Coverage and fields
What goes into the BlockPhi Global Liquidity Model, what comes out, how often, and in what form.
I Summary
The Global Liquidity Model is a composite that measures the balance-sheet capacity behind global credit: the balance sheets of five central banks plus 17 government debt markets, revalued every Friday in US dollars and multiplied by a collateral multiplier keyed to the US ten-year Treasury yield.
- Series
Global Liquidity Model. Global Liquidity, its collateral base, central bank money, sovereign debt and the collateral multiplier.
- Components
22 components: five central bank balance sheets, each named with its publisher, and 17 government debt markets, with quantities from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) debt securities statistics.
- Observation and publication
Weekly, as of Friday. Published every Friday after the US close.
- Licensed delivery
Licensed delivery by API or CSV, set up for each firm once terms are agreed, by Saturday 12:00 UTC. Licensed delivery is not self-serve.
- History
Weekly from January 2020. Recorded live since 31 July 2026. Weeks before 31 July 2026 are reconstructed with the current method, each input entering on a lag that follows its usual release schedule. They are not a record of what was known on each date. Component rows are recorded live since 11 September 2026.
- Samples
Headline and component sample files, on request.
II Output fields
A licensed headline row carries six fields. Every field is weekly, as of Friday. Amounts are in US$ trillions.
| Field | Meaning | Unit | Type | On this site |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week ending | The Friday the week is stamped to | Date | Date, ISO 8601 | Latest week |
| Global Liquidity | The collateral base times the collateral multiplier | US$ trillions | Decimal | Latest week, chart |
| Collateral base | Central bank money plus sovereign debt | US$ trillions | Decimal | Latest week, chart |

| Sovereign debt | The 17 government debt markets, revalued every Friday | US$ trillions | Decimal | Latest week |
| Collateral multiplier | Keyed to the US ten-year Treasury yield. Equals Global Liquidity divided by the collateral base. | Ratio | Decimal | Latest week |
| Per component (22 each week) | Each component in its own currency and in US dollars, with the exchange rate and, where one applies, the yield used to value it | Local currency and US$ trillions | Confirmed at contract stage | US dollar charts on the Global Liquidity page, frozen at the week ending 18 September 2026 |
“Latest week” is the dated panel on the Global Liquidity page. “Chart” is its weekly chart from January 2020. Every headline field is also in the headline sample file (section V).
The fields delivered per component are confirmed at contract stage, subject to each publisher’s terms.
The regime (expansion or contraction), the six-week change and per-week data-quality flags are not among the six headline fields. Whether a licence delivers them is confirmed at contract stage.
III Inputs, by publisher
The collateral base is built from 22 components: the balance sheets of five central banks and 17 government debt markets. They are revalued every Friday in US dollars, at current exchange rates and, for six markets, current government bond yields.
