Abstract

This issue of the Global Financial Stability Report introduces a statistical appendix that presents data on financial developments in key financial centers and emerging markets. It is designed to complement the analysis in the text by providing additional data that describe key aspects of financial market developments. These data are derived from a number of sources external to the IMF, including banks, commercial data providers, and official sources, and are presented for information purposes only; the IMF does not guarantee the accuracy of the data from external sources.

This issue of the Global Financial Stability Report introduces a statistical appendix that presents data on financial developments in key financial centers and emerging markets. It is designed to complement the analysis in the text by providing additional data that describe key aspects of financial market developments. These data are derived from a number of sources external to the IMF, including banks, commercial data providers, and official sources, and are presented for information purposes only; the IMF does not guarantee the accuracy of the data from external sources.

Presenting financial market data in one location and in a fixed set of tables and charts, in this and future issues of the Global Financial Stability Report, is intended to give the reader an overview of developments in global financial markets. The statistical appendix reflects information available up to February 19, 2003, unless otherwise specified.

Mirroring the structure of the chapters of the report, the appendix presents data separately for key financial centers and emerging market countries. Specifically, it is organized into three sections:

  • Figures 1–14 and Tables 1–9 contain information on market developments in key financial centers. This includes data on global capital flows, and on markets for foreign exchange, bonds, and equities, and derivatives as well as sectoral balance sheet data for the United States, Japan, and Europe.

  • Figures 15 and 16 and Tables 10–21 present information on financial developments in emerging markets, including data on equity, foreign exchange, and bond markets, as well as data on emerging market financial flows.

  • Tables 22–25 report key financial soundness indicators for selected countries, including bank profitability, asset quality, and capital adequacy.

Emerging and Mature Market Volatility

For “Mature Market Equity,” Bloomberg L.P.1Data utilize the Emerging Markets Free index in U.S. dollars to calculate 30-day rolling volatilities.2Data utilize the EMBI+ total return index in U.S. dollars to calculate 30-day rolling volatilities.3The VIX is a market estimate of future stock market volatility, and is based on the weighted average of the implied volatilities of 8 Chicago Board Options Exchange calls and puts (the nearest in- and out-of-the-money call and put options from the first and second month expirations).4The VDAX represents the implied volatility of the German DAX assuming a constant 45 days remaining until expiration of DAX index contracts.
