Central bank assets to GDP (%)

This indicator evaluates the proportion of a central bank's claims on the domestic real non-financial sector relative to the nation’s GDP, expressed as a percentage. It utilizes a deflation technique that combines current and lagged claims, adjusted for inflation through the end-of-period and average annual consumer price indices (CPI). By analyzing these claims—sourced from the IMF's International Financial Statistics—economists can gain insights into monetary policy effectiveness and the central bank's role in stabilizing the economy. A higher ratio may signal increased central bank intervention in domestic markets, while a lower ratio can indicate a more restrained approach, reflecting broader economic conditions and fiscal health.
