of 26 March 2021

repealing Guideline ECB/2014/15 on monetary and financial statistics (ECB/2021/16)

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) 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, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Recent amendments to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/33) (1) and Regulation (EU) No 1409/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/43) (2) require the revision of Guideline ECB/2014/15 of the European Central Bank (3) as it establishes the requirements for the statistical information collected under, inter alia, those Regulations, to be transmitted by national central banks (NCBs) to the European Central Bank (ECB).

(2) Guideline ECB/2014/15 has been substantially amended several times (4). Since further amendments are required, the Guideline is recast in the interests of clarity and split into the following new guidelines: (a) Guideline (EU) 2021/830 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/11) (5) on balance sheet item statistics and interest rate statistics of monetary financial institutions; (b) Guideline (EU) 2021/831 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/12) (6) on statistical information to be reported on financial intermediaries other than monetary financial institutions; (c) Guideline (EU) 2021/833 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/14) (7) on statistical information to be reported on consolidated banking data; (d) Guideline (EU) 2021/832 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/13) (8) on reporting requirements on payments statistics; and (e) Guideline (EU) 2021/834 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/15) (9) on statistical information to be reported on securities issues. Accordingly, Guideline ECB/2014/15 should be repealed.

(3) In order to ensure that the collection and analysis of statistical information is effective, NCBs shall comply with the reporting requirements of Guideline (EU) 2021/830 (ECB/2021/11) from the same date as the date of application of the reporting requirements of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (10) of the European Central Bank on the balance sheet items of credit institutions and of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2021/2), namely 1 February 2022. Therefore, NCBs should also comply with Guideline (EU) 2021/831 (ECB/2021/12), Guideline (EU) 2021/832 (ECB/2021/13), Guideline (EU) 2021/833 (ECB/2021/14) and Guideline (EU) 2021/834 (ECB/2021/15) from 1 February 2022.

(4) For reasons of legal certainty, Guideline ECB/2014/15 should be repealed on the date from which NCBs comply with those recast Guidelines. NCBs should therefore comply with this Guideline from 1 February 2022,
