Financial Soundness Indicators
Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) show the health, strength, and risks of a country's financial system. Developed mainly by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), regulators use such indicators to spot weaknesses in credit and financial institutions. A detailed methodological description of the statistics can be found on the
IMF's website where extensive FSI metadata are published. The concepts and definitions underpinning these FSIs are mainly based on the 'The Financial Soundness Indicators: Compilation Guide (Guide)' and its amendments as reflected in the note 'Amendments to the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs): Compilation Guide (Guide)' of the IMF.
