            GUIDELINE (EU) 2016/450 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
         
of 4 December 2015
         
amending Guideline ECB/2014/15 on monetary and financial statistics (ECB/2015/44)


THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 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),

Whereas:







(1)


It is necessary to update the compilation of monetary and financial statistics in view of the fact that, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/50) (2), insurance corporations will be subject to statistical reporting requirements starting with the reference period Q1 of 2016. It is therefore necessary to start compiling statistics on insurance corporations (ICs) within the framework set out in Guideline ECB/2014/15 (3).












(2)


Guideline ECB/2014/15 should be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:



Article 1

Amendments

Guideline ECB/2014/15 is amended as follows:






1.


in Article 1, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:











2.


in Article 25 the following paragraph is added to paragraph 1:
‘To enable the establishment and maintenance of the list of ICs for statistical purposes referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2014/50) (*1), the variables specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V need to be collected in RIAD at the intervals prescribed. NCBs shall report any updates of these variables, in particular when an institution joins or leaves the IC population. NCBs shall transmit complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries, on all resident branches irrespective of where their parent undertakings are located, as well as on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident outside the economic territory of the Union. This set of information shall be complemented by complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident in non-reporting, non-participating Member States. This reporting may be based on wider data collection covering all branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries, irrespective of their country of residence.

(*1)  Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 of the European Central Bank of 28 November 2014 on statistical reporting requirements for insurance corporations (ECB/2014/50) (OJ L 366, 20.12.2014, p. 36)’;"
                        










3.


in Article 25 the following paragraph is added to paragraph 2:
‘In the first submission of the list of ICs, NCBs shall transmit to the ECB complete quarterly reference data as specified in Part 1 of Annex V on resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries not later than 31 March 2016. However, NCBs are encouraged to transmit this information by 31 December 2015. NCBs shall transmit to the ECB complete reference data as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex V on all resident branches irrespective of where their parent undertakings are located, as well as on branches of resident parent insurance undertakings and subsidiaries which are resident outside the economic territory of the Union and in non-reporting, non-participating Member States not later than 31 July 2016. Attributes required on an annual basis shall be reported for all institutions by 31 July 2016.
In the subsequent transmissions, NCBs shall transmit to the ECB updates of the quarterly variables specified for ICs on at least a quarterly basis, within two months following the reference date. The annual variables shall be updated for all ICs on an annual basis, with a maximum lag of six months following the reference date of 31 December.’;










4.


in Article 25, the following paragraph is added to paragraph 3:
‘By 18.00 CET on the fourth working day following the deadline for transmitting updates, the ECB shall take a copy of the IC dataset and make it available to the NCBs. The ECB shall then make the list of ICs available on its website.’;










5.


in Article 26, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:











6.


the following Article 26a is inserted:

‘Article 26a
Statistics on ICs
1.   
Scope of reporting


2.   
Reporting frequency and deadline


NCBs shall report to the ECB quarterly IC data by close of business on the 10th working day following the deadline specified for quarterly data in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50). For a transitional period covering the reporting of the first three quarters of 2016, this deadline is extended to the 30th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q1 of 2016, to the 25th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q2 of 2016 and to the 20th working day following the abovementioned deadline for reference period Q3 of 2016.
NCBs shall report to the ECB annual IC data by close of business on the 10th working day following the deadline specified for annual data in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50).
The exact transmission dates shall be communicated to NCBs in advance in the form of a reporting calendar provided by the ECB by September of each year.
In the first reporting of the quarterly IC data to the ECB, NCBs shall be required to submit data on outstanding amounts. Flow adjustments shall be transmitted on a best efforts basis.
3.   
Revision policy


The following general rules shall apply to revisions of quarterly and annual data:






(a)


during the regular quarterly production periods, i.e. for a given reference period, from the deadline specified in paragraph 2 to the day the data are disseminated back to the NCBs, NCBs may revise the data covering the previous reference quarter;










(b)


during the regular annual production periods, i.e. for a given reference year, from the deadline specified in paragraph 2 to the day the data are disseminated back to the NCBs, NCBs may revise the data covering the previous reference year;










(c)


outside the regular production periods, NCBs may also revise data covering previous reference periods.




