Accounting of the financial sector corresponds to the requirements of ESA 2010. |
The data are comparable with the data of other European Union countries because common methodology, concepts and definitions are used. | |
Time series based on the common methodology start from 2003. As of 2017, to reduce the administrative burden of data providers, companies that submit their data directly to the Financial Supervision Authority are excluded. As of 2018, interest income/expenditure and dividend income/expenditure are collected by this statistical activity. Prior to that these were collected by 21300 “Financial statistics of financial service activities and activities auxiliary to financial services (annual)”. | |

Data are collected and the submission of questionnaires is monitored through eSTAT (the web channel for electronic data submission). The questionnaires have been designed for independent completion in eSTAT and include instructions and controls. The questionnaires and information about data submission are available on the website of Statistics Estonia in the section Questionnaires. Data are collected with the quarterly statistical questionnaire “Financial statistics of financial service activities and activities auxiliary to financial services”. Data from the Eesti Pank (the central bank of Estonia) are received by e-mail. Data from Tax and Customs Board are received via FTP-server and X-Road and from the commercial register via X-Road. | |
Arithmetic and qualitative controls are used in the validation process, including comparison with the data of previous periods and other surveys. | |
In case of missing or unreliable data, missing values are imputed according to set rules. Variables and statistical units which were not collected but which are necessary for producing output are calculated. New variables are calculated by applying arithmetic conversion to already existing variables. This may be done repeatedly; the derived variable may, in turn, be based on previously derived variables. Microdata are aggregated to the level necessary for analysis. The collected data are converted into statistical output. This includes calculating additional indicators. | |
