REGULATION (EU) 2016/867 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 18 May 2016

on the collection of granular credit and credit risk data (ECB/2016/13)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) and (5) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1 and 34.1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 6(4) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Commission (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | Granular credit and credit risk data (hereinafter ‘credit data’) comprise detailed and individual information about instruments giving rise to credit risk for deposit-taking corporations, financial corporations other than deposit-taking corporations or asset management vehicles, which are all engaged in lending on a significant scale. Such detailed information is necessary for the performance of the tasks of the Eurosystem, the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and the European Systemic Risk Board, including monetary policy analysis and monetary policy operations, risk management, financial stability surveillance and macroprudential policy and research. These data will also be useful for banking supervision purposes in the context of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). |

These data will also be useful for banking supervision purposes in the context of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).

| (2) | Article 5.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) specifies that the European Central Bank (ECB), assisted by the national central banks (NCBs) of the ESCB, collects the necessary statistical information, either from the competent national authorities or directly from economic agents, in order to carry out the tasks of the ESCB. Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires the ECB to specify the actual reporting population within the limits of the reference reporting population, and entitles it to fully or partly exempt specific classes of reporting agents from its statistical reporting requirements. |

Article 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.

| (3) | Credit data will substantially contribute to improving existing and developing new ESCB statistics, since it provides important breakdowns and details not available from currently used data sources, such as information on the structure and risk patterns of credit granted by the financial sector. For example, credit data will significantly contribute to increasing the quality of statistics on: (a) loans according to the size of corporations; a key feature for assessing and monitoring the provision of credit to small and medium-sized enterprises; (b) credit lines broken down by counterparty sector; (c) loans to non-financial corporations broken down by economic activity; (d) loans backed by real estate collateral; and (e) cross-border loans and related income as part of the balance of payments statistics of Member States whose currency is the euro. |

| (4) | The availability of credit data will improve the usability of the micro-level information currently collected on securities issues and holdings statistics, and contribute to monitoring and fostering financial integration and stability in the Union. Finally, credit data relating to branches that are resident outside the euro area, and whose head offices are resident in a reporting Member State are important for the performance of ESCB tasks, in particular for monetary policy analysis and financial stability tasks. In addition, the data can support macroprudential supervision tasks such as financial stability analyses, risk assessments and stress testing. Article 8(1)(d) and (4a) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 now specifically allow the use of statistical data collected under Article 5 of the Statute of the ESCB for supervisory purposes. |

| (5) | A comprehensive set of harmonised analytical credit data should minimise the reporting burden by increasing the stability of the reporting requirements over time. This is important because incorporating changes into the highly automated data processing systems of reporting agents can be very costly. The harmonised set of credit data will also provide greater detail, thus minimising the need for any additional requests addressed to reporting agents. |

| (6) | Decision ECB/2014/6 (3) sets out the procedure for developing a long-term framework for the collection of granular credit data based on harmonised ECB statistical reporting requirements. It aims to ensure the establishment of: (a) national granular credit datasets operated by all Eurosystem NCBs in accordance with common minimum standards; and (b) a common granular analytical credit database (hereinafter ‘AnaCredit’), shared between the Eurosystem members and comprising input data from all Member States whose currency is the euro. |

| (7) | Recommendation ECB/2014/7 (4) encourages NCBs of Member States whose currency is not the euro, but who are preparing to join the long-term framework, to apply the provisions of Decision ECB/2014/6. AnaCredit should be open, on a voluntary basis, to Member States outside the euro area, in particular those participating in the SSM, in order to broaden its geographical and data scope, and increase harmonisation across the Union. |

| (8) | While the preparatory measures under Decision ECB/2014/6 aimed to define ‘a core group of harmonised granular credit data sets that are to be provided to the ECB by the NCBs in the long term’, the outcome of the merits and costs procedure showed very strong user requirements underlining the need not just for a ‘core group of data sets’, but also for a comprehensive list of data attributes and measures that characterise the instruments that generate credit risk for the reporting population. In addition, the resulting improved harmonisation should increase the comparability of the data across countries and across institutions, thereby ensuring a higher data quality for analysis. |

| (9) | AnaCredit aims to provide, in combination with other statistical frameworks collecting granular information, an analytical view of reporting agents' credit risk regardless of the financial instrument, type of exposure or accounting classification. In this respect, the requirements laid down in this Regulation aim to ensure that reporting agents report a common set of harmonised information to NCBs. |

