REGULATION (EU) 2021/379 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 22 January 2021
on the balance sheet items of credit institutions and of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2021/2)
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 Article 5 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), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 6(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank (2), and in particular Article 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/33) (3) has been amended and requires further substantial amendments, in particular in the light of recent amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2003/9 (4) Regulation (EU) 2017/1131 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). It should therefore be recast in the interests of clarity. |
|
(2) |
The European Commission was consulted on the amendments to the statistical requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. |
|
(3) |
Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires the European Central Bank (ECB) to specify the actual reporting population within the limits of the reference reporting population and entitles it to fully or partly exempt specific classes of reporting agents from its statistical reporting requirements. Article 6(4) provides that the ECB may adopt regulations specifying the conditions under which the right to verify or to carry out the compulsory collection of statistical information may be exercised. |
|
(4) |
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires Member States to organise themselves in the field of statistics and to cooperate fully with the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) in order to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising from Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB. |
|
(5) |
The ESCB requires, for the fulfilment of its tasks, statistical information on the financial assets and liabilities, in terms of outstanding amounts and transactions, on the monetary financial institution (MFI) sector and on credit institutions as defined in Union law. In order to provide the ECB with a comprehensive statistical picture of monetary developments in the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area Member States’), which are viewed as one economic territory, it is necessary to produce a consolidated balance sheet of the MFI sector based on a complete and homogeneous reporting population. Sufficiently detailed statistical information is also necessary to guarantee the continued analytical usefulness of the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts. |
|
(6) |
Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 amends, inter alia, the definition of ‘credit institutions’ in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council (7) to include systemic investment firms. Consequently, it is necessary to adapt the reference in the definition of ‘monetary financial institution’ in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) to the relevant amended provision in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 in order to maintain consistency in the common standards, definitions and classifications for the statistical classification of deposit-taking corporations, and the homogeneity of the MFI sector. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to ensure the continued availability of the statistical information on all credit institutions as defined in Article 4(1)(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, as amended, including for the calculation of the reserve bases for those credit institutions in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/378 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/1) (8). Non-MFI credit institutions are therefore included within the scope of the recast. |
|
(7) |
In order to reduce the overall reporting burden, it is desirable for the statistical information regarding the monthly balance sheet of credit institutions to be used for the regular calculation of the reserve base of the credit institutions subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1). Furthermore, the reporting requirements relating to the reserve base should be adapted to accommodate the reporting of deposits placed with credit institutions subject to minimum reserve requirements without reference to a specific statistical classification. |
|
(8) |
In order to facilitate the fulfilment of statistical requirements by groups of related reporting agents, it is appropriate that MFIs may be permitted to report on behalf of other reporting agents that are also MFIs resident in the same Member State. It is nevertheless necessary that the statistical information reported for such groups is sufficient, where relevant, for the calculation of the reserve base of credit institutions in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1). Therefore, statistical information necessary for the calculation of the reserve base of each member of such groups should be reported, except where the group has been permitted to report reserves on an aggregated basis for the group as a whole pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1). |
|
(9) |
It may be appropriate for national central banks (NCBs) to collect from the actual reporting population the statistical information necessary to fulfil the ECB’s statistical requirements as part of a broader statistical reporting framework which the NCBs establish under their own responsibility in accordance with Union or national law or established practice and which also serves other statistical purposes, provided that the fulfilment of the ECB’s statistical requirements is not jeopardised. This may also reduce the reporting burden. In order to foster transparency, it is appropriate, in these cases, to inform the reporting agents that data are collected to fulfil other statistical purposes. In specific cases, the ECB may rely on statistical information collected for such other purposes to fulfil its requirements. |
|
(10) |
The ECB needs to monitor the transmission of monetary policy and, in particular, the impact of changes in the interest rates applied to the main refinancing operations and targeted longer-term refinancing operations and of the purchases conducted under the asset purchase programmes on the lending conditions for households and non-financial corporations. In order for the ECB to monitor the conditions of credit in the real economy and its role as counterpart to the monetary aggregates in a more effective and timely manner, it is necessary to collect further statistical information on securitisations and other transfers by MFIs on a monthly basis, in particular relating to loans to households broken down by purpose and loans to non-financial corporations broken down by maturity. |
|
(11) |
The ECB requires statistical information on notional cash pooling so that the impact of deposits and loans in notional cash pools can be distinguished from that of other deposits and loans in the analysis of monetary and credit developments. |
|
(12) |
In order to facilitate the analysis of credit developments, certain definitions and reporting practices should be aligned with those of other regulatory reporting requirements established by the ECB. |
|
(13) |
It is also necessary to align the definition of money market funds (MMFs) for statistical purposes with supervisory rules in order to increase market transparency and facilitate reporting, in so far as the collective investment undertakings authorised under Regulation (EU) 2017/1131 issue financial instruments that are considered close substitutes for deposits. |
|
(14) |
In order to enhance analysis of the balance sheet of the MFI sector for the euro area as a whole, it is necessary to promote the harmonisation of the reporting requirements for certain items with complementing statistical information provided by NCBs under Guideline ECB/2014/15 of the European Central Bank (9). |
|
(15) |
In order for the ECB to effectively monitor interbank activity, it is necessary to collect information on assets and liabilities with breakdowns by MFI counterparties and to improve consistency between the counterparty information collected on a monthly and quarterly basis. |
|
(16) |
