GUIDELINE (EU) 2016/450 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 4 December 2015
amending Guideline ECB/2014/15 on monetary and financial statistics (ECB/2015/44)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
It is necessary to update the compilation of monetary and financial statistics in view of the fact that, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/50) (2), insurance corporations will be subject to statistical reporting requirements starting with the reference period Q1 of 2016. It is therefore necessary to start compiling statistics on insurance corporations (ICs) within the framework set out in Guideline ECB/2014/15 (3). |
|
(2) |
Guideline ECB/2014/15 should be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:
Article 1
Amendments
Guideline ECB/2014/15 is amended as follows:
|
1. |
in Article 1, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: NCBs shall report the items referred to in Articles 3 to 26a in accordance with the schemes set out in Annex II and in accordance with the electronic reporting standards set out in Annex III. By the end of September each year, the ECB shall communicate the exact transmission dates to NCBs in the form of a reporting calendar for the following year.’; |
|
2. |
in Article 25 the following paragraph is added to paragraph 1: ‘To enable the establishment and maintenance of the list of ICs for statistical purposes referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/50) (*), the variables specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V need to be collected in RIAD at the intervals prescribed. NCBs shall report any updates of these variables, in particular when an institution joins or leaves the IC population. NCBs shall transmit complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries, on all resident branches irrespective of where their parent undertakings are located, as well as on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident outside the economic territory of the Union. This set of information shall be complemented by complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident in non-reporting, non-participating Member States. This reporting may be based on wider data collection covering all branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries, irrespective of their country of residence. (*) Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank of 28 November 2014 on statistical reporting requirements for insurance corporations (ECB/2014/50) (OJ L 366, 20.12.2014, p. 36)’;" |
|
3. |
in Article 25 the following paragraph is added to paragraph 2: ‘In the first submission of the list of ICs, NCBs shall transmit to the ECB complete quarterly reference data as specified in Part 1 of Annex V on resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries not later than 31 March 2016. However, NCBs are encouraged to transmit this information by 31 December 2015. NCBs shall transmit to the ECB complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on all resident branches irrespective of where their parent undertakings are located, as well as on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident outside the economic territory of the Union and in non-reporting, non-participating Member States not later than 31 July 2016. Attributes required on an annual basis shall be reported for all institutions by 31 July 2016. In the subsequent transmissions, NCBs shall transmit to the ECB updates of the quarterly variables specified for ICs on at least a quarterly basis, within two months following the reference date. The annual variables shall be updated for all ICs on an annual basis, with a maximum lag of six months following the reference date of 31 December.’; |
|
4. |
in Article 25, the following paragraph is added to paragraph 3: ‘By 18.00 CET on the fourth working day following the deadline for transmitting updates, the ECB shall take a copy of the IC dataset and make it available to the NCBs. The ECB shall then make the list of ICs available on its website.’; |
|
5. |
in Article 26, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: The reporting frequency to the ECB shall be quarterly. PF statistics described in paragraph 1(a) shall be reported to the ECB within a period not exceeding 80 calendar days from the end of the reference quarter. The exact transmission dates shall be communicated to NCBs in advance in the form of a reporting calendar provided by the ECB by September of each year.’; |
|
6. |
the following Article 26a is inserted: ‘Article 26a Statistics on ICs NCBs shall report statistical information on IC assets and liabilities as well as information on premiums, claims and commissions in accordance with Part 23 of Annex II. Information will be provided for each of the following types of IC: life insurance, non-life insurance, composite and reinsurance. These requirements shall cover end-quarter stocks and quarterly flow adjustments on IC assets and liabilities, as well as annual information on premiums, claims and commissions. Supplementary information shall be transmitted as memorandum items by countries for which this information is available, including on a best estimate basis, in accordance with Part 23 of Annex II. NCBs shall report to the ECB separate data on revaluation adjustments (covering both price and exchange-rate changes) and reclassification adjustments, as set out in Part 23 of Annex II and in accordance with Annex IV. Financial transactions, including adjustments, shall be derived in accordance with the ESA 2010. NCBs may deviate from the ESA 2010 due to divergent national practices in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50). Where asset-by-asset (a-b-a) stock information is available, revaluation adjustments may be derived in accordance with a common Eurosystem method, i.e. the flow-derivation method referred to in Part 6 of Annex IV. Approximations of financial transactions on liabilities