Flow of Funds - Top Future Point

A flow of funds account is a system of interrelated balance sheets for a nation , calculated from time to time. There are two types of balance sheets: those showing

total assets and liabilities for the financial and non-financial sectors , and
Which regions issue and hold a given type of financial asset (instrument).

Regions and equipment are listed below.

These balance sheets measure the level of assets and liabilities. A corresponding flow statement can be obtained by subtracting the prior period’s level data from the current period’s data from each balance sheet. ( In statistical analysis of time series , this operation is known as the ” first difference “.) The change in a level object between two adjacent periods is known as a “fund flow”; Hence the name of these accounts.

Organization of the flow of funds accounts of the US

United States Flow of Funds (FOF) accounts are prepared by the Flow of Funds section of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System , and are published quarterly in a publication called Z.1 Statistical Release. Current and historical releases available in PDF, CSV, or XML format . The data frequency is annual since 1945 and quarterly beginning in 1952Q1. Detailed interactive documentation is also available.

Flow of funds accounts naturally with double-entry bookkeeping ; Every financial asset is also a liability of some human entity, domestic or foreign. A fundamental fact about any economic sector is its balance sheet, a breakdown of its physical and financial assets and its liabilities. The only physical assets noted in FF accounts are those of the private non-financial sectors.
