REGULATION (EC) No 24/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 19 December 2008

concerning statistics on the assets and liabilities of financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation transactions

(ECB/2008/30)

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 (hereinafter the ‘ESCB Statute’), 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,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 provides in Article 2(1) that, for the fulfilment of its statistical reporting requirements, the European Central Bank (ECB), assisted by the national central banks (NCBs), has the right to collect statistical information within the limits of the reference reporting population and of what is necessary to carry out the tasks of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). It follows from Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 that financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation transactions (FVCs) form part of the reference reporting population for the purposes of fulfilling the ECB's statistical reporting requirements, inter alia, in the field of monetary and financial statistics. Furthermore, 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. |

Furthermore, 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.

| (2) | The purpose of FVC data is to provide the ECB with adequate statistics on the financial activities of the FVC sub-sector in the participating Member States, which are viewed as one economic territory. |

(2)

The purpose of FVC data is to provide the ECB with adequate statistics on the financial activities of the FVC sub-sector in the participating Member States, which are viewed as one economic territory.

| (3) | Given the close links between the securitisation activities of FVCs and monetary financial institutions (MFIs), consistent, complementary and integrated reporting of MFIs and FVCs is required. Therefore, the statistical information provided in accordance with this Regulation needs to be considered together with the data requirements for MFIs on securitised loans, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 of 19 December 2008 concerning the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2008/32) (2). |

| (4) | The integrated reporting approach of FVCs and MFIs and the derogations provided for in this Regulation aim at minimising the reporting burden for reporting agents and avoiding overlaps in the reporting of statistical information by FVCs and MFIs. |

NCBs should be entitled to exempt FVCs from reporting obligations that would cause unreasonably high costs compared to their statistical benefit.

| (6) | Although regulations adopted under Article 34.1 of the ESCB Statute do not confer any rights or impose any obligations on non-participating Member States, Article 5 of the ESCB Statute applies to all Member States, irrespective of whether they have adopted the euro. Recital 17 to Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 makes clear that Article 5 of the ESCB Statute, together with Article 10 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, implies an obligation to design and implement at national level all the measures that the non-participating Member States consider appropriate to collect the statistical information needed to fulfil the ECB's statistical reporting requirements and make timely preparations in the field of statistics to become participating Member States. |

Article 2

Reporting population

1.   FVCs resident in the territory of a participating Member State shall form the reference reporting population. The reference reporting population shall be subject to the obligation laid down in Article 3(2).

2.   The reference reporting population excluding those FVCs which have been fully exempted pursuant to Article 5(1)(c) shall form the actual reporting population. The actual reporting population shall be subject to the reporting obligations laid down in Article 4, subject to the derogations laid down in Article 5. The FVCs that are subject to reporting their annual financial statement pursuant to Article 5(3) or that are subject to ad hoc reporting obligations pursuant to Article 5(5) shall also form part of the actual reporting population.

3.   If an FVC does not have legal personality under its national law, the persons legally entitled to represent the FVC, or in the absence of formalised representation, persons that under the applicable national laws are liable for acts of the FVC, shall be responsible for reporting the information required under this Regulation.

Article 3

List of FVCs for statistical purposes

1.   The ECB's Executive Board shall establish and maintain, for statistical purposes, a list of FVCs that form the reference reporting population. FVCs shall submit to the NCBs the data that the NCBs require in accordance with Guideline ECB/2008/31 of 19 December 2008 amending Guideline ECB/2007/9 on monetary, financial institutions and markets statistics (recast) (4). The NCBs and the ECB shall make this list and its updates available in an appropriate form, including by electronic means, via the Internet or, at the request of the reporting agents concerned, in paper form.

2.   An FVC shall inform the relevant NCB of its existence within one week from the date on which the FVC has taken up business irrespective of whether it expects to be subject to regular reporting obligations under this Regulation.

3.   If the latest accessible electronic version of the list referred to in paragraph 1 is incorrect, the ECB shall not impose sanctions on any entity which did not properly fulfil its reporting requirements to the extent that the requirement set out in paragraph 2 was met and that the entity relied on the incorrect list in good faith.

Article 4

Quarterly statistical reporting requirements and reporting rules

1.   The actual reporting population shall provide to the relevant NCB, data on end-of-quarter outstanding amounts, financial transactions and write-offs/write-downs on the assets and liabilities of FVCs on a quarterly basis, in accordance with Annexes I and II.

2.   NCBs may collect the statistical information on securities issued and held by FVCs required under paragraph 1 on a security-by-security basis, to the extent that the data referred to in paragraph 1 can be derived according to minimum statistical standards as specified in Annex III.

3.   Without prejudice to the reporting rules laid down in Annex II, all assets and liabilities of FVCs shall be reported under this Regulation in accordance with the reporting rules laid down in the relevant national law transposing Council Directive 86/635/EEC of 8 December 1986 on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of banks and other financial institutions (5). The accounting rules in the relevant national law transposing the Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty on the annual accounts of certain types of companies (6) shall apply to FVCs that do not fall within the scope of the national law transposing Directive 86/635/EEC. Any other relevant national or international accounting standards or practices shall apply to FVCs not falling under national law transposing either of these directives.

4.   Where paragraph 3 requires the reporting of instruments on a mark-to-market basis, NCBs may exempt FVCs from reporting these instruments on a mark-to-market basis where the costs entailed by the FVC would be unreasonably high. In this case the FVCs shall apply the valuation used for the purpose of the investor reports.

5.   Where according to national market practices available data refer to any date within a quarter, NCBs may allow the reporting agents to report these quarterly data instead, if the data are comparable and if significant transactions occurring between this date and the end of the quarter are taken into account.

6.   Instead of write-offs/write-downs referred to in paragraph 1, an FVC may, in agreement with the relevant NCB, provide other information which allows the NCB to derive the required data on write-offs/write-downs.

