REGULATION (EU) No 1071/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 24 September 2013
concerning the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast)
(ECB/2013/33)
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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 of the European Central Bank of 19 December 2008 concerning the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (ECB/2008/32) (3) has been substantially amended. Since further amendments are to be made, in particular in the light of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (4), it should be recast in the interests of clarity. |
|
(2) |
The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) requires, for the fulfilment of its tasks, the production of the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions (MFI) sector. The principal purpose of such information is to provide the European Central Bank (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. These statistics cover aggregate financial assets and liabilities, in terms of stocks and transactions, based on a complete and homogeneous MFI sector and reporting population, and are produced on a regular basis. Sufficiently detailed statistical data are also necessary to guarantee the continued analytical usefulness of the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts. |
|
(3) |
The ECB is required, in accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and under the conditions laid down in the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’), to make regulations to the extent necessary to implement the ESCB’s tasks as defined in the Statute of the ESCB and in some cases as laid down in the provisions adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 129(4) of the Treaty. |
|
(4) |
Article 5.1 of the Statute of the ESCB requires the ECB, assisted by the national central banks (NCBs), to collect the necessary statistical information either from the competent national authorities or directly from economic agents in order to undertake the ESCB’s tasks. Article 5.2 of the Statute of the ESCB stipulates that the NCBs carry out, to the extent possible, the tasks described in Article 5.1. |
|
(5) |
Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires the 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. |
|
(6) |
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 ESCB in order to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising from Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB. |
|
(7) |
It may be appropriate for 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. |
|
(8) |
The statistical requirements are most detailed where the counterparties are part of the money-holding sector. Detailed data are required on: (a) deposit liabilities by subsector and maturity classified further by currency to permit a closer analysis of the developments of the foreign currency components included in the M3 monetary aggregate and to facilitate investigations concerning the degree of substitutability between foreign currency and euro-denominated components of M3; (b) loans by subsector, maturity, purpose, interest rate reset and currency, as this information is considered essential for monetary analysis purposes; (c) positions vis-à-vis other MFIs in so far as this is necessary to allow for netting of inter-MFI balances or to calculate the reserve base; (d) positions vis-à-vis non-euro area residents (rest of the world) for ‘deposits over two years agreed maturity’, ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ and ‘repos’ in order to calculate the reserve base subject to the positive reserve ratio; (e) positions vis-à-vis the rest of the world for total deposit liabilities in order to compile the external counterparts; (f) deposit liabilities and loans vis-à-vis the rest of the world below and above one year original maturity for balance of payments and financial accounts purposes. |
|
(9) |
For the purpose of collecting statistical information on MFIs’ securities portfolios, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1011/2012 of the European Central Bank of 17 October 2012 concerning statistics on the holding of securities (ECB/2012/24) (5), NCBs report quarterly on a security-by-security basis. NCBs may combine the reporting requirements under this Regulation and Regulation (EU) No 1011/2012 (ECB/2012/24) where this may minimise the reporting burden on credit institutions. NCBs may allow money market funds (MMFs) to report in line with Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 of the European Central Bank of 18 October 2013 concerning statistics on the assets and liabilities of investment funds (ECB/2013/38) (6), so as to alleviate the burden on fund managers. |
|
(10) |
Financial transactions are computed by the ECB as the difference between stock positions at end-month reporting dates, from which the effect of changes that arise due to influences other than transactions is removed. The requirement addressed to the reporting agents does not cover the exchange rate changes, which are calculated by the ECB, or by NCBs after consulting the ECB, from currency-by-currency stock data supplied by the reporting agents, or the reclassification adjustments, which are collected by the NCBs themselves using various information sources that are already available. |
|
(11) |
Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 empowers the ECB to adopt regulations or decisions in order to exempt institutions from the minimum reserve requirements, to specify modalities to exclude or deduct liabilities owed to any other institution from the reserve base, and to establish differing reserve ratios for specific categories of liabilities. Under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98, the ECB has the right to collect from institutions the information necessary for the application of minimum reserve requirements, and to verify the accuracy and quality of the information which institutions provide to demonstrate compliance with the minimum reserve requirements. In order to reduce the overall reporting burden, it is desirable for the statistical information regarding the monthly balance sheet 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 (EC) No 1745/2003 of the European Central Bank of 12 September 2003 on the application of minimum reserves (ECB/2003/9) (7). |
|
(12) |