4.   
Derogations and grossing-up


To ensure the quality of the euro area IC statistics, where NCBs grant derogations to the smallest ICs in accordance with Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), they shall gross up the quarterly IC data reported to the ECB to 100 % coverage.
NCBs may choose the procedure for grossing-up to 100 % coverage based on the data collected in accordance with Article 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) provided that estimates are based on the corresponding type of IC (i.e. life, non-life, reinsurance, composite).
NCBs shall also ensure that, for the reference quarters of 2016, the data reported to the ECB represent 100 % of the reporting population. NCBs who intend to grant derogations to the smallest ICs under Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), shall collect all necessary information to ensure that data transmitted to the ECB is of high quality. NCBs who derive the required data from data collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (*2) may, for this purpose: (i) extend the data collected for the opening day as of reference date 1 January 2016 (see paragraph 5); (ii) increase the coverage of the reporting population of the first reference quarter(s); or (iii) use alternative data sources from which grossed-up data of equally high quality can be derived.
5.   
One-off reporting for reference period Q4 2015


NCBs shall transmit to the ECB end-2015 stock data, which may include approximations if needed, for the main aggregates as set out in Part 23 of Annex II. NCBs may, for this purpose, use the data referring to 1 January 2016 collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC. These data shall be transmitted to the ECB together with the data for Q1 of 2016.
6.   
Derivation of aggregated data for securities


NCBs shall derive the aggregated quarterly data on assets and liabilities for each type of IC in accordance with Tables 2a and 2b of Part 23 of Annex II as follows:






(a)


For securities with ISIN codes, the NCBs shall map the information provided on a security-by-security (s-b-s) basis to the information derived from the Centralised Securities Database (CSDB) as the reference database. The mapped s-b-s information shall be used to compile the value of assets and liabilities in euro and to derive the necessary breakdowns for each individual security held or issued by the IC. If the security identifiers are not found in the CSDB, or the information necessary to compile the assets and liabilities in accordance with Tables 2a and 2b of Part 23 of Annex II is not available from the CSDB, the NCBs shall estimate the missing data.










(b)


NCBs shall aggregate the data on securities derived under paragraph (a) and add them to the information reported for securities without ISIN codes to produce aggregates for: (i) debt securities broken down by maturity (original and remaining) and counterparty (sector and residency); (ii) equity broken down by instrument and counterparty (sector and residency); and (iii) investment fund shares/units broken down by type of investment fund and residency of counterparty.




7.   
Breakdown of holdings of IF shares/units by main investment objective


NCBs shall transmit to the ECB best estimates on the IC holdings of IF shares/units broken down by main investment objective (i.e. bond funds, equity funds, mixed funds, real estate funds, hedge funds and other funds). These data may be derived by mapping the information provided on an s-b-s basis in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) to the information derived from the CSDB as the reference database.
If the IF shares/units held are not found in the CSDB, the NCBs shall estimate the missing data or use alternative sources to derive the data.
As a transitional measure, NCBs may transmit these data to the ECB for the first time when transmitting data for Q2 2016, covering also the data for Q1 2016.
8.   
Estimation of quarterly data for non-life insurance technical reserves


In accordance with Article 4(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), NCBs shall collect data on non-life insurance technical reserves broken down by line of business and geographical area on an annual basis. NCBs shall transmit quarterly data to the ECB which may be estimated based on the data collected annually.
9.   
Valuation methods and/or accounting rules


The valuation and/or accounting rules in Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) shall also apply when the NCBs report IC data to the ECB.
10.   
Explanatory notes


NCBs shall submit explanatory notes explaining the reasons for significant revisions and revisions provided outside regular production periods in line with Article 26a(3)(c). In addition, the NCBs shall provide the ECB with explanatory notes concerning reclassification adjustments.
11.   
Compilation approach


