Banking and monetary statistics: a change in reporting dates

Quarterly Bulletin 1986 Q4
Published on 01 December 1986

Banking and monetary statistics have traditionally been collected for the third Wednesday of each month. Reporting dates have now moved to the end of each month. This note sets out the background to the change, and its implications for the measurement of monetary and liquidity aggregates and for the timing of published statistics. It presents a calendar monthly series for the main monetary and liquidity aggregates, constructed from end-month returns which the 90 or so largest banks have provided since mid-1982.
