Description of table L.231 - Unidentified Miscellaneous Financial Claims

For many sectors, unidentified miscellaneous financial claims are determined indirectly as the residual after the individual "identified" asset or liability items for the sector (which appear on other instrument tables) have been subtracted from the sector's total assets or liabilities. For other sectors, the amount of such claims is obtained directly as the total amount reported by original sources as "other" assets or liabilities.

In most cases, the nature of the items in this category is truly unidentified. In some cases, however, items that are identified separately in original documents are included here because the items are not significant enough from an analytical viewpoint to be classified as individual transaction categories.