In this respect, the requirements laid down in this Regulation aim to ensure that reporting agents report a common set of harmonised information to NCBs.

| (10) | AnaCredit should be established in stages, since the significant heterogeneity of the current credit data collection across participating countries can only be gradually harmonised. This step-by-step approach also takes into account the time needed for the reporting agents to comply with the various data requirements. Overall, the scope and content of the data to be collected during the different stages should be defined as early as possible, in order for all reporting agents to prepare for the use of a harmonised set of concepts and definitions. Hence, the Governing Council will take its decision on each subsequent stage at least two years prior to its implementation. With a view to minimising the costs and the workload for reporting agents, the provision of information on housing loans on the basis of sampling techniques will be explored at a subsequent stage. |

| (11) | While one of AnaCredit's key long-term objectives is to harmonise reporting requirements and implementation practices, the heterogeneity of current data collection practices requires the preservation of NCB discretion in certain areas, for example with regard to NCB decisions on derogations for small resident reporting agents. These areas of NCB discretion should be reassessed at each future stage in order to determine whether further harmonisation across participating countries can be achieved. |

These areas of NCB discretion should be reassessed at each future stage in order to determine whether further harmonisation across participating countries can be achieved.

| (12) | In terms of scope, the first stage of reporting under AnaCredit should include credit granted by credit institutions to legal entities. Deposit-taking corporations other than credit institutions, asset management vehicles and other financial corporations, all engaged in lending, as well as foreign subsidiaries of these entities, may be included in the actual reporting population in a subsequent stage. As regards instruments, the scope of granular reporting may be extended to derivatives, other accounts receivable, off-balance-sheet items (such as financial guarantees) and credit extended to persons other than legal persons, including to sole proprietors. No personal data, as defined by applicable data protection rules, should be collected in the first stage, including for multi-debtor credits involving natural persons as debtors, or when natural persons are affiliated to instruments reported to AnaCredit. Should the scope of reporting be extended to include such personal data in subsequent stages, the protection of the rights of natural persons with regard to the collection and processing of their personal data should be ensured. Moreover, subsequent stages may incorporate reporting requirements on a consolidated basis. Any extension of the reporting population should take into account the NCBs' right to grant derogations to small reporting agents, and should be adopted at least two years prior to its introduction to allow sufficient time for implementation by reporting agents and NCBs. |

| (13) | In preparing for future stages, an extension of the reporting population as well as an introduction of additional reporting requirements should be based on an analysis by the Statistics Committee of the ESCB (hereinafter the ‘STC’), taking into account the users' needs, reporting agents' and NCBs' estimated costs, market developments and the experience gained in preparing for the first stage. |

| (14) | The reporting obligations on credit data should be defined taking into account the principle of proportionality, to avoid imposing an undue reporting burden in particular on small reporting agents with limited total credit exposure. For the same reason, NCBs should have the right to grant derogations to small reporting agents. |

| (15) | With a view to ensuring efficient reporting and adequate interoperability with other existing or new reporting frameworks, NCBs should be allowed to collect the information to be transmitted to the ECB as a part of a broader national reporting framework and to extend the reporting of credit data beyond the scope outlined in this Regulation, for their own statutory purposes, in line with relevant national law. |

| (16) | To contribute to AnaCredit, NCBs should be allowed to use their own databases, data received from reporting agents and any other sources, including relevant reference databases. NCBs should have the discretion to decide whether they enter into cooperation arrangements with national statistical institutes (NSIs), or national competent authorities (NCAs) for the supervision of reporting agents, or any other national authorities, as long as the data provided meet the quality standards set out in this Regulation. Due to the different national arrangements currently in place, and in order to minimise the reporting burden under this Regulation, effective and efficient collaboration with NSIs, NCAs and other national authorities is encouraged. |