Article 5

Derogations

1.   NCBs may grant derogations to the reporting requirements set out in Article 4 as follows:

| (a) | for loans originated by euro area MFIs and broken down by maturity, sector and residency of debtors, and where the MFIs continue to service the securitised loans within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32), the NCBs may grant FVCs derogations from reporting data on these loans. Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32) provides for the reporting of these data; |

Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32) provides for the reporting of these data;

| (b) | the NCBs may exempt FVCs from all reporting requirements set out in Annex I, apart from the obligation to report, on a quarterly basis, end-of-quarter outstanding amount data on total assets, provided that the FVCs that contribute to the quarterly aggregated assets/liabilities account for at least 95 % of the total of FVCs' assets in terms of outstanding amounts, in each participating Member State. The NCBs shall check the fulfilment of this condition in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of each calendar year; |
| --- | --- |

The NCBs shall check the fulfilment of this condition in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of each calendar year;

| (c) | to the extent that the data referred to in Article 4 can be derived, according to minimum statistical standards as specified in Annex III, from other statistical, public or supervisory data sources and without prejudice to subparagraphs (a) and (b), the NCBs may, after consulting the ECB, fully or partially exempt reporting agents from the reporting requirements set out in Annex I to this Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

to the extent that the data referred to in Article 4 can be derived, according to minimum statistical standards as specified in Annex III, from other statistical, public or supervisory data sources and without prejudice to subparagraphs (a) and (b), the NCBs may, after consulting the ECB, fully or partially exempt reporting agents from the reporting requirements set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

2.   The FVCs may choose, with the relevant NCB's prior consent, not to use the derogations referred to in paragraph 1 and to fulfil the full reporting requirements specified in Article 4 instead.

3.   FVCs that benefit from a derogation within the meaning of paragraph 1(c) shall report their annual financial statements to the relevant NCB, if this is not available from public sources, within six months following the end of the reference period or at the earliest point in time thereafter, in accordance with the applicable national legal practices in the FVC's Member State of residence. The relevant NCB shall notify those FVCs which are subject to this reporting requirement.

4.   The relevant NCB shall withdraw the derogation laid down in paragraph 1(c) if data of statistical standards comparable to those prescribed in this Regulation have not been made available in time to the relevant NCB for three consecutive reporting periods, independent of any fault attributable to the FVC involved. FVCs shall start reporting data, as set out in Article 4, not later than three months from the date on which the relevant NCB has notified the reporting agents that the derogation has been withdrawn.

5.   Without prejudice to paragraph 3, in order to meet the requirements set out in this Regulation, NCBs may address ad hoc reporting requirements to FVCs that have been granted derogations within the meaning of paragraph 1(c). FVCs shall report the information requested on an ad hoc basis within 15 working days following a request made by the relevant NCB.

Article 6

Timeliness

NCBs shall submit to the ECB data on aggregated quarterly assets and liabilities covering the positions of FVCs in each participating Member State by close of business on the 28th working day following the end of the quarter to which the data relate. NCBs shall set deadlines for receiving the data from reporting agents.

Article 7

Minimum standards and national reporting arrangements

1.   FVCs shall comply with the reporting requirements to which they are subject in accordance with the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex III.

2.   The NCBs shall define and implement the reporting arrangements to be followed by the actual reporting population in accordance with national characteristics. The NCBs shall ensure that these reporting arrangements provide the required statistical information and allow accurate checking of compliance with concepts and the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy and revisions specified in Annex III.

Article 8

Verification and compulsory collection

The NCBs shall exercise the right to verify or collect 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, and compliance with the concepts and revisions specified in Annex III.

Article 9

First reporting

1.   An FVC that has taken up business prior to and including 24 March 2009 shall inform the relevant NCB of its existence by the end of March 2009, irrespective of whether it expects to be subject to regular reporting under this Regulation.

2.   An FVC that has taken up business after 24 March 2009 shall inform the relevant NCB of its existence in accordance with Article 3(2).

3.   The first reporting in accordance with the statistical reporting requirements to which the FVC is subject pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 shall begin with quarterly data from December 2009. When reporting data for the first time, only outstanding amounts shall be reported.

4.   FVCs that take up business after 31 December 2009 shall, when reporting data for the first time, report data on a quarterly basis as far back as the original securitisation transaction.

5.   FVCs that take up business after adoption of the euro by their Member State following 31 December 2009, when reporting data for the first time, shall report data on a quarterly basis as far back as the original securitisation transaction.

ANNEX II

DEFINITIONS

PART 1

Definitions of instrument categories

This table provides a detailed standard description of the instrument categories which national central banks (NCBs) transpose into national categories 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 European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (hereinafter the ‘ESA95’).

All financial assets and liabilities must be reported on a gross basis, i.e. financial assets must not be reported net of financial liabilities.

Securitised loans

For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this consists of funds lent to borrowers and acquired by the reporting agents from the originator. These funds are not evidenced by documents or are represented by a single document even if it has become negotiable.

This also includes:

| — | financial leases granted to third parties: financial leases are contracts whereby the legal owner of a durable good (hereinafter the ‘lessor’) lends these assets to a third party (hereinafter the ‘lessee’) for most if not all of the economic lifetime of the assets, in exchange for instalments covering the costs of the good plus an imputed interest charge. The lessee is assumed to receive all the benefits derivable from the use of the good and to incur the costs and risks associated with ownership. For statistical purposes, financial leases are treated as loans from the lessor to the lessee enabling the lessee to purchase the durable good. Financial leases granted by an originator, acting as the lessor, are to be recorded under the asset item ‘securitised loans’. The assets (durable goods) which have been lent to the lessee must not be recorded |

| — | subordinated debt in the form of deposits or loans: subordinated debt instruments provide a subsidiary claim on the issuing institution that can only be exercised after all claims with a higher status e.g. deposits/loans have been satisfied, giving them some of the characteristics of ‘shares and other equity’. For statistical purposes, subordinated debt is to be treated according to the nature of the financial instrument, i.e. classified as either ‘securitised loans’ or ‘securities other than shares’ according to the nature of the instrument. Where FVC holdings of all forms of subordinated debt are currently identified as a single figure for statistical purposes, this figure is to be classified under the item ‘securities other than shares’, on the grounds that subordinated debt is predominantly constituted in the form of securities, rather than as loans |

PART 3

Definition of financial transactions

Financial transactions, in accordance with ESA95, are defined as the net acquisition of financial assets or the net incurrence of liabilities for each type of financial instrument, i.e. the sum of all financial transactions that occur during the relevant reporting period. The method of valuation for each transaction is to take the value at which assets are acquired/disposed of and/or liabilities are created, liquidated or exchanged. Financial transactions must in principle comply with this methodology. Write-offs/write-downs and valuation changes do not represent financial transactions.

