Government finance statistics: currency & deposits

Image
  The   general government   financial accounts published by Eurostat cover   transactions in financial assets and liabilities   as well as the stock of financial assets and liabilities.  Governments hold currency and deposit assets (stocks) such as money in bank accounts and cash reserves to make daily payments. In the first quarter of 2023, currency and deposits amounted to  €1 278 billion and represented 19.5% of total EU general government financial assets.  This information comes from  data  on quarterly government finance published by Eurostat today. The article presents a handful of findings from the more detailed  Statistics Explained article .  Currency and deposit assets tend to decline at the end of the fourth quarter of each year. In some budgetary systems, there are efforts to execute payments by the end of the year, thus shortening the balance sheet. With excess deposits, governments can also decrease their gross debt, for example, by (re)purchasing government bonds. Hold

  Deciphering fish species interactions for climate change insights A team led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a technique to study how different fish species interact with one another in a coastal region, a breakthrough that helps explain the complex relationships among marine species and how global warming impacts fish populations. By analyzing minute traces of  fish  DNA from samples of seawater, the team combined the use of environmental DNA—known as eDNA—and advanced  statistical analysis  to not only detect the presence of fish  species , but also reveal how the species interact with each other. The use of eDNA to monitor biodiversity has surged in popularity in recent years, particularly for detecting aquatic organisms like fish. As animals move through their environment, they shed fragments of genetic material, such as skin cells, waste products, and other body fluids. By extracting these traces of DNA from samples of water, soil, or

  Acceptance Sampling: Meaning, Types, and FAQ Acceptance sampling is a statistical measure used in  quality control . It allows a company to determine the quality of a batch of products by selecting a specified number for testing. The quality of this designated sample will be viewed as the quality level for the entire group of products. A company cannot test every one of its products at all times. There may be too many to inspect at a reasonable cost or within a reasonable timeframe. Also, comprehensive testing might damage the product or make it unfit for sale in some way.  Testing a small sample  would be indicative without ruining the bulk of the product run. Understanding Acceptance Sampling Acceptance sampling tests a  representative sample  of the product for defects. The process involves first, determining the size of a product lot to be tested, then the number of products to be sampled, and finally the number of defects acceptable within the sample batch. Products are chosen a