The determination of specific procedures to be applied in the case of mergers involving credit institutions is necessary in order to clarify the obligations of these institutions in respect of reserve requirements. |
|
(13) |
The ECB requires information on the securitisation activities of MFIs in order to interpret credit and loan developments in the euro area. Such information also complements data reported under Regulation (EU) No 1075/2013 of the European Central Bank of 18 October 2013 concerning statistics on the assets and liabilities of financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation transactions (ECB/2013/40) (8). |
|
(14) |
While it is recognised that regulations adopted by the ECB under Article 34.1 of the Statute of the ESCB do not confer any rights or impose any obligations on Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter the ‘non-euro area Member States’), Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB applies to both euro area and non-euro area Member States. Recital 17 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 refers to the fact that Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB, together with Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union, implies an obligation to design and implement at national level all the measures that the non-euro area Member States consider appropriate in order to carry out the collection of the statistical information needed to fulfil the ECB’s statistical reporting requirements and timely preparations in the field of statistics in order for them to become euro area Member States. |
|
(15) |
The standards for the protection and use of confidential statistical information as laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 should apply. |
|
(16) |
Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 provides that the ECB has the power to impose sanctions on reporting agents which fail to comply with statistical reporting requirements set out in ECB regulations or decisions, |

Article 4
List of MFIs for statistical purposes
1. The Executive Board shall establish and maintain a list of MFIs for statistical purposes, taking into account the requirements in respect of frequency and timeliness which arise from its use in the context of the ECB’s minimum reserve system. The list of MFIs for statistical purposes shall include an entry on whether or not they are subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system. The list of MFIs shall be up-to-date, accurate, as homogeneous as possible and sufficiently stable for statistical purposes.
2. The list of MFIs for statistical purposes and its updates shall be made accessible by NCBs and the ECB to the reporting agents in an appropriate manner, including by electronic means, via the internet or, at the request of the reporting agents, in paper form.
3. The list of MFIs for statistical purposes shall be for information only. However, if the latest accessible version of the list is incorrect, the ECB shall not impose sanctions on any entity which did not properly fulfil its statistical reporting requirements to the extent that it relied in good faith on the incorrect list.
Article 5
Statistical reporting requirements
1. The actual reporting population shall report to the NCB of the Member State in which the MFI is resident: (a) monthly stocks relating to the end-of-month balance sheet; and (b) monthly aggregated revaluation adjustments. Aggregated revaluation adjustments shall be reported in respect of loan write-offs and write-downs corresponding to the loans and covering the price revaluations of securities. Further details on certain items of the balance sheet information shall be reported quarterly or annually. NCBs may collect the quarterly data on a monthly basis if this facilitates the data production process. The required statistical information is specified in Annex I.
2. NCBs may collect the required statistical information on securities issued and held by MFIs on a security-by-security basis, to the extent that the data referred to in paragraph 1 can be derived in accordance with the minimum statistical standards specified in Annex IV.
3. MFIs shall report in accordance with the minimum requirements set out in Table 1A of Part 4 of Annex I monthly revaluation adjustments in respect of the full set of data required by the ECB. NCBs may collect additional data not covered by the minimum requirements. These additional data may refer to the breakdowns marked in Table 1A other than the ‘minimum requirements’.
4. The ECB may require explanatory information on the adjustments in ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’ collected by the NCBs.
5. The ECB may impose sanctions on reporting agents which fail to comply with the statistical reporting requirements set out in this Regulation in accordance with Decision ECB/2010/10 of 19 August 2010 on non-compliance with statistical reporting requirements (12).
Article 6
Additional statistical reporting requirements for loan securitisations and other loan transfers
MFIs shall report the following:
|
(a) |
the net flow of loan securitisations and other loan transfers carried out during the reporting period, in accordance with Section 2 of Part 5 of Annex I; |
|
(b) |
the end-of-period amount outstanding and financial transactions excluding loan disposals and acquisitions during the relevant period in respect of securitised and derecognised loans for which the MFI acts as servicer in accordance with Section 3 of Part 5 of Annex I. NCBs may extend such reporting requirements to all derecognised loans serviced by MFIs that have been securitised or otherwise transferred; |
|
(c) |
the end-of-quarter amount outstanding in respect of all loans for which the MFI acts as servicer in a securitisation, in accordance with Section 4 of Part 5 of Annex I; |
|
(d) |
when applying the International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) or similar national accounting rules, the end-of-period amount outstanding in respect of loans disposed of by means of a securitisation that has not been derecognised from the balance sheet, in accordance with Section 5 of Part 5 of Annex I. |
Article 7
Timeliness
1. NCBs shall decide when and with which periodicity they need to receive data from reporting agents in order to meet the deadlines set out below, taking into account the timeliness requirements of the ECB’s minimum reserve system where relevant, and shall inform the reporting agents accordingly.
