FINANCIAL WEALTH IN BRAZIL: A STUDY BASED ON IBGE'S WHOM-TO-WHOM FINANCIAL BALANCE-SHEET MATRIX

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to extract a picture as detailed as possible of the size and structure of the financial wealth in Brazil, using the financial accounts (2005-2009), the balance sheet accounts (2004-2009) and the balance sheet matrix for the year 2009. Two contributions made by this paper are the calculation of the intrasectoral financial positions, as well as the very presentation of the balance sheet matrix. Furthermore, based on the Brazilian Central Bank financial statements, the paper manages to unwind, for some purposes, the dubious aggregate in which the Monetary Authority figures are mixed with those of the other financial firms.

KEYWORDS:
