Flow of Funds

The Flow of Funds section produces the Board's quarterly flow of funds accounts, a comprehensive set of accounts that includes detail on the assets and liabilities of households, businesses, governments, and financial institutions. Staff members analyze the effect of financial innovations and other changes in financial markets on the structure of the accounts. They also conduct research on issues concerning the relationships between economic sectors and financial markets and institutions, and they study ways to improve techniques for seasonal adjustment and estimation of missing data.
