Bank of Russia changes structure of data on borrowings

To enhance the estimate of households’ investment in various types of financial assets, the Bank of Russia has amended the methodology for compiling statistics on household deposits.

The structure of statistics on funds accepted from individuals that are compiled based on Reporting Form 0409302 ‘Borrowings’ has been changed. Beginning from data as of 1 July 2019, funds in escrow accounts are excluded from the item ‘Deposits and other funds accepted from individuals’, while ‘Funds in escrow accounts’ are now calculated as a separate indicator. Balances in escrow accounts remain part of the indicator ‘Customers’ funds’.

The above amendments to the statistics are described in the methodological notes to the section ‘Granted Funds and Borrowings’.