| (18) | NCBs should be allowed to use the multi-purpose shared analytical granular credit data set to establish feedback loops with reporting agents or to enrich existing feedback loops and other information services from CCRs to reporting agents. These feedback loops will enhance the ESCB's contribution to the stability of the financial system in line with its statutory mandate according to Article 127(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The feedback loops will provide reporting agents with a broader basis for their creditworthiness assessments, in particular with regard to cross-border debtors, and enable the harmonisation of definitions and data attributes throughout their lending practices. They will improve credit institutions' and other lenders' credit risk management. In particular, they will support credit institutions in avoiding undue reliance on external credit ratings for assessing creditworthiness. A feedback loop should follow best practices and ensure minimum data quality standards. The subset of analytical credit data that may be shared between NCBs, for the purposes of the feedback loops, should be defined taking into account the specific confidentiality level of the relevant data attributes and the corresponding confidentiality protection requirements, as well as the time needed for implementation. Further details on the scope and implementation of the feedback loops may be laid down in a separate legal act and NCBs may enter into Memoranda of Understanding, based on the applicable legal frameworks, regarding their respective cooperation in the feedback loops. While some NCBs that operate CCRs already share granular cross-border credit and credit risk data with each other on a bilateral basis (5), others may, for legal reasons, require a certain time period to implement cross-border information sharing in order to pass such data on to financial institutions reporting to them. The set-up and implementation of feedback loops should take into account national legal provisions on the handling of confidential statistical information. |

Article 8

General requirements for enhanced reporting

1.   Reporting agents and their foreign branches that are not resident in a reporting Member State shall set up the necessary organisational structure and appropriate internal control mechanisms to ensure that the data that shall be reported on an individual basis under this Regulation, in accordance with Article 6, are duly processed and forwarded.

2.   Foreign branches that are not resident in a reporting Member State are not reporting agents under this Regulation. Reporting agents shall ensure that such foreign branches implement arrangements, processes and mechanisms to ensure the proper implementation of the reporting requirements on an individual basis.

3.   The statistical reporting requirements under this Regulation are without prejudice to any other current or future reporting requirements with regard to credit data in accordance with national law or other reporting frameworks.

4.   NCBs may collect the information to be transmitted to the ECB as a part of a broader national reporting framework that complies with relevant Union or national law. These broader reporting frameworks may include information that serves other purposes besides statistical purposes, such as supervisory needs.

5.   NCBs may obtain credit data from other sources.

6.   The minimum requirements for harmonisation, completeness, level of detail and identification of counterparties, of credit data are set out in the templates in Annex I.

Article 9

Identification of counterparties

1.   For the purpose of reporting pursuant to this Regulation, reporting agents and NCBs shall identify counterparties using:

| (a) | an LEI, where such an identifier has been assigned; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

an LEI, where such an identifier has been assigned; or

| --- | --- |

(b)

if no LEI has been assigned, a national identifier, as further detailed in Annex IV.

2.   NCBs may obtain any information related to the identification of counterparties as defined in Annex III through direct reporting by the reporting agents or through Memoranda of Understanding or similar arrangements with NSIs, NCAs and other national authorities. NCBs shall define the unique identifiers that are required for the proper identification of counterparties based on the scope of the information outlined in Annex III.

Article 10

Access to and use of credit data

1.   The ECB and NCBs shall use credit data reported under this Regulation to the extent and for the purposes defined in Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. Such data may be used, in particular, to establish and maintain a feedback loop in accordance with Article 11.

2.   This Regulation is without prejudice to existing or future uses of credit data that are permitted or required under Union or national law, or Memoranda of Understanding, including cross-border exchanges.

