Abstract: Abstract A country’s flow of funds accounts (FFA) provide a bird’s-eye view of the interdependence between real economy and financial economy from the macroeconomic perspective, reflecting the inflows, outflows, and stock of funds. With a history of more than 70 years, the statistical scope of this concept includes the domestic and overseas sectors, and most countries in the world have adopted this system as an international standard. This study reviews the historical background of FFA and briefly describes how the various updates of the versions of a system of national accounts (SNA) impact FFA and highlights the general situation of FFA. Furthermore, we analyze the FFA of the United States, Japan, and China and discuss the development and prospects of flow of funds statistics and methods of analysis.
