Market securities

More detailed data for market securities can be found in the Databank.

Amounts are in millions (M.kr.)

Data for market securities are col­lec­ted with the aim of mon­it­or­ing the position of marketable securities issued in Iceland and pub­lish­ing ag­greg­ate data from them. In ad­di­tion, the Cent­ral Bank uses the data in its op­er­a­tions.

The foundation in law for data collection is in Article 32 of the Act of the Central Bank of Iceland, No. 92/2019 (in Icelandic). In accordance with Article 41 of the Act, the Central bank is allowed to exchange information with public entities concerning matters falling under the scope of this Act if the exchange of information is consistent with the legally mandated role of the Central Bank or the recipient.

Data for listed equities and debt securities of corporate, municipality and foreign resident are obtained from the Iceland Stock Exchange (ICEX). Data for Treasury instruments are obtained from the National Debt Management Agency. Other data are compiled from monthly balance sheet reports of deposit money banks, other loan institutions and collective investment funds.

The most re­cent fig­ures are al­ways pre­lim­in­ary and sub­ject to re­vi­sion.