2. Monthly statistics shall be transmitted by the NCBs to the ECB by close of business on the 15th working day following the end of the month to which they relate.
3. Quarterly statistics shall be transmitted by the NCBs to the ECB by close of business on the 28th working day following the end of the quarter to which they relate.
Article 8
Accounting rules for the purposes of statistical reporting
1. Unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation, the accounting rules followed by MFIs for the purposes of reporting under this Regulation shall be those laid down in the national transposition of Council Directive 86/635/EEC of 8 December 1986 on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of banks and other financial institutions (13), as well as in any other international standards applicable.
2. Deposit liabilities and loans shall be reported at their principal amount outstanding at the end of the month. Write-offs and write-downs as determined by the relevant accounting practices shall be excluded from this amount. Deposit liabilities and loans shall not be netted against any other assets or liabilities.
3. Without prejudice to accounting practices and netting arrangements prevailing in the euro area Member States, all financial assets and liabilities shall be reported on a gross basis for statistical purposes.
4. NCBs may allow the reporting of provisioned loans net of provisions and the reporting of purchased loans at the price agreed at the time of their acquisition, provided that such reporting practices are applied by all resident reporting agents.
Article 9
Derogations
1. Derogations may be granted to small MFIs, as follows:
|
(a) |
NCBs may grant derogations to small MFIs, provided that their combined contribution to the national MFI balance sheet in terms of stocks does not exceed 5 %; |
|
(b) |
with regard to credit institutions, the derogations referred to in point (a) shall have the effect of reducing the statistical reporting requirements of credit institutions to which such derogations apply without prejudice to the requirements for the calculation of minimum reserves as set out in Annex III; |
|
(c) |
with regard to small MFIs, where a derogation referred to in point (a) applies, NCBs shall continue, as a minimum, to collect data relating to the total balance sheet at least at an annual frequency so that the combined contribution to the national MFI balance sheet of the tail institutions can be monitored; |
|
(d) |
without prejudice to point (a), NCBs may grant derogations to credit institutions that do not benefit from the regime laid down in points (a) and (b) with the effect of reducing their reporting requirements to those laid down in Part 6 of Annex I, provided that their combined contribution to the national MFI balance sheet in terms of stocks exceeds neither 10 % of the national MFI balance sheet nor 1 % of the euro area MFI balance sheet; |
|
(e) |
NCBs shall check the fulfilment of the conditions set out in points (a) and (d) in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of each year; |
|
(f) |
small MFIs may choose not to make use of the derogations and to fulfil the full reporting requirements instead. |
2. Derogations may be granted to MMFs by NCBs, as follows:
|
(a) |
NCBs may grant derogations to MMFs from the statistical reporting requirements set out in Article 5(1) provided that MMFs instead report balance sheet data in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38), subject to the following requirements:
|
|
(b) |
NCBs may also grant derogations to MMFs from the following statistical reporting requirements:
|
|
(c) |
NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the statistical reporting requirements as regards the residency of the holders of MMF shares/units:
|
3. Derogations may be granted in respect of reporting revaluation adjustments to MFIs, as follows:
|
(a) |
without prejudice to paragraph 1, NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the reporting of revaluation adjustments to MMFs, removing from the MMFs any requirement to report revaluation adjustments; |
|
(b) |
NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the frequency and timeliness of the reporting of price revaluations of securities and require these data on a quarterly basis and with the same timeliness as for stock data reported on a quarterly basis, subject to the following requirements:
|
|
(c) |
NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the reporting of price revaluations of securities, including the granting of complete exemption from any such reporting, to credit institutions which report the monthly stocks of securities on a security-by-security basis, subject to the following requirements:
|
4. Derogations may be granted to MFIs in respect of the statistical reporting of loans that are disposed of by means of a securitisation.
