Definition: Securities other than shares

Category: ESA 1995

Financial assets which are negotiable and bearer instruments, are usually traded on secondary markets, and do not grant the holder any ownership rights in the institutional unit issuing them.

This category is divided into two sub-categories:
a) securities other than shares, excluding financial derivatives; 
b) financial derivatives. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/product?code=CA-15-96-001&mode=view
