REGULATION (EC) No 25/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 19 December 2008

concerning the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (Recast)

(ECB/2008/32)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

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 to Article 5(1) and Article 6(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank (2), and in particular to Article 6(4) thereof,

Having regard to Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (recast) (3),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (4),

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 of the European Central Bank of 22 November 2001 concerning the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (ECB/2001/13) (5) has been significantly amended on several occasions. Since further amendments to this Regulation are now required, it should be recast in the interests of clarity and transparency.

(2) The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) requires, for the fulfilment of its tasks, the production of the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions (MFI) sector. The principal purpose thereof is to provide the European Central Bank (ECB) with a comprehensive statistical picture of monetary developments in the participating Member States, which are viewed as one economic territory. These statistics cover aggregate financial assets and liabilities, in terms of stocks and transactions, based on a complete and homogeneous MFI sector and reporting population, and are produced on a regular basis. Sufficiently detailed statistical data are also necessary to guarantee the continued analytical usefulness of the calculated monetary aggregates and counterparts covering this territory.

(3) The ECB is required, in accordance with the EC Treaty and under the conditions laid down in the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (the ESCB Statute), to make regulations to the extent necessary to implement the ESCB's tasks as defined in the ESCB Statute and in some cases as laid down in the provisions adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 107(6) of the Treaty.

(4) Article 5.1 of the ESCB Statute requires the ECB, assisted by the national central banks (NCBs), to collect the necessary statistical information either from the competent national authorities or directly from economic agents in order to undertake the ESCB's tasks. Article 5.2 of the ESCB Statute stipulates that the NCBs shall carry out, to the extent possible, the tasks described in Article 5.1.

(5) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires the ECB to specify the actual reporting population within the limits of the reference reporting population and entitles it to fully or partly exempt specific classes of reporting agents from its statistical reporting requirements. Article 6(4) provides that the ECB may adopt regulations specifying the conditions under which the right to verify or to carry out the compulsory collection of statistical information may be exercised.

(6) Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 requires Member States to organise themselves in the field of statistics and to cooperate fully with the ESCB in order to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising from Article 5 of the ESCB Statute.

(7) It may be appropriate for NCBs to collect from the actual reporting population the statistical information necessary to fulfil the ECB's statistical requirements as part of a broader statistical reporting framework which the NCBs establish under their own responsibility in accordance with Community or national law or established practice and which also serves other statistical purposes, provided that the fulfilment of the ECB's statistical requirements is not jeopardised. This may also reduce the reporting burden. In order to foster transparency, it is appropriate, in these cases, to inform the reporting agents that data are collected to fulfil other statistical purposes. In specific cases, the ECB may rely on statistical information collected for such other purposes to fulfil its requirements.

(8) The statistical requirements are most detailed where the counterparties are part of the money-holding sector. Detailed data are required on: (a) deposit liabilities by subsector and maturity classified further by currency to permit a closer analysis of the developments of the foreign currency components included in M3 and to facilitate investigations concerning the degree of substitutability between foreign currency and euro-denominated components of M3; (b) loans by subsector, maturity, purpose, interest rate reset and currency, as this information is considered essential for monetary analysis purposes; (c) positions vis-à-vis other MFIs in so far as this is necessary to allow for netting of inter-MFI balances or to calculate the reserve base; (d) positions vis-à-vis non-euro area residents (rest of the world) for ‘deposits over two years agreed maturity’, ‘deposits redeemable at notice over two years’ and ‘repos’ in order to calculate the reserve base subject to the positive reserve ratio; (e) positions vis-à-vis the rest of the world for total deposit liabilities in order to compile the external counterparts; (f) deposit liabilities and loans vis-à-vis the rest of the world below and above one year original maturity for balance of payments and financial accounts purposes.

(9) Where this may reduce the reporting burden on credit institutions and support the development of enhanced statistics, NCBs are encouraged to promote security-by-security reporting arrangements for the collection of the statistical information on MFIs' securities portfolios required by this Regulation. In respect of money market funds (MMFs), NCBs may allow them to report in line with Regulation (EC) No 958/2007 of the European Central Bank of 27 July 2007 concerning statistics on the assets and liabilities of investment funds (ECB/2007/8) (6), so as to alleviate the burden on fund managers.