MFIs applying the International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) or similar national accounting rules may be allowed by their NCB to exclude from the stocks required by Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I any loans disposed of by means of a securitisation in accordance with national practice, provided that this practice is applied by all resident MFIs.
5. NCBs may grant derogations to MFIs in respect of reporting certain quarterly stocks related to non-euro area Member States.
If figures collected at a higher level of aggregation show that positions vis-à-vis counterparties resident in any non-euro area Member State or positions vis-à-vis the currency of a non-euro area Member State are insignificant, an NCB may decide not to require reporting in relation to such a Member State. The NCB shall inform its reporting agents of any such decision.
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. The NCBs shall define and implement the reporting arrangements to be followed by the actual reporting population in accordance with national requirements. The NCBs shall ensure that these reporting arrangements provide the required statistical information and allow 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
In the event of a merger, division or any other reorganisation that might affect the fulfilment of its statistical obligations, the actual reporting agent concerned shall inform the relevant NCB, once the intention to implement such an operation has become public and within a reasonable time before it takes effect, of the procedures that are planned to fulfil the statistical reporting requirements set out in this Regulation.
Article 12
Use of the reported statistical information for the purpose of minimum reserves
1. The statistical information reported by credit institutions in accordance with this Regulation shall be used by each credit institution to calculate its reserve base in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). In particular, each credit institution shall use this information to verify the fulfilment of its reserve requirement over the maintenance period.
2. The reserve base data for the tail institutions for three reserve maintenance periods shall be based on end-of-quarter data collected by the NCBs within 28 working days following the end of the quarter to which they relate.
3. The special rules on the application of the ECB’s minimum reserve system set out in Annex III shall prevail over any provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) in the case of conflict.
4. In order to facilitate the liquidity management of the ECB and of credit institutions, reserve requirements shall be confirmed at the latest on the first day of the maintenance period; however the need may exceptionally arise for credit institutions to report revisions to the reserve base or to reserve requirements which have been confirmed. The procedures for confirmation or acknowledgement of reserve requirements are without prejudice to the obligation for reporting agents always to report correct statistical information and to revise, as soon as possible, any incorrect statistical information they have already reported.
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 pursuant to this Regulation shall start with data for December 2014.
2. First reporting according to this Regulation in respect of cells corresponding to euro area Member States in Table 3 of Part 3 of Annex I shall begin with the first quarterly data after the date of their adoption of the euro.
3. First reporting according to this Regulation in respect of cells corresponding to non-euro area Member States in Tables 3 and 4 of Part 3 of Annex I shall begin with the first quarterly data after the date of their accession to the Union. If the relevant NCB decides not to require first reporting of insignificant data beginning with the first quarterly data after the date of the relevant Member State or Member States’ accession to the Union, reporting shall begin 12 months after the NCB informs the reporting agents that data are required.
Article 15
Repeal
1. Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32) is repealed with effect from 1 January 2015.
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.

ANNEX I
MONETARY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND STATISTICAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Introduction
The statistical system for the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area Member States’ covering the balance sheet of the monetary financial institution (MFI) sector comprises the two following main elements:
|
(a) |
a list of MFIs for statistical purposes (see Part 1 for identification of certain MFIs); and |
|
(b) |
a specification of the statistical information reported by these MFIs at monthly, quarterly and annual frequency (see Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7). |
For the purpose of obtaining complete information on the MFIs’ balance sheets, it is also necessary to impose certain statistical reporting requirements on non-MMF investment funds (IFs) and on other financial intermediaries except insurance corporations and pension funds (hereinafter the ‘OFIs’), when acting in the context of financial activities involving money market fund (MMF) shares/units. This statistical information is collected by the national central banks (NCBs) from the MFIs and from IFs and OFIs, in accordance with Part 2 and according to national arrangements relying on the harmonised definitions and classifications set out in Article 1 and Annex II.
The money stock includes notes and coins in circulation and other monetary liabilities (deposits and other financial instruments which are close substitutes for deposits) of MFIs. The counterparts to the money stock comprise all other items in the MFI balance sheet. The ECB also compiles financial transactions derived from the stocks and from other data, including revaluation adjustment data reported by MFIs (see Part 5).
The statistical information required by the ECB is summarised in Part 8.