may be derived in line with Part 6 of Annex IV. NCBs shall report to the ECB quarterly IC data by close of business on the 10th working day following the deadline specified for quarterly data in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50). For a transitional period covering the reporting of the first three quarters of 2016, this deadline is extended to the 30th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q1 of 2016, to the 25th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q2 of 2016 and to the 20th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q3 of 2016. NCBs shall report to the ECB annual IC data by close of business on the 10th working day following the deadline specified for annual data in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50). The exact transmission dates shall be communicated to NCBs in advance in the form of a reporting calendar provided by the ECB by September of each year. In the first reporting of the quarterly IC data to the ECB, NCBs shall be required to submit data on outstanding amounts. Flow adjustments shall be transmitted on a best efforts basis. The following general rules shall apply to revisions of quarterly and annual data:
To ensure the quality of the euro area IC statistics, where NCBs grant derogations to the smallest ICs in accordance with Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), they shall gross up the quarterly IC data reported to the ECB to 100 % coverage. NCBs may choose the procedure for grossing-up to 100 % coverage based on the data collected in accordance with Article 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) provided that estimates are based on the corresponding type of IC (i.e. life, non-life, reinsurance, composite). NCBs shall also ensure that, for the reference quarters of 2016, the data reported to the ECB represent 100 % of the reporting population. NCBs who intend to grant derogations to the smallest ICs under Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), shall collect all necessary information to ensure that data transmitted to the ECB is of high quality. NCBs who derive the required data from data collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (**) may, for this purpose: (i) extend the data collected for the opening day as of reference date 1 January 2016 (see paragraph 5); (ii) increase the coverage of the reporting population of the first reference quarter(s); or (iii) use alternative data sources from which grossed-up data of equally high quality can be derived. NCBs shall transmit to the ECB end-2015 stock data, which may include approximations if needed, for the main aggregates as set out in Part 23 of Annex II. NCBs may, for this purpose, use the data referring to 1 January 2016 collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC. These data shall be transmitted to the ECB together with the data for Q1 of 2016. NCBs shall derive the aggregated quarterly data on assets and liabilities for each type of IC in accordance with Tables 2a and 2b of Part 23 of Annex II as follows:
NCBs shall transmit to the ECB best estimates on the IC holdings of IF shares/units broken down by main investment objective (i.e. bond funds, equity funds, mixed funds, real estate funds, hedge funds and other funds). These data may be derived by mapping the information provided on an s-b-s basis in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) to the information derived from the CSDB as the reference database. If the IF shares/units held are not found in the CSDB, the NCBs shall estimate the missing data or use alternative sources to derive the data. As a transitional measure, NCBs may transmit these data to the ECB for the first time when transmitting data for Q2 2016, covering also the data for Q1 2016. In accordance with Article 4(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), NCBs shall collect data on non-life insurance technical reserves broken down by line of business and geographical area on an annual basis. NCBs shall transmit quarterly data to the ECB which may be estimated based on the data collected annually. The valuation and/or accounting rules in Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) shall also apply when the NCBs report IC data to the ECB. NCBs shall submit explanatory notes explaining the reasons for significant revisions and revisions provided outside regular production periods in line with Article 26a(3)(c). In addition, the NCBs shall provide the ECB with explanatory notes concerning reclassification adjustments. NCBs may collect data from all insurance corporations resident in the country (‘host approach’), in accordance with Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) or they may derive the data required for ESCB purposes from data collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) (‘home approach’). In principle, data transmitted to the ECB in accordance with this Guideline shall represent the host approach. However, NCBs who derive the data required for ESCB purposes from the supervisory data collection may transmit the data following the home approach as long as the difference between the host approach and home approach data is not deemed significant. The issue of whether or not the difference between the host and the home approach is significant shall be assessed on the basis of data on premiums reported in accordance with Table 3 of Part 23 of Annex II to this Guideline. Following this assessment, the ECB, in close cooperation with NCBs, will define the approach to be followed regarding the transmission of host approach data to the ECB. Until this approach is defined, NCBs are exempted from adjusting their data. NCBs who wish to adjust their data may, on a voluntary and best efforts basis, derive host approach data from data collected in accordance with the home approach. For this purpose, bilateral contacts and exchanges of data may take place between the NCBs concerned.