(10) Financial transactions are computed by the ECB as the difference between stock positions at end-month reporting dates, from which the effect of changes that arise due to influences other than transactions is removed. The requirement addressed to the reporting agents does not cover the exchange rate changes, which are calculated by the ECB from currency-by-currency stock data supplied by the reporting agents, or the reclassification adjustments, which are collected by the NCBs themselves using various information sources that are already available.

(11) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 empowers the ECB to adopt regulations or decisions in order to exempt institutions from the minimum reserve requirements, to specify modalities to exclude or deduct liabilities owed to any other institution from the reserve base, and to establish differing reserve ratios for specific categories of liabilities. Under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98, the ECB has the right to collect from institutions the information necessary for the application of minimum reserve requirements, and to verify the accuracy and quality of the information which institutions provide to demonstrate compliance with the minimum reserve requirements. In order to reduce the overall reporting burden, it is desirable for the statistical information regarding the monthly balance sheet to be used for the regular calculation of the reserve base of the credit institutions subject to the ECB's minimum reserve system, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 of the European Central Bank of 12 September 2003 on the application of minimum reserves (ECB/2003/9) (7).

(12) The determination of specific procedures to be applied in the case of mergers involving credit institutions is necessary in order to clarify the obligations of these institutions in respect of reserve requirements.

(13) The ECB requires information on the securitisation activities of MFIs in order to interpret credit and loan developments in the euro area. Such information also complements data reported under Regulation (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) (8).

(14) While it is recognised that regulations adopted by the ECB do not confer any rights or impose any obligations on non-participating Member States, Article 5 of the ESCB Statute applies to both participating and non-participating Member States. Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 recalls that Article 5 of the ESCB Statute, together with Article 10 of the Treaty, implies an obligation on the non-participating Member States to design and implement at national level all the measures that they consider appropriate in order to carry out the collection of the statistical information needed to fulfil the ECB's statistical reporting requirements and to ensure timely preparations in the field of statistics in order for them to become participating Member States,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

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),

— ‘participating Member State’ means a participating Member State as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98,

— ‘non-participating Member State’ means a Member State which has not adopted the euro,

— ‘reporting agent’ means a reporting agent as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98,

— ‘resident’ means resident as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98,

— ‘financial vehicle corporation’ (FVC) means a financial vehicle corporation as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 24/2009 (ECB/2008/30),

— ‘securitisation’ means a transaction which is either: (a) a traditional securitisation as defined in Article 4 of Directive 2006/48/EC; and/or (b) a securitisation as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 24/2009 (ECB/2008/30), which involves the disposal of the loans being securitised to an FVC,

— ‘electronic money institution’ and ‘electronic money’ mean electronic money institution and electronic money as defined in Article 1(3) of Directive 2000/46/EC,

— ‘write-down’ means the direct reduction of the carrying amount of a loan on the balance sheet due to its impairment,

— ‘servicer’ means an MFI which manages the loans underlying a securitisation on a day-to-day basis in terms of the collection of principal and interest from the obligors, which is then forwarded to investors in the securitisation scheme,

— ‘loan disposal’ means the economic transfer of a loan or pool of loans by the reporting agent to a non-MFI transferee, achieved either by transfer of ownership or by sub-participation,

— ‘loan acquisition’ means the economic transfer of a loan or pool of loans from a non-MFI transferor to the reporting agent, achieved either by transfer of ownership or by sub-participation.

Article 2

Actual reporting population

1. The actual reporting population shall consist of the MFIs resident in the territory of the participating Member States (in line with Annex II, Part 1).

2. The MFIs in the actual reporting population shall be subject to full reporting requirements unless any derogation granted pursuant to Article 8 applies.

3. Entities which meet the MFI definition shall fall under the scope of this Regulation even if they are excluded from the scope of Directive 2006/48/EC.