PART 1
Identification of certain MFIs
SECTION 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:
|
SECTION 2
Specifications for the MMFs’ identification criteria
For the purpose of Article 2:
|
(a) |
the money market instrument shall be considered to be of a high credit quality, if it has been awarded one of the two highest available short-term credit ratings by each recognised credit rating agency that has rated the instrument or, if the instrument is not rated, it is of an equivalent quality as determined by the management company’s internal rating process. Where a recognised credit rating agency divides its highest short-term rating into two categories, these two ratings shall be considered as a single category and therefore the highest rating available; |
|
(b) |
the money market fund may, as an exception to the requirement in point (a), hold sovereign issuance of at least investment grade quality, whereby ‘sovereign issuance’ means money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a central, regional or local authority or central bank of a Member State, the ECB, the Union or the European Investment Bank; |
|
(c) |
when calculating WAL for securities, including structured financial instruments, the maturity calculation is based on the residual maturity until the legal redemption of the instruments. However, when a financial instrument embeds a put option, the exercise date of the put option may be used instead of the legal residual maturity only if the following conditions are fulfilled at all times:
|
|
(d) |
when calculating both WAL and WAM, the impact of financial derivative instruments, deposits and efficient portfolio management techniques shall be taken into account; |
|
(e) |
‘weighted average maturity’ (WAM) shall mean a measure of the average length of time to maturity of all of the underlying securities in the fund weighted to reflect the relative holdings in each instrument, assuming that the maturity of a floating rate instrument is the time remaining until the next interest rate reset to the money market rate, rather than the time remaining before the principal value of the security must be repaid. In practice, WAM is used to measure the sensitivity of a MMF to changing money market interest rates; |
|
(f) |
‘weighted average life’ (WAL) shall mean the weighted average of the remaining maturity of each security held in a fund, meaning the time until the principal is repaid in full, disregarding interest and not discounting. Contrary to the calculation of the WAM, the calculation of the WAL for floating rate securities and structured financial instruments does not permit the use of interest rate reset dates and instead only uses a security’s stated final maturity. WAL is used to measure the credit risk, as the longer the reimbursement of principal is postponed, the higher the credit risk. WAL is also used to limit the liquidity risk; |
|
(g) |
‘money market instruments’ means instruments normally traded on the money market which are liquid and have a value which can be accurately determined at any time; |
|
(h) |
‘management company’ means a company, the regular business of which is the management of the portfolio of an MMF. |
PART 2
Balance sheet (monthly stocks)
To compile the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts, the ECB requires the data in Table 1 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, fixed 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 MFI loans to euro area residents (other than MFIs) by subsector and further for MFI loans to households by purpose, at one and five year maturity bands; and for MFI holdings of debt securities issued by other MFIs located in the euro area, at one and two year maturity bands to enable the inter-MFI holdings of this instrument to be netted off in the calculation of the monetary aggregates.
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 (see definitions of instrument categories in Part 2 of Annex II and definitions of sectors in Part 3 of Annex II). NCBs may waive the requirement of separate identification of loans to sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status if such loans constitute less than 5 % of the euro area Member State’s total lending to households.
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-MMF investment funds (S.124), other financial intermediaries, except insurance corporations and pension funds + financial auxiliaries + captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.125 + S.126 + S.127), insurance corporations (S.128), pension funds (S.129), non-financial corporations (S.11) and households + non-profit institutions serving households (S.14 + S.15). An additional distinction is made for counterparties that are FVCs and central clearing counterparties, within the merged counterpart sectors (S.125 + S.126 + S.127). For sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status see Section 3. 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’, an additional distinction is made between credit institutions, other MFI counterparties and central government for the purposes of the ECB’s minimum reserve system. |
|
5.2 |
With respect to total deposit liabilities and the asset category ‘total loans’, an additional distinction is made for central banks (S.121) and deposit-taking corporations except the central bank (S.122) and for the rest of the world banks and non-banks 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 loan and deposit positions and transactions between deposit taking corporations except the central bank (S.122) to allow the identification of inter-linkages between credit institutions 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 with other financial intermediaries (S.125) + financial auxiliaries (S.126) + captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.127) may relate to transactions with a central counterparty. 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. Because such transactions are often substitutes for bilateral business among MFIs, an additional distinction is made within the deposit category ‘repurchase agreements’ with respect to business with these counterparties. Similarly, an additional distinction is made within the asset category ‘loans’ with respect to reverse repurchase agreements with these counterparties. |
|
5.6 |
Domestic counterparties are identified separately from euro area other than domestic counterparties with respect to all statistical breakdowns. Counterparties located in the euro area are identified according to their domestic sector or institutional classification in accordance with the lists maintained by the ECB for statistical purposes and the ECB’s ‘Monetary, financial institutions and markets statistics sector manual: Guidance for the statistical classification of customers’, which follows classification principles that are consistent with the ESA 2010 as far as possible. There is no requirement for a geographical breakdown of counterparties located outside the euro area. |
|
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.
