Table explanation


In this table you will find figures about savings (deposits) which are held by private individuals.
Two types of savings accounts (deposits) are distinguished:
- Deposits redeemable at notice
- Deposits with agreed maturity
Figures from DNB are taken over by CBS 1-on-1.
In January 2001 a new series was introduced because of a change in the obligation to report imposed on credit institutions.
In January 2009 a new series was introduced. The savings-data from the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), composed by means of a renewed raising-method, are as from this date taken over 1-on-1 by Statistics Netherlands(CBS).
In June 2010 the Dutch central bank (de Nederlandsche Bank, DNB) commenced a new series. As of this date the savings data from DNB is specified by counter-party. A refined grossing-up and compilation methodology has also been introduced.

Data available from December 1991 to December 2017.

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are definite when published. Yet if any changes occur, this will be the result of new -or recent data coming available.

Changes as of 22 February 2018:
None, this table is discontinued.
The table is terminated as a result of a redistribution of tasks between the CBS and DNB.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.

As of January 1998 all savings balances are called deposits. Total savings accounts divided into Deposits redeemable at notice and Deposits with agreed maturity.
Balance at beginning of period
The statistics on savings were revised in 1986 and henceforth presented excluding current interest, i.e. the interest the saver has earned but has not yet been added to the account.
Deposits
All amounts deposited including transfers from one savings account to another.
Withdrawals
All amounts withdrawn including transfers from one savings account to another.
Deposits minus withdrawals
The balance of deposits and withdrawals.
Interest added

Savings
Only data on the total savings balance are available. Household savings are defined as the net deposits minus withdrawals plus interest. Interest paid in cash or to a current account are not included in the savings.
Corrections and statistical differences
The savings balance is affected by deposits, withdrawals, interest added and corrections. Corrections comprise money deposited in a bank or savings institution wrongly included in or excluded from the savings balance. Statistical differences comprises changes in population, changes in method, takeovers or rounding off.
Balance at end of period
The statistics on savings were revised in 1986 and henceforth presented excluding current interest, i.e. the interest the saver has earned but has not yet been added to the account.