PART 4

Definition of write-offs/write-downs

Write-offs/write-downs are defined as the impact of changes in the value of loans recorded on the balance sheet that are caused by the application of write-offs/write-downs of loans. Write-offs/write-downs recognised at the time a loan is sold or transferred to a third party are also included, where identifiable. Write-offs refer to events where the loan is considered to be a worthless asset and is removed from the balance sheet. Write-downs refer to events where it is deemed that the loan will not be fully recovered, and the value of the loan is reduced in the balance sheet.

Article 1

Definitions

For the purpose of this Regulation:

| — | ‘monetary financial institution’ (MFI) means a resident credit institution as defined in Community law, or another resident financial institution whose business is to receive deposits and/or close substitutes for deposits from entities other than MFIs and, for its own account (at least in economic terms), to grant credits and/or make investments in securities. The MFI sector comprises (9): (a) central banks; (b) credit institutions as defined in Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/48/EC (an undertaking whose business is to receive deposits or other repayable funds from the public (10) and to grant credits for its own account or an electronic money institution within the meaning of Directive 2000/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on the taking up, pursuit of and prudential supervision of the business of electronic money institutions (11)); and (c) other MFIs, i.e. other resident financial institutions which fulfil the MFI definition, irrespective of the nature of their business. The degree of substitutability between the instruments issued by the latter and the deposits placed with credit institutions determines their classification, provided that they meet the MFI definition in other respects. In the case of collective investment undertakings, MMFs fulfil the agreed conditions for liquidity and are therefore included in the MFI sector (see principles on identification of MFIs in Annex I, Part 1), |

Article 3

List of MFIs for statistical purposes

1.   The Executive Board of the ECB 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.

Further details on certain items of the balance sheet and non-balance sheet information shall be reported quarterly or annually. 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 minimum statistical standards as specified in Annex IV.

3.   MFIs shall report in accordance with the minimum requirements set out in Table 1A of Part 5 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’.

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 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 and are necessary to maintain continuity in the statistical valuation of loans with the data reported for periods prior to January 2005.

6.   Derogations may be granted in respect of the statistical reporting of loans that are disposed of by means of a securitisation.

MFIs applying the IAS 39 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.

7.   Derogations may be granted in respect of 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 Member State or positions vis-à-vis the currency of a Member State that has not adopted the euro 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 9

Minimum standards and national reporting arrangements

1.   The required statistical information shall be reported in accordance with the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, conceptual compliance and revisions as set out 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 characteristics. The NCBs shall ensure that these reporting arrangements provide the statistical information required and allow accurate checking of compliance with the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, conceptual compliance and revisions as set out in Annex IV.

Article 10

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 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 11

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 small institutions in the ‘tail’ 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 12

Verification and compulsory collection

The NCBs shall exercise the right to verify or collect the information which reporting agents are required to provide pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to the ECB's right to exercise this right 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, conceptual compliance and revisions specified in Annex IV.

Article 13

First reporting

1.   First reporting according to this Regulation shall begin with data for June 2010, including data back to December 2009 for Table 5 only.

2.   First reporting according to this Regulation in respect of cells corresponding to syndicated loans in Table 1 of Part 2 of Annex I shall begin with data for December 2011.

3.   First reporting according to this Regulation in respect of cells corresponding to Member States that have adopted the euro 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.

4.   First reporting according to this Regulation in respect of cells corresponding to Member States that have not adopted the euro 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 EU. 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 EU, reporting shall begin 12 months after the NCB informs the reporting agents that data are required.

Article 14

Repeal

1.   Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) shall be repealed with effect from 1 July 2010.

2.   References made to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and be read in accordance with the correlation table set out in Annex V.

ANNEX I

MONETARY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND STATISTICAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Introduction

The statistical system for the participating 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 |
| --- | --- |

(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). |
| --- | --- |

(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 reporting requirements on other financial intermediaries except insurance corporations and pension funds (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 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. |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

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:






  — | transferability refers to the possibility of mobilising funds placed in a financial instrument by using payment facilities, such as cheques, transfer orders, direct debits or similar means, |
| --- | --- | --- |

1.2.

—

transferability refers to the possibility of mobilising funds placed in a financial instrument by using payment facilities, such as cheques, transfer orders, direct debits or similar means,

| — | convertibility refers to the possibility and the cost of converting financial instruments into currency or transferable deposits; the loss of fiscal advantages in the case of such conversion may be considered a penalty that reduces the degree of liquidity, |
| --- | --- |

—

convertibility refers to the possibility and the cost of converting financial instruments into currency or transferable deposits; the loss of fiscal advantages in the case of such conversion may be considered a penalty that reduces the degree of liquidity,

| — | certainty means knowing precisely in advance the capital value of a financial instrument in terms of national currency, and |
| --- | --- |

—

certainty means knowing precisely in advance the capital value of a financial instrument in terms of national currency, and

| — | securities quoted and traded regularly on an organised market are considered to be marketable. For shares in open-end collective investment undertakings, there is no market in the usual sense. Nevertheless, investors know the daily quotation of the shares and can withdraw funds at this price. |
| --- | --- |

—

securities quoted and traded regularly on an organised market are considered to be marketable. For shares in open-end collective investment undertakings, there is no market in the usual sense. Nevertheless, investors know the daily quotation of the shares and can withdraw funds at this price.

