Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 28 June 2024
3 July 2024
In the week ending 28 June 2024 the increase of EUR 46.4 billion in gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) primarily reflected quarterly revaluation adjustments.
The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) rose by EUR 2.2 billion to EUR 325 billion. This change was due mainly to the positive effects of the quarterly revaluation of assets and liabilities.
The net balance of open market operations and standing facilities (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) increased by EUR 69.1 billion to -EUR 2,972.3 billion. This was due primarily to the change in the level of the deposit facility (liability item 2.2) and the longer-term refinancing operations (asset item 5.2).
Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) fell by EUR 103.3 billion to EUR 4,797.4 billion.
The table below provides the detailed breakdown of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) into the different portfolios. All portfolios are accounted for at amortised cost.