|
PART 3
Balance sheet (quarterly stocks)
To further analyse monetary developments and to serve other statistical purposes, the ECB requires the following in respect of key items:
|
1. |
Subsector, maturity and real estate collateral 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 MFIs’ overall credit financing (loans and securities) vis-à-vis the money-holding sector. For non-financial corporations and households, further ‘of which’ positions are required identifying the loans secured with real estate collateral. For loans denominated in euro with original maturity over one and over two years vis-à-vis 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 MFI’s discretion. |
|
2. |
Subsector breakdown of MFI 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 System of National Accounts (hereinafter the ‘SNA 2008’) applies where the ESA 2010 is not in force. |
|
4. |
Identification of on-balance sheet positions for derivatives and accrued interest on loans and deposits within the remaining assets and remaining liabilities (see Table 2). This breakdown is required for enhancing consistency among statistics. |
|
5. |
Country breakdown, including positions vis-à-vis the European Investment Bank and the European Stability Mechanism (see Table 3). This breakdown is required to analyse further monetary developments and also for the purposes of the transitional requirements and for data quality checks. |
|
6. |
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 the MFI sectors in individual Member States vis-à-vis the remaining euro area Member States. |
|
7. |
Currency breakdown (see Table 4). 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
To compile transactions in respect of the euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts, the ECB requires revaluation adjustments in respect of the write-offs/write-downs of loans and price revaluation of securities:
1. Write-offs/write-downs of loans
The adjustment in respect of the write-offs/write-downs of loans is reported to allow the ECB to compile financial transactions from the stocks reported in two consecutive reporting periods. The adjustment reflects any changes in the stock 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). The adjustment should also reflect the changes in provisions on loans if an NCB decides that balance sheet stocks are recorded net of provisions. Write-offs/write-downs of loans recognised at the time the loan is sold or transferred to a third party are also included, where identifiable.
The minimum requirements for write-offs/write-downs of loans are set out in Table 1A.
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 stocks 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.
The minimum requirements for price revaluation of securities are set out in Table 1A.
No minimum reporting requirement is established for the liability side of the balance sheet. However, if valuation practices applied by reporting agents to debt securities issued result in changes to their end-period stocks, NCBs are permitted to collect data relating to such changes. Such data are reported as ‘other revaluation’ adjustments.
PART 5
Statistical reporting requirements for loan securitisations and other loan transfers
1. General requirements
Data are reported in accordance with Article 8(2), qualified by those of Article 8(4) 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. Loans disposed of during a warehousing phase in a securitisation are treated as if they were already securitised.
