Abstract

This Article presents the recently introduced Securities Holdings Statistics published by the Central Bank of Ireland, including holdings of debt securities; quoted shares; and investment fund shares and units. During the financial crisis, the availability of only limited information on holdings of securities made it difficult to identify the exposures of market participants and hindered swift policy action. This served to underscore the need for granular, security-by-security information on the operation of financial markets. The collection of data on the holdings of securities was commenced by the European System of Central Banks in early 2014 in order to close these data gaps. In order to meet the growing demand for information, this new data release provides detailed insights into the holdings of various financial instrument classes by Irish residents, including households and non-financial corporations. This Article examines the links between the holders and issuers of securities at a granular counterparty sector, country, and instrument level, and it explores the ongoing expansion of the reporting population.
