The financial survey is a consolidated statement of the financial assets and liabilities of all financial intermediaries in an economy against the other institutional sectors and the rest of the world. Thus, the financial survey is the consolidated balance sheets of the monetary survey (consolidated balance sheets of the monetary authorities and the deposit money banks) plus the non-monetary financial institutions (other banklike institutions, insurance companies, pension funds etc.).
The financial survey contains information not available in the monetary survey concerning the asset preferences of other domestic sectors. While the monetary survey provides a complete measure of the communities monetary assets, the financial survey encompasses holdings of deposits with non-monetary financial institutions and is also likely to provide some information on the economy 's preferences for less liquid financial assets, since it may include information on holdings of bonds issued by financial intermediaries, net equity in insurance reserves and pension funds, etc.
Non-monetary financial institutions can be divided into 'other banklike institutions' and 'non-bank financial institutions'. This distinction is interesting whenever some non-monetary financial institutions is alike deposit money banks in all other respects except for the provision of quasi money. This distinction might also be useful from a more practical point of view, reasonable current and complete data are usually available for 'other banklike institutions', while data for 'non-bank financial institutions are either not current, fragmentary or non-existing. Consolidated data for monetary authorities, deposit money banks and 'other banklike institutions' forms what is called the Banking survey (or 'available' rather than 'full' financial survey). Due to data limitations, many countries compile the Banking survey rather than a full financial survey.
