Description

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

This paper presents the methodology for measuring the sectoral interlinkages or from-whom-towhom matrices for deposits and loans covering the period 2008-2012. In addition, the results are presented as networks which allow relationships to be analyzed between different sectors. These matrices indicate which institutional sector has initiated a transaction (outstanding amount or financial transaction) and identifies the counterparty sector. The results highlight the importance of the relationship of Deposit-taking corporations with Households and Non-financial corporations, both for deposits and loans, as well as the important structural differences that arise when comparing the relationship between the institutional sectors in Chile and the Eurozone.