Section 2: Principles for identification of MMFs

| 2.1. | MMFs are defined as those collective investment undertakings (CIUs) the shares/units of which are, in terms of liquidity, close substitutes for deposits and which primarily invest in money market instruments and/or in MMF shares/units and/or in other transferable debt instruments with a residual maturity of up to and including one year, and/or in bank deposits, and/or which pursue a rate of return that approaches the interest rates of money market instruments. The criteria applied in order to identify MMFs are derived from the public prospectus as well as fund rules, instruments of incorporation, established statutes or by-laws, subscription documents or investment contracts, marketing documents, or any other statement with similar effects, of the CIUs.
  The MMF itself or the person legally representing it ensures the provision of any information required to meet its statistical reporting requirements. Where necessary for practical reasons, the data may be effectively submitted by any of the entities that act in the context of financial activities involving MMF shares/units, such as depositories. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.

The MMF itself or the person legally representing it ensures the provision of any information required to meet its statistical reporting requirements. Where necessary for practical reasons, the data may be effectively submitted by any of the entities that act in the context of financial activities involving MMF shares/units, such as depositories.

| 2.2. | For the purpose of defining MMFs:






  — | ‘CIUs’ means undertakings the sole object of which is the collective investment of capital raised from the public and the units of which are, at the request of the holders, repurchased or redeemed directly or indirectly out of the undertaking's assets. Such undertakings may be constituted according to law, either under the law of contract (as common funds managed by management companies), or trust law (as unit trusts), or under company law (as investment companies), |

Such undertakings may be constituted according to law, either under the law of contract (as common funds managed by management companies), or trust law (as unit trusts), or under company law (as investment companies),

| — | ‘bank deposits’ means cash deposits made with credit institutions, repayable on demand or upon prior notice of up to three months, or at agreed maturities of up to two years, inclusive of sums paid to credit institutions in respect of a transfer of securities under repurchase agreements and securities lending, |

—

‘bank deposits’ means cash deposits made with credit institutions, repayable on demand or upon prior notice of up to three months, or at agreed maturities of up to two years, inclusive of sums paid to credit institutions in respect of a transfer of securities under repurchase agreements and securities lending,

| — | ‘close substitutability for deposits in terms of liquidity’ means the ability of units of CIUs, under normal market circumstances, to be repurchased, redeemed or transferred, at the request of the holder, where the liquidity of the units is comparable to the liquidity of deposits, |
| --- | --- |

—

‘close substitutability for deposits in terms of liquidity’ means the ability of units of CIUs, under normal market circumstances, to be repurchased, redeemed or transferred, at the request of the holder, where the liquidity of the units is comparable to the liquidity of deposits,

| — | ‘primarily’ means at least 85 % of the investment portfolio, |
| --- | --- |

—

‘primarily’ means at least 85 % of the investment portfolio,

| — | ‘money market instruments’ means those classes of transferable debt instruments which are normally traded on the money market (for example, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and banker's acceptances, treasury and local authority bills) because of the following features:






  (a) | liquidity, where they can be repurchased, redeemed or sold at limited cost, in terms of low fees and narrow bid/offer spread, and with very short settlement delay; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

PART 2

Balance sheet (monthly stocks)

To compile the monetary aggregates and counterparts for the territory of the participating Member States, 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, securities other than shares, MMF shares/units, shares and other equity, 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 (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 residents (other than MFIs and general government) of the participating Member States 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 participating Member States, 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 proprietors/unincorporated partnerships

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 proprietors/unincorporated partnerships 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 proprietors/unincorporated partnerships if such loans constitute less than 5 % of the participating 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 counterparties sector and residency

| 5.1. | The compilation of monetary aggregates and counterparts covering the participating Member States requires the identification of those counterparties located in the territory of the participating Member States that form the money-holding sector. For this purpose, non-MFI counterparties are divided, following ESA 95 (see Annex II, Part 3), 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: other financial intermediaries + financial auxiliaries (S.123 + S.124), insurance corporations and pension funds (S.125), non-financial corporations (S.11) and households + non-profit institutions serving households (S.14 + S.15). For sole proprietors/unincorporated partnerships 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. |
| --- | --- |

5.1.

| 5.2. | With respect to total deposit liabilities, deposit liabilities with maturity of up to two years and the asset category ‘securities other than shares’, an additional distinction is made for counterparties that are FVCs. |
| --- | --- |

5.2.

| 5.3. | Certain deposits/loans arising from repos/reverse repos or analogous operations with ‘other financial intermediaries (S.123) + financial auxiliaries (S.124)’ 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. |
| --- | --- |

5.3.

| 5.4. | Counterparties located in the domestic territory and in the other participating Member States are identified separately and treated in the same way in all statistical breakdowns. There is no requirement for a geographical breakdown of counterparties located outside the territory of the participating Member States. Counterparties located in the territory of the participating Member States are identified according to their domestic sector or institutional classification in accordance with the list of MFIs for statistical purposes and the ECB's Sector Manual (1), which follows classification principles that are consistent with the ESA 95 as far as possible. |
| --- | --- |

5.4.

| 5.5. | In the case of MMF shares/units issued by MFIs of the participating Member States, reporting agents report as a minimum data on the residency of the holders according to a domestic/other participating Member States/rest of the world breakdown to allow the exclusion of holdings of non-residents of the participating Member States. As regards registered shares/units, issuing MMFs or the persons legally representing them report data on the residency breakdown of the holders of their shares/units issued in the monthly balance sheet. As regards bearer shares/units, reporting agents report data on the residency breakdown of the holders of MMF shares/units in accordance with the approach decided by the relevant NCB in agreement with the ECB. This requirement is limited to one or a combination of the following options, to be selected having regard to the organisation of the relevant markets and the national legal arrangements in the Member State in question. This requirement will be periodically monitored by the NCB.






