Notes:
1 The Bank's total assets outstanding at the end of September 2006 is 117.0 trillion yen, with an approximate decrease of 31.1 trillion yen from the corresponding balance of 148.1 trillion yen at the end of September 2005 (the rate of decrease is 21.0%).
2 Main reasons for year-on-year changes in major items:
| Assets |
|
Year-on-Year Differences (Rate of Changes) |
| Receivables under resale agreements |
|
+2.5 trillion yen (+52.9%) |
The increase reflects the increase in funds provision through purchases of JGSs under repurchase agreements.
| Bills purchased |
|
-37.0 trillion yen (-100.0%) |
The decrease reflects the abolishment of the bill-purchasing operations.
| Government securities |
|
-17.1 trillion yen (-17.5%) |
The decrease reflects the fact that the amount of government securities redeemed and sold exceeded the amount of those purchased and underwritten by the Bank.
| Loans (excluding those to the Deposit Insurance Corporation)
|
|
+21.0 trillion yen (--)
|
The increase reflects the introduction of the funds-supplying operations against pooled collateral.
| Liabilities |
|
Year-on-Year Differences (Rate of Changes) |
| Banknotes |
|
+0.7 trillion yen (+0.9%) |
The amount outstanding of banknotes is almost the same as that of last year reflecting demand for banknotes.
| Current deposits |
|
-22.3 trillion yen (-65.4%) |
The decrease reflects the Bank's money market operations conducted in accordance with the guideline for money market operations decided at the Monetary Policy Meetings.
| Deposits of the government |
|
-1.8 trillion yen (-31.2%) |
The decrease reflects management of treasury funds.
| Payables under repurchase agreements |
|
-6.5 trillion yen (-23.3%) |
The decrease reflects decrease in sales of JGBs under repurchase agreements to the government and sales of TBs/FBs under repurchase agreements to foreign central banks and international institutions.
| Bills sold |
|
-0.6 trillion yen (-100.0%)
|
The decrease reflects the fall in funds absorption through bill-selling operations.
