Introduction
The annual publication Banking Statistics – Financial Statements of banks* provides statistics on financial statements of banks in OECD countries. National Statistics are re-classified and presented according to a standard framework that was agreed by the OECD Working Party on Financial Statistics. These statistical series also include data on the number of reporting banks, their branches and the staff employed by these institutions. Furthermore, general information is provided for some of the OECD countries regarding the structure of their financial system as well as the share of domestic and foreign currencies in their bank assets and liabilities.
