For some indicators, however, information acquired through quarterly surveys was used. The statistical surveys taken in enterprises with financial intermediation as their principal activity (CZ-NACE Divisions 65 to 67) are of the exhaustive type and cover all incorporated entities irrespective of the number of employees. Notes on tables Table 20-1. Basic indicators on financial banking institutions Some financial indicators on institutions classified to CZ-NACE Group 65.1 are given. The institutions covered are commercial banks including savings banks. The data also include the Czech National Bank. The financial indicators are defined with reference to the chart of accounts for banks. Table 20-2.

The data were obtained from an exhaustive annual survey on the volume of tangible fixed assets leased by leasing companies or other companies also engaged in financial leasing. Definitions of employment indicators, methodological description of financial indicators and definitions of sales indicators can be found in Chapters 10. Labour Market, 16A. Industry and 18. Trade, Hotels and Restaurants, Tourism, respectively. The values of some indicators (financial expenses, financial revenues) for the year 2002 are not fully comparable with the values for previous years due to the amended accounting methodology of banks and non-banking monetary institutions.

The time series of the basic indicators is not fully comparable. In 2000, data on housing cooperatives and the cooperatives of owners of dwellings and houses ceased to be measured, and available administrative sources have been used since to identify activities of enterprises. This resulted in changes in the indicator values published before.