Furthermore, to clarify the relationship between MFIs and other parts of the financial sector, including financial intermediaries other than monetary financial institutions, and to support the compilation of monetary union financial accounts, it is necessary to collect statistical information on deposits and equities with breakdowns of counterparties by subsectors. |
|
(17) |
Information on MFIs’ holdings of debt securities issued by the governments of each Member State must be collected on a timely basis in order to accurately monitor exposures to these securities. Information on Member States should be complemented by information on assets and liabilities from Union authorities, including the Single Resolution Board (SRB) and the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). In addition, updates to reporting requirements are necessary as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union. |
|
(18) |
It is also necessary to collect information related to total real estate holdings to monitor the extent of ownership of such assets by MFIs, and better understand developments in their overall non-financial assets. |
|
(19) |
The latest monthly and quarterly requirements should be introduced with respect to reference periods falling within a calendar quarter in order to facilitate their implementation by reporting agents. Consequently, the first reporting of the monthly requirements is for the reference period January 2022, and the first reporting of the quarterly requirements refers to the first quarter of 2022. In order to ensure the continued availability of the necessary data, the quarterly data requirements should be maintained with respect to the reference period of the fourth quarter of 2021. The reporting requirements established pursuant to this Regulation should therefore apply after the respective reference period for the monthly information to be reported, namely 1 February 2022. |
|
(20) |
It is necessary to set up a procedure to carry out technical amendments to the Annexes to this Regulation in an effective manner, provided that such amendments neither change the underlying conceptual framework nor increase the reporting burden. Account should be taken of the views of the Statistics Committee of the ESCB when following this procedure. NCBs should propose such technical amendments to the Annexes to this Regulation through the Statistics Committee. |
|
(21) |
However, in order to ensure legal certainty, it is necessary that the provisions of this Regulation which are a direct consequence of the amendment to the definition of ‘credit institutions’ pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 apply at the same time as that amendment on 26 June 2021. |
|
(22) |
For reasons of consistency and legal certainty, it is also necessary that the provisions of this Regulation which refer to Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1) apply from the same date as the provisions of that Regulation, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

where the threshold referred to in point (a) is exceeded, NCBs may grant derogations to an MFI where the outstanding amounts on its balance sheet of notional cash pool deposits from, or loans to, euro area residents (excluding MFIs) does not exceed EUR 500 million. |
9. NCBs may grant derogations to MFIs in respect of the requirement to separately identify loans to sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status referred to in Section 3 of Part 2 of Annex I where those loans comprise less than 5 % of the total lending to households in the national MFI balance sheet.
Where NCBs grant derogations to MFIs pursuant to the first subparagraph, they shall also grant those same derogations to non-MFI credit institutions.
10. Where NCBs grant derogations pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5 and 9, they shall verify that the thresholds referred to therein are not exceeded. That verification shall be performed in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of the following year.
Where NCBs grant derogations pursuant to paragraph 8, they shall verify that the thresholds referred to therein are not exceeded. That verification shall be performed at least once every two years and in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of the following year.
Article 10
Minimum standards and national reporting arrangements
1. Reporting agents shall comply with the statistical reporting requirements to which they are subject in accordance with the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex IV.
2. NCBs shall define and implement the reporting arrangements to be followed by the actual reporting population in accordance with national requirements. NCBs shall ensure that these reporting arrangements provide the required statistical information and allow for accurate checking of the fulfilment of the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex IV.
Article 11
Mergers, divisions and reorganisations
1. An actual reporting agent shall notify the relevant NCB of a merger, division or other reorganisation where:
|
(a) |
that merger, division or other reorganisation is likely to affect an actual reporting agent’s fulfilment of its reporting requirements; and |
|
(b) |
the intention to implement the operation referred to in point (a) is public knowledge. |
2. The notification referred to in paragraph 1 shall:
|
(a) |
be given a reasonable time before the merger, division or other reorganisation takes effect; and |
|
(b) |
specify the procedures to be used to fulfil the statistical reporting requirements set out in this Regulation. |
3. Where a merger between reporting agents takes place between the end of a reference period and the deadline for the reporting of statistical information for that reference period determined by the relevant NCB pursuant to Article 7(1), the acquiring institution shall fulfil the reporting requirements of the acquired institutions for that reference period as if the merger had not occurred.
4. Where a merger between reporting agents takes place during a reference period, NCBs may permit the acquiring institution to report statistical information for the acquired institutions separately from its own statistical information for that reference period and for subsequent reference periods.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, NCBs may not permit the acquiring institution to report statistical information for the acquired institutions separately from its own statistical information for a period of longer than six months after the merger.
Article 12
Reporting of statistical information on the reserve base
1. Credit institutions shall report to the relevant NCB the statistical information referred to in Annex III that is necessary to calculate the reserve base of credit institutions in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1).
2. Credit institutions shall report, as a minimum, the statistical information set out in Table 1 in Part 1 of Annex III on a quarterly basis where the following apply:
|
(a) |
the credit institution is a tail institution; |
|
(b) |
the credit institution reports on behalf of a group, in accordance with Article 6, that is comprised solely of tail institutions. |
Article 13
Verification and compulsory collection
The NCBs shall exercise the right to verify or collect compulsorily the information which reporting agents are required to provide pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to the ECB’s right to exercise these rights itself. In particular, the NCBs shall exercise this right when an institution included in the actual reporting population does not fulfil the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex IV.
Article 14
First reporting
1. First reporting of monthly statistical information pursuant to Article 5(1) and (2) shall start with data for January 2022.
2. First reporting of quarterly statistical information pursuant to Article 5(1) and (2) shall start with data for the first quarter of 2022.
Article 15
Simplified amendment procedure
Taking account of the views of the Statistics Committee, the ECB’s Executive Board shall make any necessary technical amendments to the Annexes provided that such amendments neither change the underlying conceptual framework nor affect the reporting burden on reporting agents in Member States. The Executive Board shall inform the Governing Council of any such amendment without undue delay.
Article 16
Repeal
1. Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) is repealed with effect from 26 June 2021.