4. For the purposes of the collection of information on the residency of the holders of MMF shares/units as specified in Annex I, Part 2, Section 5.5, the actual reporting population shall also consist of other financial intermediaries except insurance corporations and pension funds (OFIs), as set out in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98, subject to any derogations.

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.

2. The list of MFIs for statistical purposes and its updates shall be made accessible by NCBs and the ECB to the reporting agents in an appropriate manner, including by electronic means, via the Internet or, at the request of the reporting agents, in paper form.

3. The list of MFIs for statistical purposes shall be for information only. However, if the latest accessible version of the list is incorrect, the ECB shall not impose sanctions on any entity which did not properly fulfil its reporting requirements to the extent that it relied in good faith on the incorrect list.

Article 4

Statistical reporting requirements

1. The actual reporting population shall report to the NCB of the Member State in which the MFI is resident monthly stocks relating to the end-of-month balance sheet and monthly aggregated revaluation adjustments. Aggregated revaluation adjustments shall be reported in respect of loan write-offs/write-downs corresponding to the loans granted by the reporting agents and covering the price revaluations of securities. 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’.

4. In addition, the ECB may require explanatory information on the adjustments in ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’ collected by the NCBs.

Article 5

Additional statistical reporting requirements for loan securitisations and other loan transfers

MFIs shall report the following in accordance with Part 6 of Annex I:

1. The net flow of loan securitisations and other loan transfers carried out during the reporting period;

2. The end-of-quarter amount outstanding in respect of all loans for which the MFI acts as servicer in a securitisation;

3. When applying the International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39) or similar national accounting rules, the end-of-period amount outstanding in respect of loans disposed of by means of a securitisation that has not been derecognised from the balance sheet.

Article 6

Timeliness

1. NCBs shall decide when they need to receive data from reporting agents in order to meet the deadlines set out below, taking into account the timeliness requirements of the ECB's minimum reserve system where relevant, and shall inform the reporting agents accordingly.

2. Monthly statistics shall be transmitted by the NCBs to the ECB by close of business on the 15th working day following the end of the month to which they relate.

3. Quarterly statistics shall be transmitted by the NCBs to the ECB by close of business on the 28th working day following the end of the quarter to which they relate.

4. Annual statistics shall be transmitted by the NCBs to the ECB in accordance with Article 17(2) of Guideline ECB/2007/9 of 1 August 2007 on monetary, financial institutions and markets statistics (recast) (12).

Article 7

Accounting rules for the purposes of statistical reporting

1. Unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation, the accounting rules followed by MFIs for the purposes of reporting under this Regulation shall be those laid down in the national transposition of Council Directive 86/635/EEC of 8 December 1986 on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of banks and other financial institutions (13), as well as in any other international standards applicable.

2. Deposit liabilities and loans shall be reported at their principal amount outstanding at the end of the month. Write-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.

Article 8

Derogations

1. Derogations may be granted to small MFIs (MFIs in the ‘tail’).

(a) NCBs may grant derogations to small MFIs, provided that their combined contribution to the national MFI balance sheet in terms of stocks does not exceed 5 %;

(b) with regard to credit institutions, the derogations referred to in point (a) shall have the effect of reducing the statistical reporting requirements of credit institutions to which such derogations apply without prejudice to the requirements for the calculation of minimum reserves as set out in Annex III;

(c) with regard to small MFIs that are not credit institutions, where a derogation referred to in point (a) applies NCBs shall continue, as a minimum, to collect data relating to the total balance sheet at least at an annual frequency so that the size of the reporting ‘tail’ can be monitored;

(d) without prejudice to point (a), NCBs may grant derogations to credit institutions that do not benefit from the regime laid down in points (a) and (b) with the effect of reducing their reporting requirements to those laid down in Part 7 of Annex I, provided that their combined contribution to the national MFI balance sheet in terms of stocks exceeds neither 10 % of the national MFI balance sheet nor 1 % of the euro area MFI balance sheet;

(e) NCBs shall check the fulfilment of the conditions set out in points (a) and (d) in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation with effect from the start of each year;

(f) small MFIs may choose not to make use of the derogations and to fulfil the full reporting requirements instead.