NCBs may collect data from all insurance corporations resident in the country (‘host approach’), in accordance with Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) or they may derive the data required for ESCB purposes from data collected for supervisory purposes under Directive 2009/138/EC, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) (‘home approach’).
In principle, data transmitted to the ECB in accordance with this Guideline shall represent the host approach. However, NCBs who derive the data required for ESCB purposes from the supervisory data collection may transmit the data following the home approach as long as the difference between the host approach and home approach data is not deemed significant.
The issue of whether or not the difference between the host and the home approach is significant shall be assessed on the basis of data on premiums reported in accordance with Table 3 of Part 23 of Annex II to this Guideline. Following this assessment, the ECB, in close cooperation with NCBs, will define the approach to be followed regarding the transmission of host approach data to the ECB. Until this approach is defined, NCBs are exempted from adjusting their data.
NCBs who wish to adjust their data may, on a voluntary and best efforts basis, derive host approach data from data collected in accordance with the home approach. For this purpose, bilateral contacts and exchanges of data may take place between the NCBs concerned.

                                 ‘PART 2

DSDs and datasets

1.   In the SDMX messages exchanged, statistical concepts can be used either as dimensions (in composing the ‘keys’ identifying the time series) or as attributes (providing information about the data). Coded dimensions and attributes take their values from predefined code lists. The DSDs define the structure of the exchanged series keys, in terms of concepts and associated code lists. In addition, they define their relationship with the relevant attributes. The same structure can be used for several data flows, which are differentiated by the data set information.
2.   In the context of monetary and financial statistics, the ECB has defined 12 DSDs currently used for the exchange of statistics with the ESCB and other international organisations. For the majority of those DSDs, one data set using that structure is exchanged and as a consequence the DSD identifier and the associated data set identifier (DSI) used in the SDMX data messages are the same. For treatment, timeliness and responsibility purposes, two different data sets following the ‘ECB_BSI1’ DSD have been defined and are distinguished at the DSI level. Similarly, two different data sets following the ‘ECB_ICPF1’ DSD have been defined and are distinguished at the DSI level. The following data flows characteristics are in production:






—


balance sheet items (BSI), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_BSI1’,










—


balance sheet items in the context of the Blue Book (BSP), DSD identifier ‘ECB_BSI1’ and DSI ‘ECB_BSP’,










—


banking structural financial indicators (SSI), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_SSI1’,










—


banking structural financial indicators in the context of the Blue Book (SSP), DSD identifier ‘ECB_SS1’ and DSI ‘ECB_SSP’,










—


MFI interest rates (MIR), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_MIR1’,










—


other financial intermediaries (OFI), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_OFI1’,










—


securities issues (SEC), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_SEC1’,










—


payment and settlement systems (PSS), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_PSS1’,










—


investment funds (IVF), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_IVF1’,










—


financial vehicle corporations (FVC), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_FVC1’,










—


consolidated banking data (CBD), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_CBD1’,










—


international consolidated banking statistics (CBS), DSD identifier and DSI ‘BIS_CBS’,










—


insurance corporations' assets and liabilities (ICB), DSD identifier ‘ECB_ICPF1’ and DSI ‘ECB_ICB’,










—


insurance corporations' operations (premiums, claims, commissions) (ICO), DSD identifier and DSI ‘ECB_ICO1’,










—


pension funds' assets and liabilities (PFB), DSD identifier ‘ECB_ICPF1’ and DSI ‘ECB_PFB’.




2.1.   The DSI ‘ECB_BSI1’ is used to define the series keys for data on:






—


MFI balance sheet statistics,










—


e-money,










—


credit institutions balance sheet statistics,










—


MMF balance sheet statistics,










—


central government deposit liabilities and holdings of cash and securities,










—


memorandum items,










—


supplementary BSI data reported by the NCBs to the International Monetary Fund using the ECB gateway services,










—


securitised and sold MFI loans to third parties,










—


reserve base statistics,










—


macro ratio,










—


loans to non-financial corporations broken down by branch of activity,










—


credit lines.




2.2.   For the purposes of insurance corporations and pension funds (ICPF), the DSI ‘ECB_ICPF1’ is used to define the series keys for data on insurance corporations' assets and liabilities and on pension funds' assets and liabilities.

