Statistical Terms Glossary

Populations of sea cucumbers within a fishery that have declined to levels whereby the rate of natural reproduction and population replenishment is poor, or unable to keep pace with mortality losses, due to low densities of breeding adults.

Depletion (in natural resource accounting) for renewable resources, refers to the part of the harvest, logging, catch and so forth above the sustainable level of the resource stock; for non—renewable resources, the quantity of resources extracted

The balancing item of the extended generation of income account. It equals the net operating surplus less extraction of non-produced biological assets plus natural growth of non-produced biological assets plus returns to non-produced biological assets less extraction of subsoil resources plus enhancement to the value of subsoil resources plus returns to subsoil resources.

The balancing item of the SNA use of income account, after adjustments for the operating surplus (transition from operating surplus to depletion-adjusted operating surplus).

Depletion costs refer to the monetary value of the quantitative depletion (beyond replenishment or regeneration) of natural assets by economic activities.
Depletion of natural resources results from their uses as raw materials in production or directly in final (household) consumption

The depletion of natural economic assets is the reduction in the value of deposits of subsoil assets as a result of their physical removal, the depletion of water resources, and the depletion of natural forests, fish stocks in the open seas and other non-cultivated biological resources as a result of harvesting, forest clearance, or other use.

Nutrient depletion is one of the major forms of soil degradation. Continuous cropping without adequate restorative practices may pose threats to the sustainability of agriculture.

Annual amount of water withdrawn from renewable aquifers which is not replenished (average overexploitation of aquifers). When the action is continuous, it is a form of overdraft of rechargeable aquifers or mining. Over a long period of time, there is a risk of depleting the aquifer when the abstraction exceeds the recharge.

Depletion-adjusted national income equals depletion-adjusted NDP plus any primary income received from the rest of the world less any primary income paid to the rest of the world.

The balance of the production account. It equals NDP (net domestic product) less any damage adjustments to asset valuation not included in consumption of fixed capital less depletion of natural resources.

Deposit banks is a term covering deposit money banks and other bank-like institutions accepting deposits

A standing facility of the Eurosystem which counterparties may use to make overnight deposits, remunerated at a pre-specified interest rate, at a national central bank (NCB).

A formal scheme normally established by law that is designed to limit the losses of depositors in the event of bank failure(s). Typically, the scheme is intended to support the confidence in the financial system of small-scale depositors and thus reduce the risk of systemic crises being caused by panic withdrawals of deposits. The scheme can be privately or government operated and funded.

Deposit money banks are resident depository corporations and quasi-corporations which have any liabilities in the form of deposits payable on demand, transferable by cheque or otherwise usable for making paymentsز

Deposit money corporations consist of resident depository corporations and quasi-corporations which have any liabilities in the form of deposits payable on demand, transferable by cheque or otherwise usable for making payments

The rate of interest paid by banks on deposits.

A technique devised to permit trading in a security, even though the security does not fulfil the requirements for listing on the local stock exchange. A security is bought and registered in the name of the depositary bank or company, which will issue a receipt certifying that the receipt conveys the title to the security deposited with it or held to its order. If the receipt is in bearer form, it can then be freely bought and sold, whereas direct dealing in the stock would have needed registration of the new owner's name every time the security changed hands.

A depository receipt allows a nonresident entity to introduce its equity or debt into another market in a form more readily acceptable to the investors in that market. A depository bank will purchase the underlying foreign security and then issue receipts in a currency more acceptable to the investor. The investor can exchange the depository receipts for the underlying security at any time.

A deposit-refund system is the surcharge on the price of potentially polluting products. When pollution is avoided by returning the products or their residuals, a refund of the surcharge is granted

Deposits are sums placed with a financial institution for credit to a customer’s account
