Sub-total may not necessarily add up to grand total due to rounding. With effect from April 2006, folowing reclassifications under the Financial Institutions Statistical System (FISS),
loans/financing by economic sector/industry encompass non-household customers while loans by purpose encompass loans to all customers.
Therefore, a loan to a non-household customer will be reflected in both economic sector/industry and purpose. Loans by sector (economic/industry+household sector) = Loans by purpose (total loans) 2
