ANNEX

‘PART 12

Securities issues statistics

Section 1: Introduction

Securities issues statistics for the euro area provide two main aggregates:

| — | all issues by euro area residents in any currency, and |
| --- | --- |

—

all issues by euro area residents in any currency, and

| — | all issues made worldwide in euro, both domestic and international. |
| --- | --- |

—

all issues made worldwide in euro, both domestic and international.

A principal distinction must be drawn on the basis of the residency of the issuer whereby the Eurosystem NCBs collectively cover all issues by the residents of the euro area (1). The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) reports issues by the “rest of the world” (RoW), referring to all non-euro area residents (including international organisations not resident in the euro area).

The table below summarises the reporting requirements.

| | Securities issues |
| --- | --- |
| By euro area residents
  (each NCB reporting on its domestic residents) | By RoW residents
  (BIS/NCB) |
| Non-euro area Member States | Other countries |
| In euro/national denominations | Block A | Block B |
| In other currencies

1.   Residency of the issuer

Issues by subsidiaries owned by the reporting country's non-residents operating in the reporting country's economic territory must be classified as issues by the reporting country's resident units.

Issues by head offices located in the reporting country's economic territory which operate internationally must also be considered as issues by resident units. Issues by head offices or subsidiaries located outside the reporting country's economic territory but owned by residents of the reporting country must be considered as issues by non-residents. For example, issues by Volkswagen Brazil are considered to have been carried out by units resident in Brazil and not in the reporting country's territory. In the absence of any physical dimension to an enterprise, its residence is determined according to the economic territory under whose laws the enterprise is incorporated or registered (2).

To avoid double counting or gaps, the reporting of issues by special purpose entities (SPEs) must be addressed bilaterally, involving the reporters concerned. The NCBs, and not the BIS, must report issues by SPEs which fulfil the residency criteria of the ESA 2010 and are classified as euro area residents.

2.   Sectoral breakdown of issuers

Issues must be classified according to the sector incurring the liability for the securities issued. The sectoral classification comprises the following 12 types of issuers:

| — | ECB/NCBs, |
| --- | --- |

—

ECB/NCBs,

| — | other MFIs, |

Securities issued through SPEs where the ultimate liability for the issue is incurred by the parent organisation and not the SPE must be attributed to the parent organisation and not the SPE. For example, issues by an SPE of “AJAX Electronics”, a non-financial corporation located in the euro area country “Country A”, would have to be allocated to the non-financial corporation sector and reported by Country A. However, the SPE and its parent must be resident in the same country. Hence, where the parent company is not a resident of the reporting country, the SPE must be treated as a notional resident of the reporting country, and the issuing sector must be aligned with the economic function of the SPE. For example, if “ACME Motors” was a non-financial corporation resident in Japan producing automobiles and “ACME Motor Finance” was a subsidiary resident in euro area country “Country B”, issues by ACME Motor Finance would have to be attributed to captive financial institutions of Country B, because the parent company ACME Motors is not resident in the same country. The only exception to this is the case of SPEs owned by government, in which case the security is recorded as being issued by the government in the country of the parent organisation (4).

A public corporation that becomes privatised by issuing listed shares must be allocated to the non-financial corporation sector. Similarly, a public credit institution (CI) that is privatised must be allocated to the MFIs other than central banks sector. Issues by households or non-profit institutions serving households must be classified as issues by non-financial corporations.

3.   Maturity of issues

Short-term debt securities comprise securities that have an original maturity of one year or less, even if they are issued under longer-term facilities.

Long-term debt securities comprise securities that have an original maturity of more than one year. Issues with optional maturity dates, the latest of which is more than one year away, and issues with indefinite maturity dates, are classified as long-term.

A two-year maturity split, as in the MFI balance sheet statistics, is not required.

4.   Classification of long-term debt securities by interest rate

Long-term debt securities are divided into:

| | Fixed interest rate debt securities, i.e. debt securities which are issued and redeemed at par value and debt securities issued at a discount or premium to their par value. |
| --- | --- |

Fixed interest rate debt securities, i.e. debt securities which are issued and redeemed at par value and debt securities issued at a discount or premium to their par value.

| | Variable interest rate debt securities, i.e. debt securities where the coupon rate and/or underlying principal is linked to a general price index for goods and services (such as the consumer price index), an interest rate, or an asset price resulting in a variable nominal coupon payment over the life of the issue. For the purposes of securities issues statistics, mixed interest rate debt securities are classified as variable interest rate (5). |
| --- | --- |

Variable interest rate debt securities, i.e. debt securities where the coupon rate and/or underlying principal is linked to a general price index for goods and services (such as the consumer price index), an interest rate, or an asset price resulting in a variable nominal coupon payment over the life of the issue. For the purposes of securities issues statistics, mixed interest rate debt securities are classified as variable interest rate (5).

| | Zero coupon bonds issued at discount, i.e. instruments that have no interest payments and are issued at a considerable discount to par value. Most of the discount represents the equivalent of the interest accrued during the life of the bond. |
| --- | --- |

Zero coupon bonds issued at discount, i.e. instruments that have no interest payments and are issued at a considerable discount to par value. Most of the discount represents the equivalent of the interest accrued during the life of the bond.

