Description

As from issue number 50, the Series of Economic Studies of the Central Bank of Chile will be called Studies in Economic Statistics.

Since 2011 the Central Bank of Chile publishes quarterly sectoral balance sheets and financial and non-financial flows of the Chilean economy, statistics collected under the name of Sectoral Accounts. So far, comparable time series available began in 2008, being regarded as a challenge its extension to previous periods. This document provides a review of the main results of the Sectoral Accounts series from the first quarter of 2003, with special focus on the impact of the 2008 international financial crisis, reflected in the evolution of Households and Non-Financial Corporations’ savings and indebtedness, public finances condition, net sectoral financial positions, among other variables of interest.
