Overview and definition
- Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) are measures that indicate the current financial health and soundness of a country's financial institutions, and their corporate and household counterparts.
- FSIs include both aggregated individual institution data and indicators that are representative of the markets in which the financial institutions operate.
Purpose and use
- FSIs are calculated and disseminated for the purpose of supporting macroprudential analysis--the assessment and surveillance of the strengths and vulnerabilities of financial systems--with a view to strengthening financial stability and limiting the likelihood of financial crises.
- The guide is intended to:
- Give guidance on the concepts, sources, and compilation and dissemination techniques underlying FSIs;
- Encourage the use and cross-country comparison of these data;
- Support national and international surveillance of financial systems.
Guidance scope and content
- Provides conceptual guidance, source identification, compilation techniques, and dissemination techniques underlying FSIs.
- Aims to promote comparability and usability of FSI data for macroprudential surveillance.
