The charts below show the differences between the 3 and 12 months LIBOR (London Interbank rate) and EONIA (European [Interbank] Overnight Index Average) rates. The size of the gap (the black line) and its trend are a direct measure of how much various banks trust or distrust each other, and indirectly a measure of crisis or calm.

Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves (COFER)
These charts show where the reserves of the various central banks of the world are held, and are useful in determining longer term trends and trend changes. Note that data is only issued and published quarterly, and that the data only covers about 50-60% of the world's central banks (China is not included for example).
Note: "unallocated" in this context means that the central banks have not reported where the full amount of their reserves are located.
As of mid 2006, about 33% of their total reserves is secret and undisclosed.
