides a conceptual framework for securities statistics, including classifications for different possible breakdowns.
• The current version is based on:
  • the 2008 System of National Accounts
  • the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, sixth edition (BPM6)
• The Handbook goes partly beyond these standards by elaborating additional breakdowns on issues and holdings of debt and equity securities.
• Special attention is paid to:
  • valuation and accounting rules
  • specific operations related to debt and equity securities

Presentation, tables, and data compilation guidance

• The Handbook provides high-level and detailed presentation tables that assist in the compilation and dissemination of securities statistics.
• It addresses both issues and holdings of debt and equity securities and gives guidance useful for compilers of securities statistics.

Review process and contributors

• Preparation was supported by a Review Group for the Handbook on Securities Statistics consisting of officials from national central banks and relevant statistical agencies, and representatives from international organizations with expertise in debt securities statistics.
• Review Group activities included:
  • commenting on drafts of the Handbook
  • participating in review group meetings held on:
  • 28-29 October 2008 in Basel
  • 15-16 March 2010 in Frankfurt
  • 12-13 October 2011 in Washington, D.C.
• Drafts of the Handbook also benefitted from worldwide comments from experts.

Planned updates and future work

• The WGSD plans to update the Handbook in the future to:
  • align it with the updated 2025 System of National Accounts
  • address new issues in the compilation of securities statistics that have emerged since publication of the current version
  • include considerations on the use of security-by-security data for the compilation of securities statistics
