GUIDELINE (EU) 2024/2798 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 10 October 2024
amending Guideline (EU) 2021/831 on statistical information to be reported on financial intermediaries other than monetary financial institutions (ECB/2021/12) (ECB/2024/27)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) thereof,
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,
Whereas:
(1) |
It is necessary to update the common rules for the collection and treatment of statistical information on investment funds by national central banks (NCBs) in view of the fact that, pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1988 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2024/17) (1), investment funds will be subject to new and amended statistical reporting requirements from the December 2025 reference period. |
(2) |
The Eurosystem needs to make use of individual investment funds’ asset and liability statistics collected in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1988 (ECB/2024/17) in order to conduct effective analysis for monetary policy, financial stability and macroprudential policy purposes. For these purposes, the euro area investment fund sector has grown in importance in recent years and individual investment fund data enables the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) to undertake more advanced analyses on the sector. NCBs should therefore be required to report the necessary statistical information on individual investment funds to the European Central Bank (ECB). |
(3) |
NCBs are currently required to report to the ECB statistical information available at national level on the assets and liabilities held and issued by certain other financial intermediaries except insurance corporations and pensions funds (OFIs). As similar statistical information on these entities is reported by the NCBs to the ECB pursuant to Guideline ECB/2013/24 of the European Central Bank (2) following its amendment in 2021 (3) , NCBs should no longer be required to report statistical information on OFIs under Guideline (EU) 2021/831 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/12) (4), so as to minimise their reporting burden. |
(4) |
It is no longer deemed necessary for the ECB to collect statistical information on central counterparties (CCPs) for the purpose of confirming the corrections made for MFI loans to, and deposits from, CCPs in the monetary aggregates and counterparts. The information so far collected has confirmed the long-standing corrections in the monetary aggregates and counterparts, and alternative sources already available to the ECB may be used for monitoring the business carried out by CCPs and to determine if these corrections may be reassessed. It is therefore appropriate for the regular reporting of such statistical information pursuant to Guideline (EU) 2021/831 (ECB/2021/12) to be discontinued. |
(5) |
Therefore, Guideline (EU) 2021/831 (ECB/2021/12) should be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:
Article 1
Amendments to Guideline (EU) 2021/831 (ECB/2021/12)

For the purposes of the first subparagraph, NCBs may revise statistical information covering previous reference periods at any time where this significantly improves the quality of the information.