  (a) | Issuing MMFs:
  Issuing MMFs or the persons legally representing them report data on the residency breakdown of the holders of their shares/units issued. Such information may come from the agent distributing the shares/units or from any other entity involved in the issue, buy-back or transfer of the shares/units. |
| --- | --- | --- |

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 non-MFIs of the participating Member States (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 foreseen 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 (floating rates), and loans with interest rates which are revisable at the MFI's discretion. |

PART 5

Reporting of revaluation adjustments for the compilation of transactions

To compile transactions in respect of the monetary aggregates and counterparts for the territory of the participating Member States, 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 6

Reporting requirements for loan securitisations and other loan transfers

1.   Definitions

For the purposes of this Part ‘derecognition’ means the removal of a loan or part thereof from the stocks reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I, including its removal due to the application of a derogation referred to in Article 8(6).

2.   General requirements

Data are reported in accordance with Article 7(2), qualified by those of Article 7(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 (when the securitisation is not yet completed because securities or similar instruments have not yet been issued to investors) are treated as if they were already securitised.

3.   Requirements for reporting net flows of loans securitised or otherwise transferred

| 3.1. | For the purposes of Article 5(1), 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 euro area MFI, and loans whose transfer occurs as a result of a merger, takeover or division involving the reporting agent, are not included in this calculation. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.

| 3.2. | The items referred to in Section 3.1 are allocated to Parts 1 and 2 of Table 5 as follows:






  — | disposals and acquisitions with an impact on the loan stocks reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I, i.e. disposals implying derecognition and acquisitions implying recognition or re-recognition, are allocated to Part 1, |
| --- | --- | --- |

3.2.

—

disposals and acquisitions with an impact on the loan stocks reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I, i.e. disposals implying derecognition and acquisitions implying recognition or re-recognition, are allocated to Part 1,

| — | disposals and acquisitions without an impact on the loan stocks reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I, i.e. disposals not implying derecognition and acquisitions not implying recognition or re-recognition, are allocated to Part 2. |
| --- | --- |

—

disposals and acquisitions without an impact on the loan stocks reported in accordance with Parts 2 and 3 of Annex I, i.e. disposals not implying derecognition and acquisitions not implying recognition or re-recognition, are allocated to Part 2.

| 3.3. | 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). |
| --- | --- |

3.3.

4.   Requirements for reporting the outstanding amounts of loans serviced in a securitisation

| 4.1. | The requirements referred to in Article 5(2) apply irrespective of whether the serviced loans or their respective servicing rights are recognised on the reporting agent's balance sheet. The data are reported in accordance with Part 3 of Table 5. |
| --- | --- |

4.1.

| 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. |
| --- | --- |

4.2.

| 4.3. | NCBs may collect the data referred to in Article 5(2), 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 4.1 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. |
| --- | --- |

4.3.

5.   Reporting requirements for MFIs applying the IAS 39 or similar national accounting rules

| 5.1. | MFIs applying the IAS 39 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 4 of Table 5. |
| --- | --- |

5.1.

| 5.2. | MFIs to which the derogation in Article 8(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 4 of Table 5. |

ANNEX II

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND DEFINITIONS

PART 1

Consolidation for statistical purposes within the same national territory

| 1. | For each participating Member State, the reporting population consists of MFIs included in the list of MFIs for statistical purposes and resident in the territory of the participating Member States (1). These are:






  — | institutions incorporated and located in that territory, including subsidiaries (2) of parent companies located outside that territory, and |
| --- | --- | --- |

1.

—

institutions incorporated and located in that territory, including subsidiaries (2) of parent companies located outside that territory, and

| — | branches of institutions that have their head office outside that territory. |
| --- | --- |

—

branches of institutions that have their head office outside that territory.

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 offices (registered or head office and/or branches) located within the same national territory. No consolidation for statistical purposes is permitted across national boundaries.






  (a) | If a parent company and its subsidiaries are MFIs located in the same national territory, the parent company is permitted to consolidate in its statistical returns the business of these subsidiaries, keeping however the business of credit institutions and other MFIs separate. |
| --- | --- | --- |

2.

(a)

If a parent company and its subsidiaries are MFIs located in the same national territory, the parent company is permitted to consolidate in its statistical returns the business of these subsidiaries, keeping however the business of credit institutions and other MFIs separate.

| (b) | If an institution has branches located within the territories of the other participating Member States, the registered or head office located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards all these branches as positions towards residents in the other participating Member States. Conversely, a branch located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards the registered or head office or towards other branches of the same institution located within the territories of the other participating Member States as positions towards residents in the other participating Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

If an institution has branches located within the territories of the other participating Member States, the registered or head office located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards all these branches as positions towards residents in the other participating Member States. Conversely, a branch located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards the registered or head office or towards other branches of the same institution located within the territories of the other participating Member States as positions towards residents in the other participating Member States.

| (c) | If an institution has branches located outside the territory of the participating Member States, the registered or head office located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards all these branches as positions towards residents of the rest of the world. Conversely, a branch located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards the registered or head office or towards other branches of the same institution located outside the participating Member States as positions towards residents of the rest of the world. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

If an institution has branches located outside the territory of the participating Member States, the registered or head office located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards all these branches as positions towards residents of the rest of the world. Conversely, a branch located in a given participating Member State considers the positions towards the registered or head office or towards other branches of the same institution located outside the participating Member States as positions towards residents of the rest of the world.

