The database on Institutional investors' assets constitutes an attempt to better integrate these data in the framework of the System of National Accounts (SNA).
Some of the OECD Member countries compile the Institutional Investors' assets questionnaire (based on 1993 SNA), according to the 2008 SNA. The Member countries which are still producing national accounts according to the 1993 SNA will switch to the new 2008 SNA over the upcoming months/years. In that regard, a new version of the Institutional Investors' assets dataset, based on 2008 SNA sector and instrument classifications, will be deployed in 2015. This will allow the improvement of cross-countries comparability.
The consistency between the quarterly and the annual data is not ensured within the dataset, given that the quarterly data collection has been suspended in 2014.