2. Requirements for reporting net flows of loans securitised or otherwise transferred
|
2.1 |
For the purposes of Article 6(a), MFIs calculate the items in Parts 1 and 2 of Table 5 as net flows of loans securitised or otherwise disposed of during the relevant period minus loans acquired during the relevant period. Loans transferred to or acquired from another domestic MFI, and loans whose transfer occurs as a result of a division of the reporting agent, or of a merger or take-over involving the reporting agent and another domestic MFI, are not included in this calculation. Loans transferred to or acquired from non-domestic MFIs are included in the calculation. |
|
2.2 |
The items referred to in Section 3.1 are allocated to Parts 1 and 2 of Table 5 as follows:
|
|
2.3 |
The items in Part 1 of Table 5 are, on a monthly basis, further broken down according to the counterparty in the loan transfer, distinguishing between FVCs, of which FVCs resident in the euro area, and other counterparties. Further breakdowns by original maturity and purpose of the loan are required on a quarterly basis for some items as indicated in Table 5(b). |
3. Requirements for reporting of securitised and derecognised loans which are serviced
|
3.1 |
MFIs provide data in accordance with Part 3 of Table 5 on loans securitised and derecognised for which the MFI acts as servicer as follows:
|
|
3.2 |
As regards Section 3.1(b), NCBs may instead require MFIs to provide net flows of loan disposals and acquisitions for which the MFI acts as servicer so that the NCB can derive the financial transactions referred to in Section 3.1(b). |
|
3.3 |
NCBs may provide a derogation to reporting agents from the requirements of Section 3.1(b) where the net flows collected in Part 1.1 of Table 5 meet the purpose of Section 3.2, i.e. where it is the national practice that securitised and derecognised loans are serviced by MFIs. NCBs will ensure that those net flows are consistent with the purposes of calculating the financial transactions excluding loan disposals and acquisitions under Section 3.1(b). NCBs may request additional information from MFIs in order to make the necessary adjustments. |
|
3.4 |
NCBs may extend the statistical reporting requirements of this Section to all derecognised loans serviced by MFIs, that have been securitised or otherwise transferred. Where this is the case, the NCB will inform MFIs of the statistical reporting requirements pursuant to Part 3 of Table 5. |
4. Requirements for reporting the outstanding amounts of loans serviced in a securitisation
|
4.1 |
MFIs provide quarterly data on all loans serviced in a securitisation in accordance with Part 4 of Table 5 irrespective of whether the serviced loans or their respective servicing rights are recognised on the reporting agent’s balance sheet. |
|
4.2 |
With respect to loans serviced for FVCs resident in other euro area Member States, MFIs provide further breakdowns, by aggregating the serviced loans separately for each Member State in which an FVC is resident. |
|
4.3 |
NCBs may collect the data referred to in Article 6(b), or part thereof, on an FVC-by-FVC basis from resident MFIs acting as servicers of securitised loans. If an NCB considers that the data referred to in Section 4.4 and the breakdowns referred to in Section 4.2 may be collected on an FVC-by-FVC basis, it shall inform the MFIs whether, and the extent to which, the reporting referred to in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 is required. |
5. Statistical reporting requirements for MFIs applying the IAS 39, the IFRS 9 or similar national accounting rules
|
5.1 |
MFIs applying the IAS 39, the IFRS 9 or similar rules report the end-of-month amounts outstanding of loans disposed of by means of a securitisation that have not been subject to derecognition in accordance with Part 5 of Table 5. |
|
5.2 |
MFIs to which the derogation in Article 9(6) applies report the end-of-quarter amounts outstanding of the loans disposed of by means of a securitisation that have been subject to derecognition but are still recognised on the financial statements in accordance with Part 5 of Table 5. |
PART 6
Simplified reporting for small credit institutions
Credit institutions to which the derogations referred to in Article 9(1)(d) apply may be exempted 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 4 of Part 3. |
|
5. |
The currency breakdown referred to in Section 5 of Part 3. |
In addition, these credit institutions may fulfil the statistical reporting requirements referred to in Parts 2, 5 and 6 by reporting data only on a quarterly basis and in accordance with the timeliness requirement given for quarterly statistics in Article 7(3).

(4) The reporting of the item ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ is voluntary until further notice.
(5) Monthly breakdown by subsector is required for loans and deposits.
(6) For loans, a further breakdown by purpose is included for the subsector S.14 + S.15. In addition, for a limited number of instruments, further ‘of which positions’ are required for some subsectors: ‘of which central counterparties’ and ‘of which financial vehicle corporations’ for the subsector S.125; ‘of which sole proprietorships/partnerships without legal status’ for loans to the subsector S.14; ‘of which real estate collateral’ for loans to the subsectors S.11 and S.14 + S.15 (quarterly requirements only).
(7) Quarterly breakdown by currency of each other Member State is required for selected items only.
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 MFIs included in the list of MFIs for statistical purposes and resident in the territory of the euro area Member States (1). These are:
Institutions located in offshore financial centres are treated statistically as residents of the territories in which the centres are located. |
|
2. |
MFIs consolidate for statistical purposes the business of all their domestic offices (registered or head office and/or branches) located in the same Member State. No consolidation for statistical purposes is permitted across national boundaries.
|
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.

PART 3
Definitions of sectors
The ESA 2010 provides the standard for the sector classification. 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, and the guidance for the statistical classification of counterparties provided in the ECB’s ‘Monetary financial institutions and markets statistics sector manual: Guidance for the statistical classification of customers’. Credit institutions located outside the euro area are referred to as ‘banks’ rather than as MFIs. Similarly, the term ‘non-MFI’ refers only to the Member States. For Member States whose currency is not the euro the term ‘non-banks’ is used.
