Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 4 April 2025
9 April 2025
In the week ending 4 April 2025 the increase of EUR 130 billion in gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) primarily reflected quarterly revaluation adjustments.
The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) decreased by EUR 8.3 billion to EUR 338 billion. This change was due mainly to the effects of the quarterly revaluation of assets and liabilities.
The net balance of open market operations and standing facilities (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) fell by EUR 0.5 billion to -EUR 2,795 billion.
Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) increased by EUR 2.8 billion to EUR 4,551.8 billion.
The table below provides the detailed breakdown of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) into the different portfolios. All debt securities held in these portfolios are accounted for at amortised cost.
