Due to re-classification of items in statistical return from 1991:

Foreign currency component available only from 1991, figures before 1991 are included in ‘Other assets".

Values from 1991 onwards are not strictly comparable to those in the past.

The nearest equivalent of the total of these four items before 1991 is the item "Treasury bills, securities, share-holdings and interests in land and buildings'.