2. Derogations may be granted to MMFs.

NCBs may grant derogations to MMFs from the reporting requirements set out in Article 4(1) provided that MMFs instead report balance sheet data in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 958/2007 (ECB/2007/8), subject to the following requirements:

— MMFs report such data on a monthly basis in accordance with the ‘combined approach’ set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 958/2007 (ECB/2007/8) and in accordance with the timeliness requirements set out in Article 9 thereof,

— MMFs report end-of-month stock data on MMF shares/units in accordance with the timeliness requirements set out in Article 6(2).

3. Derogations may be granted in respect of MMF shares/units.

(a) ‘MMF registered shares/units’ shall mean MMF shares/units in respect of which, in accordance with national legislation, a record is kept identifying the holder(s) thereof, including information on the residency of the holder(s). ‘MMF bearer shares/units’ shall mean MMF shares/units in respect of which, in accordance with national legislation, a record is not kept identifying the holder(s) thereof, or in respect of which a record is kept which does not contain information on the residency of the holder(s).

(b) Where registered shares/units or bearer shares/units are issued for the first time or where market developments require a change of option or combination of options (as defined in Section 5.5 of Part 2 of Annex I), NCBs may grant derogations for one year in respect of the requirements set out in Section 5.5 of Part 2 of Annex I.

(c) As regards residency of the holders of MMF shares/units, NCBs may grant derogations to reporting agents provided that the required statistical information is collected from other available sources in accordance with Section 5.5 of Part 2 of Annex I. 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 year in agreement with the ECB. For the purposes of this Regulation, NCBs may establish and maintain a list of reporting OFIs in accordance with the principles set out in Section 5.5 of Part 2 of Annex I.

4. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, derogations may be granted to electronic money institutions.

(a) Without prejudice to Directive 2006/48/EC and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) and subject to point (b), NCBs may grant derogations to individual electronic money institutions. The NCBs shall check the fulfilment of the requirements of point (b) in good time in order to grant or withdraw, if necessary, any derogation. Any NCB that grants such a derogation shall inform the ECB thereof.

(b) NCBs may grant derogations to individual electronic money institutions if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (i) the electronic money that they issue is accepted as payment only by a limited number of undertakings, which can be clearly distinguished by: — their location in the same premises or other limited local area, and/or — their close financial or business relationship with the issuing institution, such as a shared ownership, marketing or distribution structure, even if the issuing institution and the accepting undertaking are set up as separate legal entities; or (ii) over three-quarters of their total balance sheet is unrelated to the issuance or administration of electronic money and the liabilities relating to outstanding electronic money do not exceed EUR 100 million.

(c) If an electronic money institution that is granted a derogation is not exempted from the minimum reserve requirements, it shall report, as a minimum, the quarterly data necessary to calculate the reserve base, as laid down in Annex III. The institution may choose to report the restricted set of reserve base data at a monthly frequency.

(d) Whenever an individual electronic money institution is granted a derogation, the ECB will, for statistical purposes, record the institution in the list of MFIs as a non-financial corporation. The institution will also be treated as a non-financial corporation in situations where it is the counterparty of an MFI. The institution will continue to be treated as a credit institution for the purposes of the ECB's minimum reserve requirements.

5. Derogations may be granted in respect of revaluation adjustments.

(a) Without prejudice to paragraph 1, NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the reporting of revaluation adjustments to MMFs, removing from the MMFs any requirement to report revaluation adjustments.

(b) NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the frequency and timeliness of the reporting of price revaluations of securities and require these data on a quarterly basis and with the same timeliness as for stock data reported on a quarterly basis, subject to the following requirements: (i) reporting agents, using different valuation methods, shall provide the NCBs with the relevant information on valuation practices, including quantitative indications on the percentage of their holdings of these instruments; (ii) where a substantial price revaluation has occurred, NCBs shall be entitled to request reporting agents to provide additional information relating to the month in which this took place.

