About the methodology for Money Supply M2 (National Definition) compilation

The External and Public Relations Department of the Bank of Russia informs that the methodology for Money Supply M2 (National Definition) compilation has been amended to ensure consistency of approaches to the sectoral breakdown of institutional units across Monetary, Financial and Government Finance Statistics and System of National Accounts in regard to including economic entities into the appropriate sectors of the economy. Thus, sectorisation of such state corporations as the Housing and Utilities Reform Promotion Fund and the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies are recorded under the General government sector. Another reason for this is the use of new information sources for improving the statistics quality.

Revised time series have been published on the web-site of the Bank of Russia (section “Statistics”).