2. References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex VI.

With the exception of the statistical information referred to in Annex III necessary to calculate the reserve base of credit institutions in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1), NCBs may specify a date for non-MFI credit institutions to report the information in accordance with this paragraph. That date shall be no later than 31 March 2022.
3. NCBs may grant derogations to non-MFI credit institutions from the statistical reporting requirements referred to in paragraph 1 where the outstanding amounts of total assets of the reporting agent are less than or equal to EUR 350 million.
Where NCBs grant derogations pursuant to the first subparagraph, as a minimum they shall collect the statistical information referred to in Annex III necessary to calculate the reserve base of credit institutions in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1).
4. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, reporting agents shall not be required to report the real estate collateral breakdowns of credit referred to in Section 1 of Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33).

ANNEX I
STATISTICAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
PART 1
Identification of certain MFIs based on principles of substitutability of deposits
|
1.1. |
Financial institutions other than credit institutions which issue financial instruments that are considered close substitutes for deposits are classified as MFIs provided that they meet the MFI definition in other respects. The classification is based on the criteria of substitutability of deposits, i.e. whether liabilities are classified as deposits, which is determined by their liquidity, combining characteristics of transferability, convertibility, certainty and marketability, and having regard, where appropriate, to their term of issue.
These criteria for the substitutability of deposits are also applied to determine whether liabilities should be classified as deposits, unless there is a separate category for such liabilities. |
|
1.2. |
For the purposes both of determining substitutability of deposits and classifying liabilities as deposits:
|
|
1.3. |
Shares/units issued by collective investment undertakings that operate solely as employee savings schemes and where under those schemes investors are only permitted to redeem their investment in accordance with restrictive redemption terms not linked to market developments are not considered close substitutes for deposits. |
PART 2
Balance sheet (monthly outstanding amounts)
To compile the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts, the ECB requires the data in Table 1. Additional data are required for the purposes of the ECB’s minimum reserve system. The monthly requirements are as follows:
1. Instrument categories
(a) Liabilities
The relevant instrument categories are: currency in circulation, deposit liabilities, MMF shares/units issued, debt securities issued, capital and reserves and remaining liabilities. In order to separate monetary and non-monetary liabilities, deposit liabilities are also broken down into overnight deposits, deposits with agreed maturity, deposits redeemable at notice and repurchase agreements (repos). See definitions in Annex II.
(b) Assets
The relevant instrument categories are: cash, loans, debt securities held, equity, investment fund shares, non-financial assets and remaining assets. See definitions in Annex II.
2. Breakdown by maturity
Original maturity cut-offs provide a substitute for instrument detail where financial instruments are not fully comparable between markets.
(a) Liabilities
The cut-off points for the maturity bands, or for periods of notice, are: for deposits with agreed maturity, at one year and two years’ maturity at issue; and for deposits redeemable at notice, at three months’ and two years’ notice. Repos are not broken down by maturity as these are usually very short-term instruments, i.e. usually less than three months’ maturity at issue. Debt securities issued by MFIs are broken down at one and two years. No maturity breakdown is required for shares/units issued by MMFs.
(b) Assets
The cut-off points for the maturity bands are: for loans to euro area residents (other than MFIs) by subsector and further for loans to households by purpose, at one and five year maturity bands, with an additional cut-off at two years for loans to euro area non-financial corporations and to households by purpose denominated in euro; and for holdings of debt securities issued by MFIs located in the euro area, at one and two year maturity bands.
3. Breakdown by purpose and separate identification of loans to sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status
Loans to households and non-profit institutions serving households are further broken down by loan purpose (credit for consumption, lending for house purchase, other lending). Within the category ‘other lending’, loans granted to sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status are to be identified separately.
4. Breakdown by currency
For balance sheet items that may be used in the compilation of monetary aggregates, balances in euro must be identified separately so that the ECB has the option of defining monetary aggregates in terms of balances denominated in all currencies combined or in euro alone.
5. Breakdown by sector and residency of counterparties
|
5.1. |
The compilation of the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts requires the identification of those counterparties located in the territory of the euro area that form the money-holding sector. For this purpose, non-MFI counterparties are divided, as set out in the revised European System of Accounts (hereinafter the ‘ESA 2010’) laid down by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 (see Part 3 of Annex II), into general government (S.13), with central government (S.1311) identified separately in total deposit liabilities, and other resident sectors. In order to calculate a monthly sector disaggregation of the monetary aggregates and credit counterparts, other resident sectors are further broken down by the following subsectors: non-financial corporations (S.11), households + non-profit institutions serving households (S.14 + S.15), insurance corporations (S.128), pension funds (S.129), non-MMF investment funds (S.124), other financial intermediaries (S.125), financial auxiliaries (S.126), and captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.127). For the purpose of reporting some balance sheet items, such as loans and debt securities, the latter three sectors are merged (S.125 + S.126 + S.127). An additional distinction is made for counterparties that are FVCs and central clearing counterparties, within other financial intermediaries (S.125). For sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status see Section 3.
