Concept • Secondary distribution of income account • Estimation • Disposable income Other current transfers • Concept • Estimation Social transfers in kind • Current transfers • Concept • Redistribution of income in kind account • Adjusted disposable income • Estimation 2 • • • • Indirect measure of the value of financial intermediation services provided but for which financial institutions do not charge explicitly Needs to be imputed because no explicit fees are charged Split actual interest transactions into • SNA interest • FISIM Applies to loans and deposits • Financial institutions 3 Bank interest receivable Loans Deposits SNA interest receivable Bank interest payable FISIM SNA interest payable FISIM 4 FISIM FISIM L FISIM D rL rr YL rr rD YD • • • • • • • • • • FISIML = FISIM on loans FISIMD = FISIM on deposits rL = lending rate rD = deposit rate rr = reference rate YL = stock of loans YD = stock of deposits rL YL = actual bank interest receivable on loans rD YD = actual bank interest payable on deposits rrYL (rrYD) = SNA interest on loans (deposits) • Record in allocation of primary income account 5 Reference rate • Between interest rates on loans and deposits • No service element • Reflects risk and maturity structure of deposits and loans • One reference rate per currency • One method • Average of the ratio of interest payable on deposits to the stock of deposits and ratio of interest receivable on loans to the stock of loans 6 Allocation • Some portion of domestically-produced FISIM to households • Final consumers (final consumption expenditure) • Owners of dwellings Intermediate • Owners of unincorporated enterprises consumption • Same for imports of FISIM 7 Data sources Domestically-produced FISIM • If data on average stocks of loans and deposits and interest by sector from monetary authorities are available • Calculate FISIM on loans to households sector • Owners of dwellings (dwelling loans) Intermediate • Owners of unincorporated enterprises consumption • Other loans (final consumption expenditure) • Calculate FISIM on deposits to households sector • Owners of unincorporated enterprises (intermediate consumption) • Deposits as final consumers (final consumption expenditure) • Bottom up method 8 • Complete breakdown of data not always available • Compute total FISIM on loans and deposits for households • Allocate FISIM on loans to Intermediate • Owners of dwellings (dwelling loans) consumption • Owners of unincorporated enterprises • Other loans (final consumption expenditure) Using indicators such as breakdown of data on loans from other sources 9 • Allocate FISIM on deposits to • Owners of unincorporated enterprises (intermediate consumption) • Households as final consumers (final consumption expenditure) Using indicators from other sources such as • Ratio of stocks of deposits to VA for smallest size corporations • Ratio of stocks of deposits to turnover for smallest size corporations • Other solutions? • Equal split? • Professional judgement • All FISIM on deposits to households as final consumers 10 Imports of FISIM • Data on stock of loans and deposits and interest on loans and deposits from rest of world account • Reference rate • Total FISIM on loans and deposits • Allocate FISIM on loans and deposits to households sector according to distribution of domesticallyproduced FISIM • Lack of data by currency to calculate imports of FISIM seems to be a problem in many countries 11 • Need to remove effects of changes in price from current-price FISIM – volume measures • Deflation method preferable to output indicator method • Deflate stock of each type of loan and deposit using general price indexes • GDP deflator (excluding FISIM) • Final domestic demand deflator (excluding FISIM) • All-items CPI • Calculate base period margin of each type of loan and deposit • Base period margin on loan (deposit) = difference between interest rate on loan (deposit) and reference rate • Apply base period margin on loan (deposit) to deflated stock of loan (deposit) • Aggregate to obtain volume measures of FISIM 12 • Possible for some financial institutions to make loans without accepting deposits • Own funds • Examples • Credit card issuers • Finance associates of retailers responsible for financial leasing • Pawnshops • Moneylenders • Corporations • Unincorporated enterprises • Production and consumption • Likely to be important in developing countries 13 FL rL rr YL • • • • • • FL = Financial service on loans rL = lending rate rr
