Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 9 January 2026

13 January 2026

In the week ending 9 January 2026 the net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) decreased by EUR 0.8 billion to EUR 330.3 billion.

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 32.8 billion to -EUR 2,478.3 billion. This was primarily due to the change in the level of the deposit facility (liability item 2.2).

Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) increased by EUR 8.9 billion to EUR 4,274.0 billion.

The change in the revaluation accounts (liability item 11) was due to the finalisation of the revaluation of the Eurosystem's assets and liabilities for the financial year 2025.

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.