5.   Classification of issues

Issues are analysed under two broad groupings: (a) debt securities (6), and (b) listed shares (7). Securities issued via private placement are covered as far as possible. Money market paper is included indistinguishably as part of debt securities. Unlisted shares (8) and other equity (9) may be reported on a voluntary basis as two separate memorandum items. Shares/units issued by money market funds and other investment funds are excluded.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of instruments covered in in the securities issues statistics:

—

issues of bonus shares at the time of issue only and split share issues; bonus shares and split shares are however included indistinguishably in the total stock of listed shares.

6.   Currency of issue

Dual currency bonds must be classified according to the denomination of the bond. Dual currency bonds are defined as bonds that are scheduled to be redeemed or the coupon paid in a different currency from the denomination of the bond. If a global bond is issued in more than one currency, each portion must be reported as a separate issue, according to its currency of issue. Where issues are denominated in two currencies, e.g. 70 % in euro and 30 % in US dollars, the relevant components of the issue must be reported separately where possible according to the currency denomination. Hence, in the given example 70 % of the issue must be reported as issues in euro/national denominations (10) and 30 % as issues in other currencies. Where it is not possible to separately identify the currency components of an issue, the actual breakdown made by the reporting country must be indicated in the national explanatory notes.

7.   Time of recording issue

An issue is considered to have occurred when the issuer receives payment, and not when the syndicate takes up the commitment.

8.   Reconciliation of stocks and flows

NCBs must submit information on outstanding amounts, gross issues, redemptions and net issues of short-term and long-term debt securities and on listed shares.

The table below illustrates the link between stocks (i.e. outstanding amounts) and flows (i.e. gross issues, redemptions and net issues). In practice, the link is more complex due to price and exchange rate valuation changes, reinvested (i.e. accrued) interest, reclassifications, revisions and other adjustments.

Reclassifications and other changes

(a)   Gross issues

Gross issues during the reporting period must include all issues of debt securities and listed shares where the issuer sells newly-created securities for cash. They concern the regular creation of new instruments. The point in time at which issues have been concluded is defined as the time at which payment is made; the recording of issues must therefore reflect as closely as possible the timing of payment for the underlying issue.

For listed shares, gross issues cover newly-created shares which are issued for cash by corporations listed on a stock exchange for the first time, including newly-created companies or private companies becoming public companies. Gross issues also cover newly-created shares which are issued against cash during the privatisation of public corporations when the corporation's shares are listed on a stock exchange. The issue of bonus shares must be excluded (11). Gross issues must not be reported in the event of a sole listing of a corporation on a stock exchange where no new capital is raised.

The exchange or transfer of existing securities during a takeover or merger is not covered (12) within the reported gross issues or redemptions, except for new instruments which are created and issued against cash by a euro area resident entity.

Issues of securities which can later be converted into other instruments must be recorded as issues in their original instrument category; on conversion they are to be recorded as having been redeemed from this instrument category, with an identical amount then treated as gross issues in a new category (13).

(b)   Redemptions

Redemptions during the reporting period cover all repurchases of debt securities and listed shares by the issuer, where the investor receives cash for the securities. Redemptions concern the regular deletion of instruments. They cover all debt securities reaching their maturity date, as well as early redemptions. Company share buy-backs are covered if the company either repurchases all shares against cash prior to a change of its legal form, or repurchases part of its shares against cash and subsequently cancels them, leading to a reduction in capital. Company share buy-backs are not covered if they represent investments by a company in its own shares (14).

Redemptions must not be reported in the event of a sole delisting from a stock exchange.

(c)   Net issues

Net issues are the balance of all gross issues made minus all redemptions that have occurred during the reporting period.

The outstanding amounts of listed shares must cover the market value of all the listed shares of the resident entities. The outstanding amounts of listed shares reported by a euro area country may therefore increase or decrease following relocation of a listed entity. This also applies in the event of a takeover or merger where no instruments are created and issued against cash and/or redeemed against cash and cancelled. To avoid double counting or gaps for debt securities and listed shares in the event of an issuer relocating to another resident country, the relevant NCBs must coordinate the timing of reporting of such an event bilaterally.

9.   Valuation

The value of a securities issue comprises a price component and, where an issue is denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency, an exchange rate component.

