Financial statistics exhibit some very great contrasts as regards availability. Some were collected and published from a very early date. Others may have been collected, but have been regarded as state secrets. And yet others were not collected for a long time, either because they were regarded as private secrets, publication of which it was beyond the competence of the state to compel, or because there were no permanent financial institutions from which it was possible to request them.
