Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 3 February 2023

7 February 2023

In the week ending 3 February 2023 the net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) decreased by EUR 9.4 billion to EUR 329.9 billion.

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) rose by EUR 12 billion to EUR -2,821.8 billion. This was due primarily to the change in the level of the deposit facility (liability item 2.2).

Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) increased by EUR 12.4 billion to EUR 5,839.1 billion.

The change in the revaluation accounts (liability item 11) was due to the finalisation of 2022 year-end processes by one NCB.

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.