Article 11

Feedback loop to reporting agents

1.   NCBs have the right to provide credit data, including data collected by another NCB, to reporting agents by establishing or enhancing feedback loops or other information services from CCRs to reporting agents. They may provide a subset of the credit data collected under this Regulation, in line with best practices and to the extent allowed by the applicable legal confidentiality regime. Reporting agents may use the data exclusively for managing credit risk and improving the quality of credit information available to them with regard to existing or prospective instruments. They shall not share the data with other parties, unless data sharing with service providers is strictly necessary for these purposes, and the data are used only in relation to the reporting agent and the reporting agent ensures appropriate confidentiality protection under a contractual agreement that excludes any other use of the data, and provides for the anonymisation of the data wherever possible and deletion of the data as soon as the purpose for which they have been shared has been achieved. Any further data transmission by the service provider, and any data sharing with commercial providers of credit data is forbidden.

2.   NCBs shall define the scope of data to be provided, the procedure for providing data access and any additional restrictions on the use of such data, taking into account the national legal framework and any other constraints linked to the confidential nature of the information.

3.   This Article does not give reporting agents any right to a feedback loop, or to receiving specific information from a feedback loop or other information services from CCRs to reporting agents.

4.   NCBs have the right to deny access on a temporary basis for a reporting agent to specific credit data from a feedback loop where the reporting agent has not complied with its own statistical reporting obligations under this Regulation, in particular with regard to data quality and accuracy, and in cases where a reporting agent has not complied with its obligations set out in paragraph 1.

5.   NCBs have the right to deny access to other NCBs to the granular credit data that they collect for the purposes of a feedback loop. NCBs have the right to require reciprocity as regards provision of granular credit data with any NCB that requests data from another NCB for the purposes of a feedback loop. Information on an institutional unit of a reporting agent established in a reporting Member State may always be used for feedback loops by the relevant NCB of the reporting agent, irrespective of where the institutional unit is resident.

Article 12

Access by legal entities

1.   Legal entities or parts of legal entities about which credit data have been reported are entitled to access such data at the relevant NCB. Furthermore, legal entities may request that reporting agents rectify incorrect data that relate to them.

2.   NCBs may deny a legal entity or parts of legal entities access to the credit data reported in relation to them, only to the extent that:

| (a) | such access would violate the legitimate confidentiality interests of the reporting agent, for example with regard to internal credit risk assessments, or of third parties, in particular, the legal entities about which credit data has been reported; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

such access would violate the legitimate confidentiality interests of the reporting agent, for example with regard to internal credit risk assessments, or of third parties, in particular, the legal entities about which credit data has been reported; or

| (b) | the data has not been used to establish or enhance a feedback loop according to Article 11, and they are not required to grant access to such data under any other Union or national law. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the data has not been used to establish or enhance a feedback loop according to Article 11, and they are not required to grant access to such data under any other Union or national law.

Article 13

Timeliness

1.   Reporting agents shall report credit data as recorded on the following reporting reference dates:

| (a) | for monthly transmissions, on the last day of each month; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

for monthly transmissions, on the last day of each month;

| (b) | for quarterly transmissions, on the last day of March, June, September and December. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

for quarterly transmissions, on the last day of March, June, September and December.

2.   NCBs shall decide when and how often they shall receive data from reporting agents in order to meet their reporting deadlines to the ECB, and shall inform the reporting agents accordingly.

3.   NCBs shall inform reporting agents about the reporting obligations at least 18 months before the first reporting reference date for which such agents shall report data pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to any other reporting requirements in accordance with national law or other reporting frameworks.

4.   For observed agents that are resident in a reporting Member State, NCBs shall transmit monthly credit data to the ECB by close of business on the 30th working day following the end of the month to which the data relate.

5.   For observed agents that are resident in a reporting Member State, NCBs shall transmit quarterly credit data to the ECB by close of business on the 15th working day following the remittance dates defined in Article 3(1)(b) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 (11).

6.   For observed agents that are foreign branches not resident in a reporting Member State, NCBs shall transmit monthly credit data to the ECB by close of business on the 35th working day following the end of the month to which the data relate.

7.   For observed agents that are foreign branches not resident in a reporting Member State, NCBs shall transmit quarterly credit data to the ECB by close of business on the 20th working day following the remittance dates defined in Article 3(1)(b) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014.

