The revised Flow of Funds Accounts ("FFA") will be available from March 25, 2016, following "The Implementation of 2008SNA Recommendations in Japan's Flow of Funds Accounts." An overview of this revision will also be released as research material in early March 2016.

Please see FFA coding schemes [PDF 116KB] for the codes of the FFA data based on the 2008SNA used in the BOJ Time-Series Data Search.

In preparation for the revision, the BOJ Time-Series Data Search will undergo system maintenance from late February 2016.

Users should note the following:

From late February 2016

• Codes of the FFA data based on the 2008SNA will be reflected in the BOJ Time-Series Data Search. Data will not appear at this stage.
• FFA data based on the 1993SNA will move to discontinued series. All data posted in the BOJ Time-Series Data Search as of December 17, 2015 can be downloaded from the discontinued series.

From mid-March 2016

• System maintenance for data migration will start. During this process, interim FFA data based on the 2008SNA may appear in the BOJ Time-Series Data Search. Discontinued series based on the 1993SNA will continue to be available.

Note: Flat files containing data based on the 1993SNA are available until March 25, 2016. These files will be replaced with the new data based on the 2008SNA on that day.