in Annex III, Parts 2, 3 and 4 are replaced by the following: ‘PART 2 DSDs and datasets 1. In the SDMX messages exchanged, statistical concepts can be used either as dimensions (in composing the ‘keys’ identifying the time series) or as attributes (providing information about the data). Coded dimensions and attributes take their values from predefined code lists. The DSDs define the structure of the exchanged series keys, in terms of concepts and associated code lists. In addition, they define their relationship with the relevant attributes. The same structure can be used for several data flows, which are differentiated by the data set information. 2. In the context of monetary and financial statistics, the ECB has defined 12 DSDs currently used for the exchange of statistics with the ESCB and other international organisations. For the majority of those DSDs, one data set using that structure is exchanged and as a consequence the DSD identifier and the associated data set identifier (DSI) used in the SDMX data messages are the same. For treatment, timeliness and responsibility purposes, two different data sets following the ‘ECB_BSI1’ DSD have been defined and are distinguished at the DSI level. Similarly, two different data sets following the ‘ECB_ICPF1’ DSD have been defined and are distinguished at the DSI level. The following data flows characteristics are in production:
2.1. The DSI ‘ECB_BSI1’ is used to define the series keys for data on:
2.2. For the purposes of insurance corporations and pension funds (ICPF), the DSI ‘ECB_ICPF1’ is used to define the series keys for data on insurance corporations' assets and liabilities and on pension funds' assets and liabilities. PART 3 Dimensions The table below identifies the dimensions composing the series keys of the specific monetary and financial statistics listed in Part 2, their format and the code lists from which they take their code values.
Frequency. This dimension indicates the frequency of the reported time series. The specific data exchange requirements are as follows:
Reference area. This dimension relates to the country of residence of the reporting institution. In the ‘ECB_SEC1’ DSD, it indicates the country of residence of the issuing sector (*). Adjustment indicator. This dimension indicates whether a seasonal adjustment and/or a working day adjustment are applied. Balance sheet reference sector breakdown. This dimension refers to the reporting sector according to the breakdown defined in the associated code list. Reference sector breakdown.

This dimension refers to the sector of the securities issuers (in the ‘ECB_SEC1’ DSD). PSS information type. This dimension represents the general type of information to be provided in the context of the ‘ECB_PSS1’ DSD. PSS instrument. This dimension, used in the ‘ECB_PSS1’ DSD, indicates the particular type of instrument/device used for the payment transactions, e.g. cards with a cash function or credit transfers, etc. PSS entry point. This dimension is linked to the type of terminal or system through which the underlying payments transaction was done. For the correspondence of payment systems and PSS entry point code values, see Part 16 of Annex II. PSS data type. In the PSS context, this dimension gives the unit of measurement for the observation, i.e. whether a number or a value should be reported for the item (e.g. number of transactions per card, value of transactions per card, etc.). Compilation approach. This dimension indicates whether data represent the home or the host approach. Other financial intermediaries reporting sector. This dimension indicates the sector of the reporting institution within the OFI sector. Investment funds reporting sector. This dimension indicates the sector of the reporting institution within the IF sector. Financial vehicle corporations reporting sector. This dimension indicates the sector of the reporting institution within the FVC sector. Reporting sector. This dimension indicates whether the reporting institution is a PF or a type of IC. CBD reference sector breakdown. This dimension indicates the ownership and type of the reporting institution (domestic credit institutions versus foreign controlled subsidiaries or branches). CBD sector size. This dimension indicates the size of the reporting institution with respect to its total assets. It only applies to the domestic credit institutions. Structural financial indicator.

