GUIDELINE (EU) 2021/1829 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 7 October 2021
amending Guideline (EU) 2017/2335 on the procedures for the collection of granular credit and credit risk data (ECB/2021/47)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) and (5) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In order to ensure the availability of high quality statistics on credit and credit risk, it is necessary to provide further details on the minimum standards for revising granular credit data and credit risk data (hereinafter ‘credit data’) and counterparty reference data. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that all national central banks (NCBs) transmit to the European Central Bank (ECB) revisions reported by reporting agents pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/867 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/13) (1). |
(2) |
Guideline (EU) 2017/2335 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2017/38) (2) provides that errors in reported statistical information are revised and corrected and the revised data are transmitted to the ECB. In order to improve overall data quality, it is appropriate to provide further details with regard to the types and frequencies of revisions to be transmitted to the ECB. |
(3) |
Reference dates to which the first ECB feedback loop data will refer after an NCB decides to participate in the AnaCredit feedback loop framework, as well as the scope of coverage of the ECB feedback loop dataset and the applicable restrictions on data sharing by the receiving NCBs, should be clarified. This should also help ensure equal treatment of participating NCBs and NCBs which may participate in the AnaCredit feedback loop framework in the future. |
(4) |
It is appropriate to provide clarification of the common method of transmission of statistical information reported to the ECB for all NCBs. NCBs should therefore transmit data to the ECB using a harmonised electronic transmission format agreed and specified by the European System of Central Banks. |
(5) |
In order to allow the NCBs sufficient lead time to implement the amendments to the provisions on revisions for credit data and counterparty reference data reported by reporting agents pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/867 (ECB/2016/13) effectively, and to ensure sufficient data quality, those amendments should apply on 1 April 2022. |
(6) |
Therefore, Guideline (EU) 2017/2335 (ECB/2017/38) should be amended accordingly, |