8.   NCBs shall transmit to the ECB the counterparty reference data for all counterparties in accordance with Section 1 of Template 1 of Annex I together with the first transmission of credit data. When a change occurs, NCBs shall update the data by no later than the transmission of credit data that is relevant for the first reporting reference date on or before which the change came into effect. Unless NCBs inform reporting agents that they have obtained updated counterparty reference data from other sources, reporting agents shall update such data by informing NCBs of any changes at the time requested by the relevant NCB, but no later than the date on which credit data is reported to the relevant NCB for the first reporting reference date following the date on which the change came into effect.

Article 14

Minimum common standards and national reporting arrangements

1.   Reporting agents shall comply with the statistical reporting requirements to which they are subject, in accordance with the minimum common standards for transmission, accuracy, accurate identification of counterparties and compliance with concepts and revisions as specified in Annex V.

2.   NCBs shall define and implement the reporting arrangements to be followed by the reporting agents in accordance with this Regulation and with their national legal frameworks to the extent that they do not conflict with the provisions of this Regulation. NCBs shall ensure that these reporting arrangements: (a) provide the required statistical information; and (b) allow verification of the fact that the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex V have been fulfilled.

3.   The NCBs may use information obtained from any other sources, in line with Article 8(5), for their transmission of credit data to the ECB, to the extent that the information meets the quality and timeliness standards that apply according to this Regulation to data collected from reporting agents. In particular, the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy and compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex V shall be fulfilled.

Article 15

Mergers, divisions and reorganisations

1.   In the event of a merger, division or reorganisation that could affect the fulfilment of their statistical obligations, the reporting agents concerned shall inform the relevant NCB of the procedures that are planned for fulfilling the statistical reporting requirements set out in this Regulation, as soon as the intention to implement the merger, division or reorganisation has been published and before it takes effect.

2.   Without prejudice to the obligations set out in the previous paragraph, the relevant NCB may authorise the acquiring institution to fulfil its statistical reporting obligation through temporary procedures. This exemption from normal reporting procedures shall last no longer than six months from the date on which the merger, division or reorganisation took place. This exemption shall be without prejudice to the obligation for the acquiring institution to fulfil its reporting obligations in accordance with this Regulation.

Article 16

Derogations and reduced reporting frequency

1.   In order to ensure the proportionality of the reporting obligations established in this Regulation, the relevant NCB may grant derogations to small reporting agents, provided that the combined contribution of all reporting agents that are granted a derogation to the total outstanding amount of loans reported pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/33) (12) by all reporting agents resident in the reporting Member State does not exceed 2 %. The derogations may cover some or all reporting requirements defined in this Regulation.

2.   In order to support the implementation of the reporting requirements, the relevant NCB may allow small reporting agents to report credit data relating to reporting reference dates prior to 1 January 2021 on a quarterly instead of a monthly basis, provided that the combined contribution of all agents reporting on a quarterly basis to the total outstanding amount of loans reported pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 by all reporting agents resident in the reporting Member State does not exceed 4 %, without prejudice to their reporting credit data under any other legal framework.

3.   NCBs may grant derogations to reporting agents to the extent that the NCBs obtain data from other sources of the quality and timeliness required according to Article 14(3).

4.   NCBs shall inform the following reporting agents of their reporting obligations in accordance with Article 13(3):

| (a) | reporting agents that have been granted a derogation in line with paragraph 1; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

reporting agents that have been granted a derogation in line with paragraph 1;

| --- | --- |

(c)

reporting agents that no longer fulfil the conditions for a derogation or reduced reporting frequency in line with paragraph (1) or (2).

Article 17

Verification and compulsory collection and minimum quality standards

The NCBs shall verify and, to the extent necessary, carry out the compulsory collection of the information that 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 a reporting agent does not fulfil the minimum standards for transmission, accuracy, compliance with concepts and revisions specified in Annex V.