NCBs must report short-term debt securities at face value (15) and listed shares at market value. For long-term debt securities different methods may be used for valuation depending on the interest rate type, resulting in a mixed valuation for the total. For example, fixed interest rate and variable interest rate issues are typically valued at face value, and zero coupon bonds at the nominal value. Generally, the relative amount of zero coupon bonds is small, so that no provision for a mixed valuation value is made in the code list; the total amount of long-term debt securities is reported at face value. Where the magnitude of the phenomenon is significant, the value “Z” for “not specified” is used. In general, whenever there is a situation where mixed valuation occurs, details are provided by the NCB at the attribute level in accordance with the attributes in Annex III.

| (a) | Price valuation
  Stocks and flows of listed shares must be reported at market value.
  An exception to the recording of stocks and flows of debt securities at face value is made in respect of deep-discounted and zero coupon bonds, where the outstanding amounts and gross issues are recorded at the nominal value, i.e. the discounted price at the time of issue plus accrued interest, and the redemptions at maturity at face value. The nominal value of the outstanding amounts of zero coupon bonds can be calculated as shown below.

(a)

Price valuation

Stocks and flows of listed shares must be reported at market value.

An exception to the recording of stocks and flows of debt securities at face value is made in respect of deep-discounted and zero coupon bonds, where the outstanding amounts and gross issues are recorded at the nominal value, i.e. the discounted price at the time of issue plus accrued interest, and the redemptions at maturity at face value. The nominal value of the outstanding amounts of zero coupon bonds can be calculated as shown below.

where

A

P

=

T

=

There may be certain differences in the price valuation procedure used across countries.

The ESA 2010 price valuation approach, which requires flows for debt securities and shares to be recorded at transaction value and stocks at market value, is not applied in this context.

For deep-discounted and zero coupon bonds, the reporting NCB must calculate accrued interest where feasible.

| (b) | Reporting currency and exchange rate valuation
  NCBs must report all data to the ECB expressed in euro, including historical series. For the conversion into euro of securities issued by domestic residents in other currencies (Block C) (16), NCBs must follow as closely as possible the exchange rate valuation principles based on the ESA 2010 (17), as set out below.






  (i) | Outstanding issues must be converted into euro/national denominations at the relevant mid-market exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period, i.e. the close of business on the last working day of the reporting period. |

If it is not possible to identify the exact exchange rate applicable for the conversion, an exchange rate that is as close as possible to the mid-market rate at the time of payment may be used. |

Gross issues and redemptions must be converted into euro/national denominations using the mid-market exchange rate prevailing at the time of payment. If it is not possible to identify the exact exchange rate applicable for the conversion, an exchange rate that is as close as possible to the mid-market rate at the time of payment may be used.

10.   Conceptual consistency

Securities issues statistics and MFI balance sheet statistics are linked for the purpose of issues of negotiable instruments by MFIs. The coverage of instruments and of the MFIs that issue them are conceptually consistent, as well as the allocation of instruments to maturity bands and the currency breakdown. Differences between securities issues statistics and MFI balance sheet statistics exist regarding the valuation principles (i.e. with respect to debt securities, face value for the former and market value for the latter). Except for valuation differences and the netting of own holdings of securities on the balance sheet of MFIs for each country, the outstanding amount of securities issued by MFIs reported for securities issues statistics corresponds to item 11 (“debt securities issued”) on the liability side of the MFI balance sheet. Short-term debt securities as defined for securities issues statistics correspond to debt securities issued up to one year. Long-term debt securities as defined for securities issues statistics equal the sum of debt securities issued over one and up to two years and debt securities issued over two years.

NCBs must review the coverage of the securities issues statistics and the MFI balance sheet statistics and indicate any conceptual differences to the ECB. Three types of consistency checks are performed in respect of issues by: (a) NCBs in euro/national denominations; (b) MFIs other than central banks in euro/national denominations; and (c) MFIs other than central banks in other currencies. Conceptual differences may arise between securities issue statistics and MFI balance sheet statistics, since the securities issues statistics and the MFI balance sheet statistics are derived from national reporting systems with different purposes.

11.   Data requirements

Statistical returns are expected from each country for each applicable time series. NCBs must notify the ECB promptly in writing with explanations if a particular item does not apply in a particular country. NCBs may be temporarily exempted from the reporting of a time series if the underlying phenomenon does not exist. NCBs must also notify this occurrence or any other departures from the reporting scheme described in Annex III. Furthermore, they must inform the ECB when revisions are sent together with explanations on the nature of these revisions.

Section 3: National explanatory notes

Each NCB must submit a report describing the data provided in the context of this exercise. The report must cover the topics detailed below and follow the proposed layout as closely as possible. NCBs must provide additional information on instances where data reported do not comply with this Guideline, or where they have not provided the data, and the reasons for this. The report must not be submitted later than the data.