For the purposes of the ECB’s minimum reserve system, a distinction is made in Table 1 for central government with respect to total deposit liabilities and the deposit categories ‘deposits over two years agreed maturity’, ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ and ‘repos’. Also for the calculation of the reserve base, information is collected with respect to liabilities to other credit institutions subject to minimum reserve requirements, as specified in Part 1 of Annex III. |
|
5.2. |
MFI counterparties are divided into central banks (S.121), with a separate identification of the ECB, deposit-taking corporations except central banks (S.122), and MMFs (S.123). This is to better understand lending and funding policies in the banking sector and to better monitor interbank activities. |
|
5.3. |
With respect to intra-group positions, an additional distinction is made for reporting agents’ loan and deposit positions and transactions with deposit-taking corporations except central banks (S.122) to allow the identification of inter-linkages between entities belonging to the same group (domestic and other euro area Member States). |
|
5.4. |
With respect to debt securities holdings with original maturity up to one year, with a currency breakdown, an additional distinction is made for general government (S.13) to ensure a better overview on the inter-linkages between sovereigns and banks. |
|
5.5. |
Certain deposits/loans arising from repos/reverse repos or analogous operations may relate to transactions with central counterparties. A central counterparty is an entity that legally interposes itself between counterparties to contracts traded in financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. In accordance with Article 8(2), such business must be reported under deposits and loans, regardless of the treatment which applies for other reporting purposes. Because such transactions are often substitutes for bilateral business among MFIs, an additional distinction is made for repos and reverse repos involving central counterparties that are classified as other financial intermediaries (S.125). |
|
5.6. |
‘Domestic’ counterparties are identified separately from ‘euro area other than domestic’ counterparties with respect to all statistical breakdowns. Counterparties located in the Member States are identified according to their domestic sector or institutional classification in accordance with the lists maintained by the ECB for statistical purposes, the ECB’s ‘Manual on MFI balance sheet statistics’, and the ESA 2010. EU institutions that are euro area residents while not being resident of a Member State (the ECB is an example) are reported as ‘euro area other than domestic’ counterparties. Counterparties located outside the Member States are classified in accordance with the System of National Accounts (hereinafter the ‘SNA 2008’). |
|
5.7. |
In the case of MMF shares/units issued by MFIs of the euro area Member States, reporting agents report as a minimum data on the residency of the holders according to a domestic/euro area other than domestic/rest of the world breakdown to allow the exclusion of holdings of non-residents of the euro area. NCBs may also derive the necessary statistical information from the data collected on the basis of Regulation (EU) No 1011/2012 (ECB/2012/24), to the extent that the data comply with timeliness pursuant to Article 7 of this Regulation and with the minimum standards defined in Annex IV.
|
6. Breakdown of capital and reserves
This breakdown is required for providing information on the accounting components of capital and reserves and to monitor the interaction of this item with other balance sheet developments.
7. Identification of on-balance sheet positions for derivatives and accrued interest on loans and deposits within the remaining assets and remaining liabilities.
This breakdown is required for enhancing consistency among statistics.
8. Own holdings of securities
Table 1 requires information on MFIs’ own holdings of debt securities and equities, which are excluded from assets and liabilities in accordance with Article 8(4).
PART 3
Balance sheet (quarterly outstanding amounts)
To further analyse monetary developments and to serve other statistical purposes, the ECB requires the following in respect of key items:
|
1. |
Subsector and maturity breakdown of credit to euro area non-MFIs (see Table 2). This is required to enable the monitoring of the complete subsector and maturity structure of overall credit financing (loans and securities) in respect of the money-holding sector. For loans denominated in euro with original maturity over one year and with original maturity over two years to non-financial corporations and households, further ‘of which’ positions are required for certain remaining maturities and interest rate reset periods (see Table 2). An interest rate reset is understood as a change in the interest rate of a loan which is provided for in the current loan contract. Loans subject to interest rate reset include, inter alia, loans with interest rates which are periodically revised in accordance with the evolution of an index, e.g. Euribor, loans with interest rates which are revised on a continuous basis, i.e. floating rates, and loans with interest rates which are revisable at the lender’s discretion. |
|
2. |
Subsector breakdown of deposit liabilities to the general government (other than central government) of the euro area Member States (see Table 2). This is required as complementary information to the monthly reporting. |
|
3. |
Sector breakdown of positions with counterparties outside the euro area (see Table 2). The sector classification in accordance with the SNA 2008 applies where the ESA 2010 is not in force. |
|
4. |
Identification of real estate within non-financial assets. This breakdown is required to provide additional information on non-financial assets and to monitor the relative importance of holdings of real estate by the banking sector. |
|
5. |
Identification of on-balance sheet positions for derivatives with a sector breakdown within the remaining assets and remaining liabilities (see Table 2). This breakdown is required for enhancing consistency among statistics and complements the monthly reporting. |
|
6. |
Breakdown of equities held into listed shares, unlisted shares and other equity (see Table 2). This complements the monthly reporting by providing information on how the equities may be traded. |
|
7. |
Country breakdown and positions with the European Investment Bank, the European Stability Mechanism, the European Financial Stability Facility, and the Single Resolution Board (see Table 3). This breakdown is required to analyse further monetary developments, to provide statistical information relating to Member States that may adopt the euro, and for data quality checks. The breakdown by country is to be provided with respect to each Member State. Where a country accedes to the Union, the reporting of the breakdown for that Member State begins with the quarterly reference period that includes the date of their accession. The breakdown by country is also to be provided with respect to countries which withdraw, or have withdrawn, from the Union, i.e. as a separate breakdown within ‘Rest of the world (excluding EU)’. |
|
8. |
Sector breakdown for intra-euro area cross border deposits from and loans to non-MFIs (see Table 3). This breakdown is required to assess the positions of reporting agents in each individual Member State with counterparties resident in the other euro area Member States. Where a Member State adopts the euro, the reporting of the breakdown for that Member State begins with the quarterly reference period that includes the date of their adoption of the euro. |
|
9. |
Currency breakdown (see Table 4). The breakdown by currency is required for loans with respect to the national currency of each non-euro area Member State and for deposits, loans and debt securities held for selected currencies (GBP, USD, CHF and JPY). This breakdown is required to permit the calculation of transactions for monetary aggregates and counterparts adjusted for exchange rate changes where these aggregates include all currencies combined. |

PART 4
Reporting of revaluation adjustments for the compilation of transactions
Revaluation adjustments are necessary to allow the ECB to calculate financial transactions. They provide information on the impact of changes in prices or other valuations on end-period outstanding amounts of assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheet. Changes in outstanding amounts due to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on assets and liabilities not denominated in euro are not included in the reported revaluation adjustments (exchange rate adjustments for the purposes of compiling transactions are derived separately).
