Gaining a clear insight into the assets and liabilities of Dutch households is crucial to monitor their financial vulnerabilities and to recognize possible problems in an early stage. The different components of these (financial) assets and liabilities are being reported to the Dutch central bank by various sectors through different reporting frameworks. For example, the information on deposits of households is coming from the monetary reports of Dutch banks and information on securities originate from the reports of Dutch securities depositories. In order to have an orderly overview of the components of assets and liabilities of Dutch households collected by the Netherlands´ Bank, all information from these different sources is put together in table 11.1.

Here information is provided on payments between the Netherlands and the rest of the world, and on claims which the Netherlands has on the rest of the world and vice versa.

Not included in this table are transactions and positions of Special Financial Institutions (SFIs) because such institutions are subsidiaries of foreign parent companies used to channel capital through our country that has really nothing at all to do with the Dutch economy (Table 12.13 presents the Balance of Payments including SFIs).
