Features: This textbook is a macrofinancial statistics teaching material that combines international standards with Chinese practices, jointly compiled by the Chinese statistical community and practical statistical workers from the central bank after the release of the IMF's "Manual on Monetary and Financial Statistics (2000)." Compared to previous financial statistics textbooks, this one has three distinctive features: (1) A new organizational system, breaking the traditional framework of "statistical principles plus financial business statistics" and establishing a scientific discipline system for monetary and financial statistics; (2) Forward-looking, with the system construction and content arrangement primarily based on the IMF's "Manual on Monetary and Financial Statistics," "Guidelines for Compiling Financial Soundness Indicators (2003)," and the "System of National Accounts (1993)" formulated by the IMF and others; (3) A close integration of theory, international standards, and Chinese practices, using standardized international "statistical language" to explain relevant content of China's monetary and financial statistics. In this revision, practical and conceptual aspects of China have been supplemented, and the accompanying "Monetary and Financial Learning Exercises" have also been revised accordingly, with the updated exercises provided on a CD attached to the book. This textbook is suitable for teaching use in universities and colleges for finance and statistics majors, as well as for reference by personnel engaged in financial statistics work and economic analysis using statistical information.