(c) NCBs may grant derogations in respect of the reporting of price revaluations of securities, including the granting of complete exemption from any such reporting, to credit institutions which report the monthly stocks of securities on a security-by-security basis, subject to the following requirements: (i) the information reported includes, for each security, its carrying value on the balance sheet; (ii) for securities without publicy available identification codes, the information reported includes information on the instrument category, maturity and issuer which is at least sufficient for the derivation of the breakdowns defined as ‘minimum requirements’ in Part 5 of Annex I.

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 (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. 1.2. 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, — 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 — 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. 2.2. 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), — ‘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, — ‘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 (b) market depth, where they are traded on a market which is able to absorb a large volume of transactions, with such trading of large amounts having a limited impact on their price; and (c) certainty in value, where their value can be accurately determined at any time or at least once a month; and (d) low interest risk, where they have a residual maturity of up to and including one year, or regular yield adjustments in line with money market conditions at least every 12 months; and (e) low credit risk, where such instruments are either: (1) admitted to an official listing on a stock exchange or traded on other regulated markets which operate regularly, are recognised and are open to the public; or (2) issued under regulations aimed at protecting investors and savings; or (3) issued by: — a central, regional or local authority, a central bank of a Member State, the EU, the ECB, the European Investment Bank, a non-Member State or, if the latter is a federal State, by one of the members making up the federation, or by a public international body to which one or more Member States belong, or — an establishment subject to prudential supervision in accordance with criteria defined by Community law, or by an establishment which is subject to and complies with prudential rules considered by the competent authorities to be at least as stringent as those laid down by Community law, or guaranteed by any such establishment, or — an undertaking the securities of which have been admitted to an official listing on a stock exchange or are traded on other regulated markets which operate regularly, are recognised and are open to the public. 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. 5.2. 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. 5.3. 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. 5.4. 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. 5.5. 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. (b) MFIs and OFIs as custodians of MMF shares/units: As reporting agents, MFIs and OFIs acting as custodians of MMF shares/units report data on the residency breakdown of the holders of shares/units issued by resident MMFs and held in custody on behalf of the holder or of another intermediary also acting as a custodian. This option is applicable if (i) the custodian distinguishes MMF shares/units kept in custody on behalf of holders from those kept on behalf of other custodians; and (ii) most of the MMF shares/units are in the custody of domestic resident institutions that are classified as financial intermediaries (MFIs or OFIs). (c) MFIs and OFIs as reporters of transactions of residents with non-residents involving shares/units of a resident MMF: As reporting agents, MFIs and OFIs acting as reporters of transactions of residents with non-residents involving shares/units of a resident MMF report data on the residency breakdown of the holders of shares/units issued by resident MMFs, which they trade on behalf of the holder or another intermediary also involved in the transaction. This option is applicable if (i) the reporting coverage is comprehensive, i.e. it covers substantially all of the transactions carried out by the reporting agents; (ii) accurate data on purchases and sales with non-residents of the participating Member States are provided; (iii) differences between issuing value and redemption value, excluding fees, of the same shares/units are minimal; and (iv) the amount of shares/units held by non-residents of the participating Member States issued by resident MMFs is low. (d) If options (a) to (c) do not apply, the reporting agents, including MFIs and OFIs, report the relevant data on the basis of available information.

Assets 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. 2. Subsector breakdown of MFI deposit liabilities to the general government (other than central government) of the participating Member States (see Table 2). This is required as complementary information to the monthly reporting. 3. Sector breakdown of positions with counterparties outside the participating Member States (non-participating Member States and the rest of the world) (see Table 2). The sector classification in accordance with the System of National Accounts (SNA 93) applies where the ESA 95 is not in force. 4. Country breakdown (see Table 3). This breakdown is required to analyse further monetary developments and also for the purposes of the transitional requirements and for data quality checks. 5. Currency breakdown (see Table 4). This breakdown is required in order to permit the calculation of transactions for monetary aggregates and counterparts adjusted for exchange rate changes where these aggregates include all currencies combined.