The minimum requirements for the reporting of revaluation adjustments are set out in Tables 1A and 2A. Specific considerations for the reporting of revaluation adjustments of loans and securities are outlined below.
1. Loan revaluations (including write-downs/write-offs)
The revaluation adjustments reflect any changes in the outstanding amounts of loans reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 caused by the application of write-downs, including the writing down of the full outstanding amount of a loan (write-off), and reversals of write-downs/write-offs. The adjustment should also reflect the changes in loan loss provisions if an NCB allows that balance sheet outstanding amounts are recorded net of loan loss provisions pursuant to Article 8(3). A revaluation adjustment is also to be recorded to account for the difference between the change in the outstanding amounts of loans arising from a loan disposal (with derecognition from the balance sheet) and the transaction value (i.e. the sale price). Similarly, a loan acquisition at a price less than the reported outstanding amounts results in a positive revaluation.
2. Price revaluation of securities
The adjustment in respect of the price revaluation of securities refers to fluctuations in the valuation of securities that arise because of a change in the price at which securities are recorded or traded. The adjustment includes the changes that occur over time in the value of end-period balance sheet outstanding amounts because of changes in the reference value at which securities are recorded, i.e. potential gains/losses. It may also contain valuation changes that arise from transactions in securities i.e. realised gains/losses.
No minimum reporting requirement is established for debt securities issued. However, if valuation practices applied by reporting agents to debt securities issued result in changes to their end-period outstanding amounts, NCBs are permitted to collect data relating to such changes.
PART 5
Statistical reporting requirements for loan securitisations and other loan transfers
1. General requirements
|
1.1. |
Data are reported in accordance with Article 8(2), qualified by those of Article 8(3) when applicable. All data items are broken down according to the residency and subsector of the loan obligor as indicated in the column headings of Table 5. |
|
1.2. |
A distinction is made between securitisations and other loan transfers. Loans disposed of during a warehousing phase in a securitisation are treated as if they were already securitised. A separate identification is required for securitisations involving FVCs resident in the euro area. For other loan transfers, a separate identification is required where the counterparty is a domestic MFI or a non-domestic euro area MFI. |
|
1.3. |
Loan transfers are also distinguished according to the impact on the loan outstanding amounts reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I:
|
|
1.4. |
With respect to transfers which have an impact on reported loans outstanding amounts, MFIs make a further distinction for transfers where they act as servicer of the outstanding amount of transferred loans. |
2. Requirements for reporting loan transfers
|
2.1. |
MFIs calculate net loan transfers as acquisitions during the month minus disposals during the month. For this purpose, MFIs apply the transaction values of the acquisitions and disposals (i.e. the value of the purchases and sales, respectively). |
|
2.2. |
MFIs provide data on loan transfers in accordance with Table 5a as follows:
|
|
2.3. |
With respect to the allocation referred to in Section 2.2(a), NCBs may instruct MFIs to allocate loan transfers to Block 1, rather than Block 2, where another domestic MFI acts as servicer of the transferred loans. NCBs will require such transfers to be separately identified in the statistical reporting from those which are transferred and serviced by the same MFI. |
3. Requirements for reporting outstanding amounts of transferred loans
|
3.1. |
MFIs provide data in accordance with Table 5b on the end-of month outstanding amounts of loans as follows:
|
|
3.2. |
With respect to the allocation referred to in Section 3.1(a), where NCBs instruct MFIs to allocate loan transfers pursuant to Section 2.3, MFIs include in Block 1 the outstanding amounts of loans transferred by another domestic MFI for which they act as servicer, in so far as the loans are not included in the reported outstanding amounts in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I of domestic MFIs. NCBs will require such outstanding amounts to be separately identified in the statistical reporting from those which are transferred and serviced by the same MFI. |
|
3.3. |
NCBs may request additional information from MFIs in order to explain the developments in the outstanding amounts of loans, in particular with respect to a change in the counterparty holding the transferred loans, or a change in the servicing arrangements for derecognised loans, which may necessitate reclassification adjustments in order for the ECB to correctly adjust loan developments for the impact arising from securitisations and other transfers on the MFI balance sheet. |
4. Requirements for reporting revaluation adjustments affecting the outstanding amounts of transferred loans
|
4.1. |
MFIs provide data in accordance with Table 5b on revaluation adjustments which reflect any changes in the end-of month outstanding amounts of loans reported under Section 3 which are caused by the application of write-downs or write-offs of loans, and changes in provisions on loans (if outstanding amounts are recorded net of provisions). Revaluation adjustments also reflect, in the month of the loan transfer, any difference between the outstanding amounts of loans transferred and the transaction value of the acquisition or disposal, as referred to under Section 2. |
|
4.2. |
MFIs provide data in accordance with Table 5b on revaluation adjustments as follows:
|
PART 6
Simplified reporting for small credit institutions
Where NCBs grant derogations to credit institutions pursuant to Article 9(2), they may exempt those credit institutions from the following requirements:
|
1. |
The breakdown by currency referred to in Section 4 of Part 2. |
|
2. |
The separate identification of:
|
|
3. |
The sector breakdown referred to in Section 3 of Part 3. |
|
4. |
The country breakdown referred to in Section 7 of Part 3. |
|
5. |
The currency breakdown referred to in Section 9 of Part 3. |
In addition, these credit institutions may fulfil the statistical reporting requirements referred to in Parts 2, 4 and 5 by reporting data only on a quarterly basis and in accordance with the timeliness requirement given for quarterly statistics in Article 7(3).