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) |
|
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 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 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 governments 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) |
(1) In the tables of this Annex, the ECB is classified as an MFI resident in the country where the ECB is physically located.
(2) Subsidiaries are separate incorporated entities in which another entity has a majority or full participation, whereas branches are unincorporated entities (without independent legal status) totally owned by the parent.
ANNEX III
APPLICATION OF MINIMUM RESERVE REQUIREMENTS AND RELATED SPECIAL RULES
PART 1
Minimum reserve requirements for credit institutions: general rules
|
1. |
Cells marked with an * in Table 1 in Annex I are used in the calculation of the reserve base. With respect to debt securities, credit institutions either present proof of liabilities to be excluded from the reserve base or apply a standardised 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. |
The column ‘of which credit institutions subject to reserve requirements, ECB and national central banks’ (NCBs) does not include the liabilities of reporting agents vis-à-vis 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 vis-à-vis these institutions are covered under the column ‘of which credit institutions subject to reserve requirements, ECB and NCBs’. Liabilities vis-à-vis 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 under this column. |
|
3. |
Full reporters may also report positions vis-à-vis ‘MFIs other than credit institutions subject to minimum reserves, ECB and NCBs’, rather than vis-à-vis ‘MFIs’ and ‘credit institutions subject to minimum reserves, ECB and NCBs’, provided that no loss of detail results and none of the positions in the non-patterned cells are affected. Furthermore, depending on the national collection systems and without prejudice to full compliance with the definitions and classification principles of the MFI balance sheet 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 the table below, provided that none of the positions in the non-patterned cells of Table 1 in Annex I are affected. |
|
4. |
Tail institutions report, as a minimum, quarterly data necessary to calculate the reserve base in accordance with the table below. |
|
5. |
For reporting in accordance with the table below, strict correspondence with Table 1 of Annex I must be ensured.
|
PART 2
Special rules
SECTION 1
Statistical reporting on an aggregated basis as a group by credit institutions subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system
|
1.1 |
Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), the Executive Board may allow credit institutions subject to minimum reserve requirements to carry out aggregated statistical reporting as a group within a single Member State. All institutions concerned are included separately in the ECB’s list of MFIs. |
|
1.2 |
If credit institutions have been permitted to hold minimum reserves through an intermediary, pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), and do not benefit from the group reporting referred to in this section, the relevant NCB may authorise the intermediary to carry out aggregated statistical reporting (other than in respect of the reserve base) on behalf of credit institutions. All institutions concerned are included separately in the ECB’s list of MFIs. |
|
1.3 |
If the group of credit institutions is comprised solely of tail institutions, it is only required to comply with the simplified reporting for tail institutions. Otherwise, the reporting scheme for full reporters applies to the group as a whole. |
SECTION 2
Reserve requirements in the case of mergers involving credit institutions
|
2.1 |
For the purpose of this Annex, the terms ‘merger’, ‘merging institutions’, and ‘acquiring institution’ have the meanings set out in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). |
|
2.2 |
For the maintenance period within which a merger takes effect, the reserve requirements of the acquiring institution are calculated and have to be fulfilled as set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). |
|
2.3 |
For the consecutive maintenance periods, the reserve requirement of the acquiring institution is calculated on the basis of a reserve base and of statistical information reported in accordance with the rules set out in the table below. Otherwise, the normal rules for reporting statistical information and calculation of reserve requirements, as set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), apply. |
|
2.4 |
Without prejudice to the obligations set out in the previous paragraphs, the relevant NCB may authorise the acquiring institution to fulfil its obligation to report statistical information through temporary procedures, for instance separate forms for each of the merging institutions during several periods after the merger has taken place. The length of this derogation from normal reporting procedures should be limited to the extent possible and should not exceed six months after the merger has taken place. This derogation is without prejudice to the obligation for the acquiring institution to fulfil its reporting obligations in accordance with this Regulation and, if applicable, its obligation to assume the reporting obligations of merging institutions in accordance with this Annex.
Table Special rules for the calculation of reserve requirements of credit institutions involved in a merger (1)
|
(1) This table presents the details of more complex procedures applied to specific cases. For cases not presented in the table, the normal rules for reporting of statistical information and calculation of reserve requirements, as set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), apply.
