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'.