As quarterly data, holdings of securities issued by non-MFIs in the euro area are split into ‘up to one year’ and ‘over one year’.
(5) With counterparties resident in the rest of the world only.
(6) The reporting of the item ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ is voluntary until further notice.
(7) Monthly breakdown by subsector is required for loans and deposits.
(8) For repos and reverse repos, a breakdown is required for central counterparties classified in the subsector S.125. In addition, for loans, deposits and debt securities held, a breakdown is required for counterparties which are financial vehicle corporations.
(9) Quarterly breakdown by currency of each other Member State is required for selected loan items. Quarterly breakdown for the currencies GBP, USD, JPY and CHF is required for selected items of deposits, loans and debt securities held.
ANNEX II
CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND DEFINITIONS
PART 1
Consolidation for statistical purposes within the same Member State
|
1. |
For each Member State whose currency is the euro (hereinafter a ‘euro area Member State’), the reporting population consists of resident MFIs included in the list of MFIs for statistical purposes and resident non-MFI credit institutions. These are:
Reporting agents consolidate for statistical purposes the business of all their domestic offices (registered or head office and/or branches) located in the same Member State. Institutions located in offshore financial centres are treated statistically as residents of the territories in which the centres are located. |
|
2. |
Reporting agents report the business of all their non-domestic offices as follows:
|
PART 2
Definitions of instrument categories
|
1. |
This table provides a detailed standard description of the instrument categories which national central banks (NCBs) transpose into categories applicable at the national level in accordance with this Regulation. The table does not constitute a list of individual financial instruments and the descriptions are not exhaustive. The definitions refer to the ESA 2010. |
|
2. |
Original maturity, i.e. maturity at issue, refers to the fixed period of life of a financial instrument before which it cannot be redeemed, e.g. debt securities, or before which it can be redeemed only with some kind of penalty, e.g. some types of deposits. The notice period corresponds to the time between the moment the holder gives notice of an intention to redeem the instrument and the date on which the holder is allowed to convert it into cash without incurring a penalty. Financial instruments are classified according to the notice period only when there is no agreed maturity. |
|
3. |
Financial claims can be distinguished by whether they are negotiable or not. A claim is negotiable if its ownership is readily capable of being transferred from one unit to another by delivery or endorsement or of being offset in the case of financial derivatives. While any financial instrument can be potentially traded, negotiable instruments are designed to be traded on an organised exchange or over-the-counter, although actual trading is not a necessary condition for negotiability. |

Holdings of financial assets created when creditors lend funds to debtors, which are not evidenced by documents or are evidenced by non-negotiable documents. This item also includes assets in the form of deposits placed by reporting agents. NCBs may also require the full sector breakdown for this item.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Holdings of debt securities, which are negotiable financial instruments serving as evidence of debt, are usually traded on secondary markets or can be offset on the market, and which do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. This item includes:
Securities lent out under securities lending operations or sold under a repurchase agreement remain on the original owner’s balance sheet (and are not to be recorded on the balance sheet of the temporary acquirer) where there is a firm commitment to reverse the operation, and not simply an option to do so. Where the temporary acquirer sells the securities received, this sale must be recorded as an outright transaction in securities and entered in the balance sheet of the temporary acquirer as a negative position in the securities portfolio. |

|
The item ‘remaining assets’ is the residual item on the asset side of the balance sheet, defined as ‘assets not included elsewhere’. NCBs may require the reporting of specific sub-positions included in this item (in addition to those ‘of which’ items required under this Regulation). Remaining assets may include:
Remaining assets’ exclude financial instruments that take the form of financial assets (included within the other balance sheet items), certain financial instruments that do not take the form of financial assets, such as guarantees, commitments, administered and trust loans (recorded off-balance sheet), and non-financial assets (included within category 6) |
LIABILITY CATEGORIES
|
Category |
Description of main features |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The liability category ‘currency in circulation’ is banknotes and coins in circulation that are issued or authorised by monetary authorities. This category includes banknotes issued by the ECB and the NCBs. Coins in circulation are part of the monetary aggregates and are also included in this category even if legally the coins are a liability of the central government rather than the NCB. Where coins in circulation are issued by central government, the NCB records a counterpart to this liability within ‘remaining assets’ (see category 7) |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Amounts (shares, deposits or other), which are owed to creditors by reporting agents and which comply with the features described in Part 1 of Annex I, except those arising from the issue of negotiable securities or MMF shares/units. For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this category is broken down into overnight deposits, deposits with agreed maturity, deposits redeemable at notice and repurchase agreements
The following item is not treated as a deposit: Funds (deposits) received on a trust basis are not recorded on the statistical balance sheet (see ‘Loans granted on a trust basis’ under category 2) |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Deposits which are convertible into currency and/or which are transferable on demand by cheque, banker’s order, debit entry or similar means, without significant delay, restriction or penalty. This item includes:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Transferable deposits are those deposits within the category ‘overnight deposits’ which are directly transferable on demand to make payments to other economic agents by commonly used means of payment, such as credit transfer and direct debit, possibly also by credit or debit card, e-money transactions, cheques, or similar means, without significant delay, restriction or penalty. Deposits that can only be used for cash withdrawal and/or deposits from which funds can only be withdrawn or transferred through another account of the same owner are not to be included as transferable deposits. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Non-transferable deposits which cannot be converted into currency before an agreed fixed term or that can only be converted into currency before that agreed term provided that the holder is charged some kind of penalty. This item also includes administratively regulated savings deposits where the maturity related criterion is not relevant; these should be classified in the maturity band ‘over two years’. Financial products with roll-over provisions must be classified according to the earliest maturity. Although deposits with agreed maturity may feature the possibility of earlier redemption after prior notification, or may be redeemable on demand subject to certain penalties, these features are not considered to be relevant for classification purposes |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
These items include for each maturity breakdown:
In addition, deposits of over two years’ agreed maturity include: Balances (regardless of maturity) in which the interest rates and/or terms and conditions are specified in national legislation and which are designed to be held for specific purposes, e.g. house financing, occurring after two years, even if technically they are redeemable on demand |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Non-transferable deposits without any agreed maturity which cannot be converted into currency without a period of prior notice; before the expiry the conversion into currency is not possible or possible only with a penalty. They include deposits which, although perhaps legally withdrawable on demand, would be subject to penalties and restrictions according to national practice (classified in the maturity band ‘up to and including three months’), and investment accounts without period of notice or agreed maturity, but which contain restrictive drawing provisions (classified in the maturity band ‘over three months’) |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
These items include:
In addition, deposits redeemable at up to and including three months’ notice include non-transferable sight savings deposits and other types of retail deposits which, although legally redeemable on demand, are subject to significant penalties Deposits redeemable at over three months’ notice of which over two years’ notice (where applicable) include investment accounts without a period of notice or agreed maturity, but which contain restrictive drawing provisions |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Counterpart of cash received in exchange for securities sold by reporting agents at a given price under a firm commitment to repurchase the same or similar securities at a fixed price on a specified future date. Amounts received by reporting agents in exchange for securities transferred to a third party, i.e. the temporary acquirer, are to be classified under ‘repurchase agreements’ where there is a firm commitment to reverse the operation and not merely an option to do so. This implies that reporting agents retain all risks and rewards of the underlying securities during the operation. The following variants of repo-type operations are all classified under ‘repurchase agreements’:
The securities underlying repo type operations are recorded following the rules in asset item 3 ‘debt securities’. Operations involving the temporary transfer of gold against cash collateral are also included under this item |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Shares or units issued by MMFs. This item represents the total liability to the MMF’s shareholders. Funds arising from non-distributed benefits or funds set aside by the MMF in anticipation of likely future payments and obligations are also included |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Securities other than equity issued by reporting agents, which are instruments usually negotiable and traded on secondary markets or which can be offset on the market and which do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. This item includes:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
These items include for each maturity breakdown:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Hybrid instruments issued of original maturity of up to two years and which at maturity may have a contractual redemption value in the issuing currency lower than the amount originally invested due to their combination of debt and derivative components |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this category comprises the amounts arising from the issue of equity capital by reporting agents to shareholders or other proprietors, representing for the holder property rights in the reporting agent and generally an entitlement to a share in its profits and to a share in its own funds in the event of liquidation. This category comprises the following breakdowns:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The item ‘remaining liabilities’ is the residual item on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, defined as ‘liabilities not included elsewhere’. NCBs may require the reporting of specific sub-positions included in this item (in addition to those ‘of which’ items required under this Regulation). Remaining liabilities may include:
‘Remaining liabilities’ may exclude almost all financial instruments that take the form of financial liabilities (included within the other balance sheet items), financial instruments that do not take the form of financial liabilities such as guarantees, commitments, administered and trust loans (recorded off-balance sheet), and non-financial liabilities such as capital items on the liabilities side (included within ‘capital and reserves’) |
PART 3
Definitions of sectors
The ESA 2010 provides the standard for the sector classification in the Member States. This table provides a detailed standard description of sectors which NCBs transpose into national categories in accordance with this Regulation. Counterparties located in the euro area are identified according to their sector in accordance with the lists maintained by the European Central Bank (ECB) for statistical purposes, where relevant, and other guidance for the statistical classification of counterparties provided by the ECB.
The sector classification of counterparties located outside the Member States should be made in accordance with the SNA 2008. The term ‘MFI’ refers only to the Member States. For the purposes of classifying non-EU residents, the term ‘MFI’ is to be interpreted as meaning the SNA 2008 sectors ‘central bank’, ‘deposit-taking corporations except the central bank’ and ‘money market funds’.
Table
Definitions of sectors
|
Sector |
Definition |
|
MFIs |
See Article 1 |
|
General government |
The general government sector (S.13) consists of institutional units, which are non-market producers whose output is intended for individual and collective consumption, and are financed by compulsory payments made by units belonging to other sectors, and institutional units principally engaged in the redistribution of national income and wealth (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.111 to 2.113) |
|
Central government |
This subsector (S.1311) includes all administrative departments of the state and other central agencies whose competence extends normally over the whole economic territory, except for the administration of social security funds (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.114) For the purpose of this Regulation, central government also includes Union institutions and bodies which are classified in the general government sector (S.13). |
|
State government |
This subsector (S.1312) consists of those types of public administration which are separate institutional units exercising some of the functions of government, except for the administration of social security funds, at a level below that of central government and above that of the governmental institutional units existing at local level (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.115) |
|
Local government |
This subsector (S.1313) includes those types of public administration whose competence extends to only a local part of the economic territory, apart from local agencies of social security funds (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.116) |
|
Social security funds |
The social security funds subsector (S.1314) includes central, state and local institutional units whose principal activity is to provide social benefits and which fulfil each of the following two criteria: (a) by law or by regulation certain groups of the population are obliged to participate in the scheme or to pay contributions; and (b) general government is responsible for the management of the institution in respect of the settlement or approval of the contributions and benefits independently from its role as supervisory body or employer (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.117) |
|
Non-MMF investment funds |
IFs as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38). The subsector consists of all collective investment undertakings, except MMFs, that invest in financial and/or non-financial assets, to the extent that the objective is investing capital raised from the public |
|