Number of transferable overnight deposits accounts. This item refers to the number of transferable overnight deposits accounts (see definitions of instrument categories in Part 2 of Annex II) held with the reporting institution. 2. Number of transferable overnight deposits accounts: Internet/personal computer (PC)-linked. This item refers to the number of transferable overnight deposits accounts held with the reporting institution which the account holder can access and use electronically via the Internet or PC banking using dedicated software and dedicated telecommunication lines in order to effectuate payments. Transferable overnight deposits with telephone or mobile phone banking access are not included, unless they are also accessible via the Internet or PC banking.

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. Table 1A Monthly revaluation adjustments (8) BALANCE SHEET ITEMS A. Domestic B. Other participating Member States C. Rest of the world D.

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. 3.2. 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, — 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). 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. 4.2. With respect to loans serviced for FVCs resident in other euro area Member States, MFIs provide further breakdowns, by aggregating the serviced loans separately for each Member State in which an FVC is resident. 4.3. NCBs may collect the data referred to in Article 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. 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. 5.2. 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 — 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. (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. 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. 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. Table Instrument categories ASSET CATEGORIES Category Description of main features 1. Cash Holdings of euro and foreign banknotes and coins in circulation that are commonly used to make payments 2. Loans of up to and including one year/over one year and up to and including five years/of over five years' original 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) (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 (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 (e) deposits, as defined under liability category 9 (f) financial leases granted to third parties 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 (g) bad debt loans that have not yet been repaid or written off The total amount of loans in respect of which repayment is overdue or otherwise identified as being impaired, partially or totally, in accordance with the definition of default in Directive 2006/48/EC (h) holdings of non-negotiable securities Holdings of securities other than shares and other equity which are not negotiable and cannot be traded on secondary markets, see also ‘traded loans’ (i) traded loans Loans that have de facto become negotiable are to be classified under the asset item ‘loans’ provided that they continue to be evidenced by a single document and are, as a general rule, only traded occasionally (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 (k) claims under reverse repos or securities borrowing against cash collateral 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) 3. Securities other than shares Holdings of securities other than shares or other equity, which are negotiable and usually traded on secondary markets or can be offset on the market, and which do not grant the holder any ownership rights over the issuing institution. This item includes: (a) holdings of securities which give the holder the unconditional right to a fixed or contractually determined income in the form of coupon payments and/or a stated fixed sum at a specific date (or dates) or starting from a date defined at the time of issue (b) negotiable loans that have been restructured into a large number of identical documents and that can be traded on secondary markets (see also ‘traded loans’ in category 2i) (c) subordinated debt in the form of debt securities (see also ‘subordinated debt in the form of deposits or loans’ in category 2j) Securities lent out under securities lending operations or sold under a repurchase agreement remain on the original owner's balance sheet (and are not to be recorded on the balance sheet of the temporary acquirer) where there is a firm commitment to reverse the operation (and not simply an option to do so). Where the temporary acquirer sells the securities received, this sale must be recorded as an outright transaction in securities and entered in the balance sheet of the temporary acquirer as a negative position in the securities portfolio 3a/3b/3c Securities other than shares of up to and including one year/of over one year and up to and including two years/of over two years’ original maturity These items include: (a) Holdings of negotiable debt securities (evidenced or not by documents) of original maturity of up to and including one year/of over one year and up to and including two years/of over two years' original maturity (b) Negotiable loans of original maturity of up to and including one year/of over one year and up to and including two years/of over two years' original maturity that are restructured into a large number of identical documents and that are traded on secondary markets (c) Subordinated debt in the form of debt securities of original maturity of up to and including one year/of over one year and up to and including two years/of over two years' original maturity 4. MMF shares/units This asset item includes holdings of shares/units issued by MMFs. See also definition in Annex I, Part 1, Section 2 (see also liability category 5 and asset category 10) 5. Shares and other equity Holdings of securities which represent property rights in corporations or quasi-corporations. These securities generally entitle the holders to a share in the profits of corporations or quasi-corporations and to a share in their own funds in the event of liquidation. Mutual fund shares (other than MMF shares/units) are included here 6. Fixed assets For the purposes of the reporting scheme, this consists of non-financial assets, tangible or intangible, which are intended to be used repeatedly for more t
