The unified statistics will succeed the name "Deposits, Vault Cash, and Loans and Bills Discounted" and its structure of data series. As a result of this integration, the related data series will be rearranged into a single structure.

The integration will be effective as of July 31, which is the scheduled release date of the current data series. All data series in "Amounts Outstanding of Deposits by Depositor" and "Loans and Bills Discounted by Sector" will be integrated into "Deposits, Vault Cash, and Loans and Bills Discounted" for the entire period.

Please also note that the new series codes will be allocated to "Deposits, Vault Cash, and Loans and Bills Discounted" in "BOJ Time-Series Data Search."

"Deposits, Vault Cash, and Loans and Bills Discounted" is revised annually to reflect revisions in the source data. The annual revision for this year will be applied to the new data series after the integration.