Article 18

Sanctions

The ECB may impose sanctions on reporting agents who fail to comply with the reporting obligations of this Regulation in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. Reporting agents shall not be subject to sanctions insofar as they demonstrate that they are prevented from reporting the required information by the national law of a country where the branch on which they are required to report information is resident. The ECB's power to impose sanctions for non-compliance with the reporting obligations of this Regulation is independent of an NCB's right to sanction, in line with its national law, non-compliance with statistical or other reporting obligations that apply to reporting agents under the respective national legal framework in line with Article 8(3).

Article 19

Transitional provision

NCBs may postpone the first transmission to the ECB of credit data relating to reporting reference dates prior to 1 February 2019 provided that they transmit such data to the ECB no later than 31 March 2019.

Article 20

Simplified amendment procedure

Taking account of the views of the STC, the Executive Board may make technical amendments to the annexes to this Regulation, provided that such amendments neither change the underlying conceptual framework nor affect the reporting burden for the reporting agents. The Executive Board shall inform the Governing Council of any such amendment without undue delay.

Article 21

Final provisions

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Official Journal of the European Union

It shall apply from 31 December 2017.

ANNEX I

Data to report and templates

1.   The data to be reported under this Regulation refers to multiple elements, e.g. creditors, debtors, instruments, protection, etc. that are interconnected. For example, one debtor may be granted multiple loans or a single protection might secure multiple instruments. A data set for reporting the specific information for each of these elements is set out in this Annex.

2.   The information for each data set refers to a single element, e.g. instrument, or to the combination of several elements, e.g. ‘instrument-protection’, thereby establishing the level of granularity to be provided for each data set. The data sets are organised into two templates.

3.   The reporting requirements for the data attributes included in each template are set out in Annexes II and III.

4.   The data attributes included in each template are defined in Annex IV.

5.   Amounts are reported in units of euro. Foreign currency amounts should be converted into euro at the respective European Central Bank (ECB) euro foreign exchange reference rates, i.e. the mid-rate on the reporting reference date.

Template 1

1.   Counterparty reference data

NCBs may require reporting agents to use counterparty identifiers as specified by the relevant NCB. |
| --- | --- |

1.2

| 1.3 | The counterparties to be registered are all institutional units which are legal entities or form part of legal entities and are linked to instruments reported pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 or provide protection to secure such instruments. Specifically, the counterparties to be registered are: (a) creditors; (b) debtors; (c) protection providers; (d) originators; (e) servicers; (f) head offices of undertakings; (g) immediate parent undertakings and (h) ultimate parent undertakings. A single entity may be the counterparty in relation to several instruments or take different roles as a counterparty for the same instrument. However, each counterparty should only be registered once. |

1.5

| 1.6 | In the case of natural persons being affiliated with instruments reported to AnaCredit, no record for the natural persons must be reported. |
| --- | --- |

1.6

| 1.7 | The records must be reported no later than the monthly transmission of credit data relevant for the reporting reference date on which the counterparty entered into a contract registered in AnaCredit. If a change takes place, the records must be updated no later than the monthly transmission of credit data for the reporting reference date on which the change came into effect. |
| --- | --- |

1.7

2.   Instrument data

| 2.1 | The level of granularity for the instrument data is the instrument. Each record is uniquely identified by the combination of the following data attributes: (a) reporting agent identifier; (b) observed agent identifier; (c) contract identifier; and (d) instrument identifier. |
| --- | --- |

2.1

| 2.2 | Each contract identifier must be unique for each contract that generates credit risk for the same observed agent. This identifier must not be reused at any point in time to identify a different contract with the same observed agent. Each instrument identifier must be unique for each contract, i.e. all instruments embedded in a single contract are to be assigned a different instrument identifier, and these must not be reused at any point in time to identify a different instrument within the contract. |
| --- | --- |

2.2

| 2.3 | The instrument data registers any instrument that exists under a contract between the observed agent and the counterparties, including all instruments between institutional units within the same legal entity. |
| --- | --- |

2.3

| 2.4 | The instrument data describes the features of the instrument, which rarely change over time. |
| --- | --- |

2.4

| 2.5 | The records must be reported no later than the monthly transmission of credit data relevant for the reporting reference date on which the instrument is registered in AnaCredit.
