Total Deposits
Total Deposits measures the stock of deposits held by residents in depository institutions, covering all types of currency and maturity. Published in the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Latin Macro Watch (LMW), this indicator helps researchers, policymakers and analysts gauge bank funding, savings behaviour and financial system depth across Latin America and the Caribbean.
Coverage
Total Deposits is available for 24 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean at annual, monthly and quarterly frequency, spanning 1990 to 2026. Values can be expressed as a share of GDP or M2, in millions of USD or domestic currency, at constant CPI-deflated prices and on a seasonally adjusted basis (end-of-period and period-average variants). Transformations include three-, six- and twelve-month moving averages (MA3, MA6, MA12) and month-over-month, quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth rates (MoM %, QoQ %, YoY %).
Sources
The series is compiled from national central banks and statistical agencies, including Banco Central do Brasil, Banco de Mexico (Banxico), Banco de la República de Colombia, Bank of Jamaica and Banco Central de Reserva del Perú. Coverage corresponds to the banking system and approximates broader depository institutions, but excludes the popular savings and credit sector and credit unions, a segment that is small relative to bank deposits.