Other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds + financial auxiliaries + captive financial institutions and money lenders |
The other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds subsector (S.125) consists of all financial corporations and quasi-corporations which are principally engaged in financial intermediation by incurring liabilities in forms other than currency, deposits (or close substitutes for deposits), investment fund shares/units, or in relation to insurance, pension and standardised guarantee schemes from institutional units (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.86 to 2.94) The financial auxiliaries subsector (S.126) consists of all financial corporations and quasi-corporations which are principally engaged in activities closely related to financial intermediation but which are not financial intermediaries themselves. This subsector also includes head offices whose subsidiaries are all or mostly financial corporations (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.95 to 2.97) The captive financial institutions and money lenders subsector (S.127) consists of all financial corporations and quasi-corporations which are neither engaged in financial intermediation nor in providing financial auxiliary services, and where most of either their assets or their liabilities are not transacted on open markets. This subsector includes, among others, holding companies that hold controlling-levels of equity of a group of subsidiary corporations and whose principal activity is owning the group without providing any other service to the businesses in which the equity is held, that is, they do not administer or manage other units (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.98 to 2.99) |
|
Insurance corporations |
The insurance corporations subsector (S.128) consists of all financial corporations and quasi-corporations which are principally engaged in financial intermediation as a consequence of the pooling of risks mainly in the form of direct insurance or reinsurance (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.100 to 2.104) |
|
Pension funds |
The pension funds subsector (S.129) consists of all financial corporations and quasi-corporations which are principally engaged in financial intermediation as the consequence of the pooling of social risks and needs of the insured persons (social insurance). Pension funds as social insurance schemes provide income in retirement, and often benefits for death and disability (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.105 to 2.110) |
|
Non-financial corporations |
The non-financial corporations sector (S.11) consists of institutional units which are independent legal entities and market producers, and whose principal activity is the production of goods and non-financial services. This sector also includes non-financial quasi-corporations (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.45 to 2.54) |
|
Households + non-profit institutions serving households |
The households sector (S.14) consists of individuals or groups of individuals as consumers and as entrepreneurs producing market goods and non-financial and financial services (market producers) provided that the production of goods and services is not by separate entities treated as quasi-corporations. It also includes individuals or groups of individuals as producers of goods and non-financial services for exclusively own final use (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.118 to 2.128) The non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs) sector (S.15) consists of non-profit institutions which are separate legal entities, which serve households and which are private non-market producers. Their principal resources are voluntary contributions in cash or in kind from households in their capacity as consumers, from payments made by general government and from property income (ESA 2010, paragraphs 2.129 to 2.130) |
|
Sole proprietorships and partnerships without legal status (sub-population of ‘Households’) |
Sole proprietorships and partnerships without independent legal status, other than those created as quasi-corporations, and which are market producers (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.119d) |

Cells marked with an * in Table 1 in Part 2 of Annex I are used in the calculation of the reserve base for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1). With respect to debt securities, credit institutions either present proof of liabilities to be excluded from the reserve base or apply a standard deduction of a fixed percentage specified by the European Central Bank (ECB). Patterned cells are reported solely by credit institutions subject to reserve requirements. |
|
2. |
Cells in Table 1 concerning deposits with ‘credit institutions subject to reserve requirements’ must not include the liabilities of reporting agents owed to institutions listed as exempt from the ECB’s minimum reserve system, i.e. institutions which are exempt for reasons other than their being subject to reorganisation measures. Institutions which are temporarily exempt from minimum reserve requirements on account of their being subject to reorganisation measures are treated as institutions subject to minimum reserve requirements and, therefore, liabilities owed to these institutions are covered by Table 1 in this Part. Liabilities to institutions not actually required to maintain reserve holdings with the European System of Central Banks owing to the application of the lump-sum allowance are also covered by this Table. |
|
3. |
Depending on the national collection systems and without prejudice to full compliance with the definitions and classification principles set out in this Regulation, credit institutions subject to reserve requirements may alternatively report the data necessary to calculate the reserve base, except those on negotiable instruments, in accordance with Table 1 in this Part, provided that none of the positions in the non-patterned cells of Table 1 in Part 2 of Annex I are affected. |
|
4. |
For reporting in accordance with the table below, strict correspondence with Table 1 in Part 2 of Annex I must be ensured.

PART 2
Special rules in the case of mergers involving credit institutions
|
1. |
Where a merger takes place between credit institutions, the reserve base of the acquiring institution for the maintenance period immediately following the merger is calculated, in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1), as the aggregate of its reserve base and of the reserve bases of the acquired institutions as if the merger had not occurred using the statistical information reported pursuant to this Regulation. |
|
2. |
Where the acquiring institution in the merger referred to in paragraph 1 is not a tail institution, the relevant reference periods of the statistical information reported pursuant to this Regulation to be used for the purposes of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 are the following:
|
|
3. |
Where the acquiring institution in the merger referred to in paragraph 1 is a tail institution, the relevant reference periods of the statistical information reported pursuant to this Regulation to be used for the purposes of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 are the following:
|
|
4. |
The calculation referred to in paragraph 1 also applies to subsequent maintenance periods where both of the following apply:
|
(1) Calculated as the sum of:
|
|
Columns (a)-(b)+(c)+(d)+(e)+(f)-(g)+(h)+(i)+(j)+(k) in Table 1 (Liabilities) in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33); or |
|
|
Columns (a)-(b)-(c)+(d)+(e)+(f)+(g)-(h)-(i)+(j)+(k)+(l)+(m) in Table 1 (Liabilities) in Part 2 of Annex I to this Regulation |
(2) Reporting agents have the option of meeting this reporting requirement by means of voluntary reporting, i.e. they are allowed to report either true figures (including nil positions) or ‘missing information’. Once the choice to report true figures has been made, reporting agents are no longer able to report ‘missing information’.
(3) Calculated from:
|
|
Column (l) in Table 1 (Liabilities) in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33); or |
|
|
Columns (n) in Table 1 (Liabilities) in Part 2 of Annex I to this Regulation |
