holdings broken down by the holder’s economic sector and country of origin
on a security-by-security basis. The reporting scheme comprises the holdings
of debt securities, shares and investment fund shares or units. Holders are

amounts held in safe custody are transmitted to the Deutsche Bundesbank.
Securities data are indispensable for monetary analysis as any shifts in
financing between the banking system and the securities markets may affect
the transmission of monetary policy. In addition, data are essential to monitor
the development of amounts held and the distribution among different

exposures to individual counterparties. Information on the composition and
quality of the portfolios of holders is used to better understand investor
behavior.