PART 2

Definitions of instrument categories

| 1. | This table provides a detailed standard description of the instrument categories which NCBs transpose into categories applicable at the national level in accordance with this Regulation (3). The definitions refer to the ESA 95. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Maturity at issue (original maturity) 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 period of notice 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 period of notice only when there is no agreed maturity. |

For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this item consists of funds lent by reporting agents to borrowers which are not evidenced by documents or are represented by a single document (even if it has become negotiable). It includes in particular assets in the form of deposits. NCBs may also require the full sector breakdown for this item. This item includes:

| (a) | loans granted to households and non-profit institutions serving households, broken down by:






  — | credit for consumption (loans granted for the purpose of mainly personal use in the consumption of goods and services). Credit for consumption granted to sole proprietors/unincorporated partnerships is comprised in this category, if the reporting MFI knows that the loan is predominantly used for personal consumption purposes |

| — | lending for house purchase (credit extended for the purpose of investing in houses for own use or rental, including building and refurbishments). It comprises loans secured on residential property that are used for the purpose of house purchase and other loans for house purchase made on a personal basis or secured against other forms of assets. Housing loans granted to sole proprietors/unincorporated partnerships are comprised in this category unless the reporting MFI knows that the house is predominantly used for business related purposes, in which case it is reported as ‘other lending of which sole proprietors/unincorporated partnerships’ |

| — | other (loans granted for purposes other than consumption and house purchase, such as business, debt consolidation, education, etc.). This category may include loans for consumption purposes to sole proprietors/unincorporated partnerships (see Annex II Part 3) if these are not reported under the category ‘credit for consumption’. Unless the conditions for reduced reporting apply, an ‘of which’ position is to be reported, separately identifying within this category the loans granted to sole proprietors (see Annex II, Part 3) |

Unless the conditions for reduced reporting apply, an ‘of which’ position is to be reported, separately identifying within this category the loans granted to sole proprietors (see Annex II, Part 3)

| (b) | credit card debt
  For the purpose of this Regulation, this category comprises credit granted to households or non-financial corporations either via delayed debit cards (i.e. cards providing convenience credit as defined below) or via credit cards (i.e. cards providing convenience credit and extended credit). Credit card debt is recorded on dedicated card accounts and therefore not evident on current or overdraft accounts. Convenience credit is defined as the credit granted at an interest rate of 0 % in the period between the payment transaction(s) effectuated with the card during one billing cycle and the date at which the debit balances from this specific billing cycle become due. Extended credit is defined as the credit granted after the due date(s) of the previous billing cycle(s) has/have passed, i.e. debit amounts on the card account that have not been settled when this was first possible, for which an interest rate or tiered interest rates usually greater than 0 % are charged. Often minimum instalments per month have to be made, to at least partially repay extended credit.
  The counterpart to these forms of credit is the entity liable to eventually repay the amounts outstanding in accordance with the contractual agreement, which coincides with the cardholder in the case of privately used cards, but not in the case of company cards |

The counterpart to these forms of credit is the entity liable to eventually repay the amounts outstanding in accordance with the contractual agreement, which coincides with the cardholder in the case of privately used cards, but not in the case of company cards

| (c) | revolving loans and overdrafts
  Revolving loans are loans that have all the following features: 1. the borrower may use or withdraw funds to a pre-approved credit limit without giving prior notice to the lender; 2. the amount of available credit can increase and decrease as funds are borrowed and repaid; 3. the credit may be used repeatedly; 4. there is no obligation of regular repayment of funds.
  Revolving loans include the amounts obtained through a line of credit and not yet repaid (outstanding amounts). A line of credit is an agreement between a lender and borrower that allows a borrower to take advances, during a defined period and up to a certain limit, and repay the advances at his discretion before a defined date. Amounts available through a line of credit that have not been withdrawn or have already been repaid are not to be considered under any BSI category. Overdrafts are debit balances on current accounts. Both revolving loans and overdrafts exclude loans provided through credit cards. The total amount owed by the borrower is to be reported, irrespective of whether it is within or beyond any limit agreed beforehand between the lender and the borrower with regard to size and/or maximum period of the loan |

| (d) | syndicated loans (single loan agreements, in which several institutions participate as lenders).
  Syndicated loans only cover cases where the borrower knows, from the loan contract, that the loan is made by several lenders. For statistical purposes, only amounts actually disbursed by lenders (rather than total credit lines) are regarded as syndicated loans. The syndicated loan is usually arranged and coordinated by one institution (often called the ‘lead manager) and is actually made by various participants in the syndicate. Participants, including the lead manager, all report their share of the loan vis-à-vis the borrower (i.e. not vis-à-vis the lead manager) in their balance sheet assets |

  Financial leases are contracts whereby the legal owner of a durable good (lessor) lends these assets to a third party (lessee) for most if not all of the economic lifetime of the assets, in exchange for instalments covering the cost of the good plus an imputed interest charge. The lessee is in fact assumed to receive all of the benefits to be derived from the use of the good and to incur the costs and risks associated with ownership. For statistical purposes, financial leases are treated as loans from the lessor to the lessee (enabling the lessee to purchase the durable good). The assets (durable goods) which have been lent to the lessee are not recorded anywhere on the MFI's balance sheet |

| (j) | subordinated debt in the form of deposits or loans
  Subordinated debt instruments provide a subsidiary claim on the issuing institution that can only be exercised after all claims with a higher status (e.g. deposits/loans) have been satisfied, giving them some of the characteristics of ‘shares and other equity’. For statistical purposes, subordinated debt is to be classified as either ‘loans’ or ‘securities other than shares’ according to the nature of the financial instrument. Where MFI holdings of all forms of subordinated debt are currently identified as a single figure for statistical purposes, this figure is to be classified under the item ‘securities other than shares’, on the grounds that subordinated debt is predominately constituted in the form of securities, rather than as loans |

Counterpart of cash paid out in exchange for securities purchased by reporting agents, or securities borrowing against cash collateral, see liability item 9.4

For the purpose of this reporting scheme, the breakdown of loans according to real estate collateral includes the total amount of outstanding loans which are collateralised in accordance with Annex VIII, Part 1, Sections 13-19 of Directive 2006/48/EC, with an outstanding loan/collateral ratio of 1 or below 1. If these rules are not applied by the reporting agent, the determination of the loans to be included in this breakdown is based on the approach chosen to comply with capital requirements.