1.   Data sources/data collection system: details of the data sources used to compile securities issues statistics must be given: administrative sources for government issues, direct reporting from MFIs and other institutions, newspapers, and data providers such as the International Financial Review etc. NCBs must indicate whether the data are collected and stored on an issue-by-issue basis, and their criteria. Alternatively, NCBs must indicate whether the data are collected and stored indistinguishably as amounts issued by individual issuers during a reporting period, e.g. for direct data collection systems. NCBs must provide information on the criteria used in direct reporting to identify the reporting agents and the information to be submitted.

2.   Compilation procedures: the method used to compile data in this exercise must be briefly described, e.g. aggregation of information on individual securities issues, arrangements for existing time series and whether published or not.

3.   Residence of the issuer: NCBs must specify whether it is possible to fully apply the ESA 2010 (and IMF) definition of residency in classifying issues. If this is not possible, or only partially possible, NCBs must provide a full explanation of the criteria actually used.

4.   Sectoral breakdown of issuers: NCBs must indicate deviations from the classification of issuers according to the sectoral breakdown defined in Section 2 point 2. The notes must explain the identified deviations and any grey areas.

5.   Currency of issue: if it is not possible to separately identify the currency components of an issue, NCBs must explain deviations from the rules. Furthermore, NCBs that cannot distinguish for all securities between issues in local denominations, in other euro/national denominations and in other currencies, must describe where such issues have been classified and indicate the total amount of issues that were not properly allocated to illustrate the size of the distortion.

6.   Classification of issues: NCBs must provide comprehensive information on the type of securities covered by the national data, including their national terms. If coverage is known to be partial, NCBs must explain existing gaps. In particular, NCBs must provide the information set out below.

—   Private placements: NCBs must indicate whether or not they are covered in the reported data.

—   Bankers' acceptances: if negotiable and included in the reported data for short-term debt securities, the reporting NCB must explain in the national explanatory notes the national procedures for recording these instruments and their nature.

—   Listed shares: NCBs must indicate whether unlisted shares or other equity are covered in the reported data with an estimate of the amount of unlisted shares and/or other equity to illustrate the size of the distortion. NCBs must indicate in the national explanatory notes any known gaps in the coverage of listed shares.

7.   Instrument analysis of long-term debt securities: if the sum of fixed rate, variable rate and zero coupon bonds does not add up to the total for long-term debt securities, NCBs must give the type and amount of long-term securities for which no such breakdown is available.

8.   Maturity of issues: if the strict application of the short and long-term debt security definitions cannot be followed, NCBs must indicate where the reported data deviate.

9.   Redemptions: NCBs must specify how they derive the information on redemptions and whether the information is collected by direct reporting or calculated by residual.

10.   Price valuation: NCBs must specify in detail in the national explanatory notes the valuation procedure used for (a) short-term debt securities; (b) long-term debt securities; (c) discounted bonds; and (d) listed shares. Any valuation difference for stocks and flows must be explained.

11.   Reporting frequency, timeliness and time range: NCBs must specify the extent to which the data compiled for this exercise has been provided in conformity with the user requirements, i.e. with a timeliness of five weeks for monthly data. The length of the time series provided must also be given. Any breaks in the series must be reported, e.g. differences in the coverage of securities over time.

12.   Revisions: NCBs must provide brief explanatory notes for any revisions and clarify the reason for them and their extent.

13.   Estimated coverage per instrument issued by domestic residents: NCBs must give national estimates of the coverage of securities for each category of issues by domestic residents, i.e. issues of short-term securities, long-term securities, and listed shares, in local currency, other euro/national denominations including ECU, and other currencies in accordance with the table below. The estimates for “coverage in %” must indicate the share of securities covered in each instrument category as percentages of the total issue, which must be reported under the relevant heading following the reporting rules. Brief descriptions may be provided in “comments”. NCBs must also indicate any changes in coverage as a result of joining the monetary union.

| | Coverage in %: | Comments: |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Issues in euro/national denominations | Local denomination | STS | | |

Maturity of issues

With regard to maturity, the BIS considers all euro commercial paper ECP and other euro notes drawn under a short-term programme as short-term instruments, and all instruments issued under long-term documentation as long-term instruments whatever their original maturity.

Sectoral breakdown of issuers

The BIS follows the mappings between the sectoral breakdown of issuers available in the BIS database and those requested in the report forms, as shown in the table below.

| Sectoral breakdown in BIS database | | Classification in report forms |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Central bank | → | NCB and ECB |

Valuation

Current BIS valuation rules are face value for debt securities and issue price for listed shares.

The BIS reports to the ECB all issues by RoW residents in euro/national denominations (Block B) in US dollars using the end-of-period exchange rate for amounts outstanding and the period's average exchange rate for issues and redemptions. The ECB converts all data into euro using the same principle as initially applied by the BIS. For periods prior to 1 January 1999, the exchange rate between the ECU and the US dollar must be used as a proxy.’