This dimension indicates the item of the MFI balance sheet as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33). Other financial intermediaries balance sheet item. This dimension indicates an item of the OFI balance sheet. OFIs concentrate on different financial activities depending on the type of institution, and not all balance sheet items apply to all types of intermediaries. Therefore, while most of the balance sheet items are common to all types of other financial intermediaries, ‘other assets’ and ‘other liabilities’ can have different definitions for different types of intermediaries. On the asset side, two different definitions are adopted for the ‘other assets’ item: (a) for security and derivative dealers (SDDs) this item includes loans; and (b) for financial corporations engaged in lending (FCLs) the item includes deposits, cash, investment fund shares, fixed assets and financial derivatives. With regard to the ‘other liabilities’ item: (a) for SDDs this item excludes debt securities, capital and reserves and financial derivatives; and (b) for FCLs this item includes financial derivatives. Securities item. This dimension refers to the items taken from the list of items set up for the monetary union financial accounts (MUFA) in line with the European System of Accounts concepts.

This dimension indicates the item of the CBD reporting scheme to be reported (from the banks' income statement, balance sheet and capital adequacy reports). Original maturity. For the ‘ECB_BSI1’, ‘ECB_FVC1’, ‘ECB_IVF1’, ‘ECB_CBD1’ and ‘ECB_OFI1’ DSDs, this dimension indicates the original maturity of the BSI. For the ‘ECB_MIR1’ DSD, this dimension indicates, for items on outstanding amounts, the breakdown by original maturity or period of notice of the deposits or loans; for items on new business, it indicates the breakdown by original maturity or period of notice in the case of deposits and the initial period of fixation in the case of loans. Maturity. This dimension indicates the original and the remaining maturity of the instrument in the ‘ECB_ICPF1’ DSD. Securities valuation. This dimension identifies the valuation method used for securities issues statistics in the ‘ECB_SEC1’ DSD. Data type.

This dimension, which is ‘BIS_CBS’ specific, represents the area of residence of the reporting institutions. CBS bank type. This dimension, which is ‘BIS_CBS’ specific, refers to the group of the corresponding reporting sector. For transmission to the ECB the code ‘4P’ should be used, namely, data should be reported only for domestic bank offices referring to CBD large banking groups. CBS reporting basis. This dimension, which is ‘BIS_CBS’ specific, represents the recording basis of a claim or exposure. CBS position type. This dimension, which is ‘BIS_CBS’ specific, represents the type of financial position recorded by the data. CBS remaining maturity.

This dimension, which is ‘ECB_MIR1’ DSD specific, indicates whether the MFI interest rates statistics refer to outstanding amounts or to a new business. PART 4 Attributes The sections below explain in detail the attributes associated with the exchanged data. Section 1 defines the attributes per DSD including their format and attachment level. Section 2 sets out the responsibility of the ESCB data exchange partners in the creation of attributes and their maintenance, as well as the status of the attributes. Sections 3, 4 and 5 focus on the content of the attributes sorted by attachment level, respectively the sibling, time series and observation level. Section 1: Coded and uncoded attributes defined in the ECB_BSI1, ECB_SSI1, ECB_MIR1, ECB_OFI1, ECB_SEC1, ECB_PSS1, ECB_IVF1, ECB_FVC1, ECB_CBD1, BIS_CBS, ECB_ICPF1 and ECB_ICO1 DSDs In addition to the dimensions defining the series keys, a set of attributes is defined. The attributes are attached at various levels of the exchanged information: at sibling, time series or observation level. As illustrated below, they either take their value from pre-defined lists of codes or are uncoded, and are used to add textual explanations on relevant data aspects. Attribute values are exchanged only when they are set for the first time and whenever they change with the exception of the mandatory attributes attached at observation level, which are attached to each observation and reported at every data transmission. The table below provides information on the attributes defined for each DSD under consideration, on the level at which they are attached, their format and the name of the code lists from which coded attributes take their values.