The following item is not treated as a loan:

| — | loans granted on a trust basis
  Loans granted on a trust basis (trust loans'/'fiduciary loans) are loans made in the name of one party (the trustee) on behalf of a third party (the beneficiary). For statistical purposes, trust loans are not to be recorded on the balance sheet of the trustee where the risks and rewards of ownership of the funds remain with the beneficiary. The risks and rewards of ownership remain with the beneficiary where: (a) the beneficiary assumes the credit risk of the loan (i.e. the trustee is responsible only for the administrative management of the loan); or (b) the beneficiary's investment is guaranteed against loss, should the trustee go into liquidation (i.e. the trust loan is not part of the assets of the trustee that can be distributed in the event of bankruptcy) |

Remaining assets

The item ‘remaining assets’ is the residual item on the asset side of the balance sheet, defined as ‘assets not included elsewhere’. NCBs may require the reporting of specific sub-positions included in this item. Remaining assets may include:

| (d) | accrued interest receivable on loans
  In accordance with the general principle of accruals accounting, interest receivable on loans should be subject to on-balance-sheet recording as it accrues (i.e. on an accruals basis) rather than when it is actually received (i.e. on a cash basis). Accrued interest on loans is classified on a gross basis under the category ‘remaining assets’. Accrued interest is excluded from the loan to which it relates |

Description of main features

8.

Currency in circulation

The liability category ‘currency in circulation’ is defined as ‘banknotes and coins in circulation that are commonly used to make payments’. This category includes banknotes issued by the ECB and the NCBs. Coins in circulation are not a liability of MFIs in the participating Member States, but a liability of the central government. However, coins are part of the monetary aggregates and, by convention, this liability is to be entered under the category ‘currency in circulation’. The counterpart to this liability is to be included within ‘remaining assets’

| 9. | Deposits |
| --- | --- |

9.

Deposits

Amounts (shares, deposits or other), which are owed to creditors by reporting agents and which comply with the features described in Annex I, Part 1, Section 1, except those arising from the issue of negotiable securities or MMF shares/units. For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this category is broken down into overnight deposits, deposits with agreed maturity, deposits redeemable at notice and repurchase agreements

| (a) | deposits and loans
  ‘Deposits’ also cover ‘loans’ as liabilities of MFIs. In conceptual terms, loans represent amounts received by MFIs that are not structured in the form of ‘deposits’. The ESA 95 distinguishes between ‘loans’ and ‘deposits’ on the basis of the party that takes the initiative (if this is the borrower, then it constitutes a loan, but if this is the lender, then it constitutes a deposit). Within the reporting scheme, ‘loans’ are not recognised as a separate category on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. Instead, balances that are considered as ‘loans’ are to be classified indistinguishably under the item ‘deposit liabilities’, unless they are represented by negotiable instruments. This is in line with the definition of ‘deposit liabilities’ above. Loans to MFIs that are classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ are to be broken down in accordance with the requirements of the reporting scheme (i.e. by sector, instrument, currency and maturity); syndicated loans received by MFIs fall under this category |

| (b) | non-negotiable debt instruments
  Non-negotiable debt instruments issued by reporting agents are generally to be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’. Instruments may be referred to as being ‘non-negotiable’ in the sense that there are restrictions on the transfer of legal ownership of the instrument which means that they cannot be marketed or, although technically negotiable, cannot be traded owing to the absence of an organised market. Non-negotiable instruments issued by reporting agents that subsequently become negotiable and that can be traded on secondary markets should be reclassified as ‘debt securities’ |

Instruments may be referred to as being ‘non-negotiable’ in the sense that there are restrictions on the transfer of legal ownership of the instrument which means that they cannot be marketed or, although technically negotiable, cannot be traded owing to the absence of an organised market. Non-negotiable instruments issued by reporting agents that subsequently become negotiable and that can be traded on secondary markets should be reclassified as ‘debt securities’

| (c) | margin deposits
  Margin deposits (margins) made under derivative contracts should be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ where they represent cash collateral deposited with MFIs and where they remain in the ownership of the depositor and are repayable to the depositor when the contract is closed out. On the basis of current market practice, it is also suggested that margins received by the reporting agent should only be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ to the extent that the MFI is provided with funds that are freely available for on-lending. Where a part of the margin received by the MFI has to be passed to another derivatives market participant (e.g. the clearing house), only that part which remains at the disposal of the MFI should in principle be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’. The complexities of current market practice may make it difficult to identify those margins that are truly repayable, because different types of margin are placed indistinguishably within the same account, or those margins that provide the MFI with resources for on lending. In these cases, it is acceptable to classify these margins under ‘remaining liabilities’ or as ‘deposit liabilities’; according to national practice ‘earmarked balances related to e.g. leasing contracts’ are classified as deposit liabilities under ‘deposits with agreed maturity’ or ‘deposits redeemable at notice’ depending on the maturity/provisions of the underlying contract. Funds (deposits) received on a trust basis are not recorded on the MFI statistical balance sheet (see ‘loans granted on a trust basis’ under category 2) |

margin deposits

Margin deposits (margins) made under derivative contracts should be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ where they represent cash collateral deposited with MFIs and where they remain in the ownership of the depositor and are repayable to the depositor when the contract is closed out. On the basis of current market practice, it is also suggested that margins received by the reporting agent should only be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ to the extent that the MFI is provided with funds that are freely available for on-lending.

