Data released on January 22, 2021 included revised historical data for three series between 1973 and 2009. The three revised series were: other assets including trading assets; borrowings; and other liabilities including trading liabilities. No other historical data were revised.
As background, on January 12, 2018, several changes to line items shown on the H.8 release were announced. Some of the changes involved the combination of series that had previously been available separately. Three such changes were:
1. Trading assets, previously published separately, became part of other assets;
2. Similarly, trading liabilities became part of other liabilities;
3. Borrowings from banks and borrowings from nonbanks, previously published separately, became borrowings.
At the time of the announcement, historical data for these three newly combined series were made available back to 2010. Recently, estimations of these three series were constructed for periods prior to 2010, and the data were made available through the Data Download Program as of January 22, 2021.