Funds (deposits) received on a trust basis are not recorded on the MFI statistical balance sheet (see ‘loans granted on a trust basis’ under category 2)

| (d) | shares issued by MFIs
  Shares issued by MFIs are classified as deposits instead of as capital and reserves if: (1) there is a debtor-creditor economic relationship between the issuing MFI and the holder (regardless of any property rights in these shares); and (2) the shares can be converted into currency or redeemed without significant restrictions or penalties. A notice period is not considered to be a significant restriction. In addition, such shares must comply with the following conditions:






  — | the relevant national regulatory provisions provide no unconditional right to the issuing MFI to refuse redemption of its shares |

A notice period is not considered to be a significant restriction. In addition, such shares must comply with the following conditions:

—

the shares are ‘value certain’, i.e. under normal circumstances they will be paid out at their nominal value in the event of redemption and

| — | in the event of the MFI's insolvency, the holders of its shares are legally subject neither to the obligation to cover outstanding liabilities in addition to the nominal value of the shares (i.e. the shareholders' participation in the subscribed capital) nor to any other onerous supplementary obligations. The subordination of shares to any other instrument issued by the MFI does not qualify as an onerous supplementary obligation |

—

in the event of the MFI's insolvency, the holders of its shares are legally subject neither to the obligation to cover outstanding liabilities in addition to the nominal value of the shares (i.e. the shareholders' participation in the subscribed capital) nor to any other onerous supplementary obligations. The subordination of shares to any other instrument issued by the MFI does not qualify as an onerous supplementary obligation

The notice periods for the conversion of such shares into currency are used in order to classify these shares according to the breakdown by notice period within the instrument category ‘deposits’. These notice periods also apply when determining the reserve ratio under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). Any earmarked shares relating to loans made by the MFI should be classified as deposit liabilities, with the same original maturity breakdown as the underlying loan, i.e. as ‘deposits with agreed maturity’ or ‘deposits redeemable at notice’, depending on the maturity provisions of the underlying loan contract

When held by MFIs, such shares issued by MFIs and classified as deposits instead of capital and reserves are classified by the holding MFI as loans on the asset side of its balance sheet

Deposits with agreed maturity

Non-transferable deposits which cannot be converted into currency before an agreed fixed term or that can only be converted into currency before that agreed term provided that the holder is charged some kind of penalty. This item also includes administratively regulated savings deposits where the maturity related criterion is not relevant (classified in the maturity band ‘over two years’). Financial products with roll-over provisions must be classified according to the earliest maturity. Although deposits with agreed maturity may feature the possibility of earlier redemption after prior notification, or may be redeemable on demand subject to certain penalties, these features are not considered to be relevant for classification purposes

| --- | --- |

9.4.

Repos

Counterpart of cash received in exchange for securities sold by reporting agents at a given price under a firm commitment to repurchase the same (or similar) securities at a fixed price on a specified future date. Amounts received by reporting agents in exchange for securities transferred to a third party (temporary acquirer) are to be classified under ‘repurchase agreements’ where there is a firm commitment to reverse the operation and not merely an option to do so. This implies that reporting agents retain all risks and rewards of the underlying securities during the operation.

The following variants of repo-type operations are all classified under ‘repurchase agreements’:

| — | amounts received in exchange for securities temporarily transferred to a third party in the form of securities lending against cash collateral |
| --- | --- |

—

amounts received in exchange for securities temporarily transferred to a third party in the form of securities lending against cash collateral

—

amounts received in exchange for securities temporarily transferred to a third party in the form of a sale/buy-back agreement

Debt securities issued

Securities other than equity issued by reporting agents, which are instruments usually negotiable and traded on secondary markets or which can be offset on the market and which do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. This item includes:

| (c) | Subordinated debt issued by MFIs is to be treated in the same way as other debt incurred by MFIs for the purposes of money and banking statistics. Hence, subordinated debt issued in the form of securities is to be classified as ‘debt securities issued’, whereas subordinated debt issued by MFIs in the form of deposits or loans is to be classified as ‘deposit liabilities’. Where all subordinated debt issued by MFIs is identified as a single amount for statistical purposes, this figure is to be classified under the item ‘debt securities issued’, on the grounds that subordinated debt is predominately constituted in the form of securities rather than as loans. Subordinated debt should not be classified under the liability item ‘capital and reserves’ |

  In accordance with the general principle of accruals accounting, interest payable on deposits is subject to on-balance-sheet recording as it accrues (i.e. on an accruals basis) rather than when it is actually paid (i.e. on a cash basis). Accrued interest on deposits is classified on a gross basis under the category ‘remaining liabilities’. Accrued interest is excluded from the deposit to which it relates |

| (h) | margin payments made under derivative contracts
  Margin payments (margins) made under derivatives contracts are normally classified as ‘deposit liabilities’ (see category 9). The complexities of current market practice may make it difficult to identify those margins that are truly repayable, because different types of margin are placed indistinguishably within the same account, or those margins that provide the MFI with resources for on-lending. In these cases, it is acceptable to classify these margins under ‘remaining liabilities’ or as ‘deposit liabilities’, according to national practice |

PART 3

Definitions of sectors

The ESA 95 provides the standard for the sector classification. Counterparties located in the territory of the participating Member States are identified according to their sector in accordance with the list of MFIs for statistical purposes and the guidance for the statistical classification of counterparties provided in the ECB's Sector Manual. Banking institutions located outside the Member States are referred to as ‘banks’ rather than as MFIs. Similarly, the term ‘non-MFI’ refers only to the Member States; for other countries the term ‘non-banks’ is used.

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 ECB. Cells in thin print are reported solely by credit institutions subject to reserve requirements. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | The column ‘of which credit institutions subject to reserve requirements, ECB and 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 ESCB owing to the application of the lump-sum allowance are also covered under this column. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 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 no bold type positions 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 no bold type positions of Table 1 in Annex I are affected. |

| 4. | Small credit institutions in the ‘tail’ report, as a minimum, quarterly data necessary to calculate the reserve base in accordance with the table below. |

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 ECB's Executive Board may allow credit institutions subject to minimum reserve requirements to carry out aggregated statistical reporting as a group within a single national territory. All institutions concerned are included separately in the ECB's list of MFIs. |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

| 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. |
| --- | --- |

1.2.

| 1.3. | If the group of credit institutions as a whole falls under the ‘tail’, 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. |
| --- | --- |

1.3.

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). |
| --- | --- |

2.1.

| 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). |
| --- | --- |

2.2.

| 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. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.

| 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. |