Frequency.
 This dimension indicates the frequency of the reported time series. The specific data exchange requirements are as follows:






—


for the ‘ECB_OFI1’ DSD: when national data are only available at a lower frequency, i.e. biannually or annually, NCBs estimate quarterly data. When quarterly estimates are not feasible, data are nevertheless provided as quarterly time series, i.e. annual data are provided as yyyyQ4 and biannual data are provided as yyyyQ2 and yyyyQ4 with the remaining quarters either not reported or reported as missing with the observation status ‘L’,










—


for the ‘ECB_SEC1’ DSD: if the required monthly data are not available and no estimates can be made, then quarterly or annual data can be sent.

OFIs concentrate on different financial activities depending on the type of institution, and not all balance sheet items apply to all types of intermediaries. Therefore, while most of the balance sheet items are common to all types of other financial intermediaries, ‘other assets’ and ‘other liabilities’ can have different definitions for different types of intermediaries. On the asset side, two different definitions are adopted for the ‘other assets’ item: (a) for security and derivative dealers (SDDs) this item includes loans; and (b) for financial corporations engaged in lending (FCLs) the item includes deposits, cash, investment fund shares, fixed assets and financial derivatives. With regard to the ‘other liabilities’ item: (a) for SDDs this item excludes debt securities, capital and reserves and financial derivatives; and (b) for FCLs this item includes financial derivatives.

PART 4

Attributes

The sections below explain in detail the attributes associated with the exchanged data. Section 1 defines the attributes per DSD including their format and attachment level. Section 2 sets out the responsibility of the ESCB data exchange partners in the creation of attributes and their maintenance, as well as the status of the attributes. Sections 3, 4 and 5 focus on the content of the attributes sorted by attachment level, respectively the sibling, time series and observation level.

Section 1: Coded and uncoded attributes defined in the ECB_BSI1, ECB_SSI1, ECB_MIR1, ECB_OFI1, ECB_SEC1, ECB_PSS1, ECB_IVF1, ECB_FVC1, ECB_CBD1, BIS_CBS, ECB_ICPF1 and ECB_ICO1 DSDs

In addition to the dimensions defining the series keys, a set of attributes is defined. The attributes are attached at various levels of the exchanged information: at sibling, time series or observation level. As illustrated below, they either take their value from pre-defined lists of codes or are uncoded, and are used to add textual explanations on relevant data aspects.
Attribute values are exchanged only when they are set for the first time and whenever they change with the exception of the mandatory attributes attached at observation level, which are attached to each observation and reported at every data transmission.
The table below provides information on the attributes defined for each DSD under consideration, on the level at which they are attached, their format and the name of the code lists from which coded attributes take their values.

METHOD_REF (methodology reference).
 This attribute is only used for the PSS dataset and indicates whether, for each time series or for part of it, the 2005 ‘enhanced’ definition or a previous definition is used. Two values are defined:






PSS


The ‘enhanced’ definitions implemented in the year 2005 are used: ‘2005’.
Definitions implemented in previous years (2004 or earlier) are used: ‘Previous’.




The attribute should also indicate the period for which each definition applies. For example ‘2005 definitions for the whole series’, ‘2005 definitions as from data referring to 2003, previous definitions for the rest’, or ‘previous definitions up to data referring to 2004’.

Conditional




TITLE (title).

 NCBs may use the TITLE attribute for the construction of short titles.



NAT_TITLE (national language title).

 NCBs may use the NAT_TITLE attribute to provide a precise description and other supplementary or distinguishing specifications in their national language. Although the use of upper and lower case letters does not cause problems, NCBs are asked to limit themselves to the Latin-1 character set. In general, the exchange of accented characters and extended alphanumeric symbols needs to be tested before regular use.


COMPILATION (compilation).
 For the BSI, IVF, FVC, ICPF, ICO and MIR datasets this attribute may be used for further textual explanation of the compilation methods, weighting schemes and statistical procedures used to compile the underlying series, particularly if they diverge from the ECB rules and standards. In general, the structure of the required national explanatory notes is the following:






—


data sources/data collection system,










—


compilation procedures (including description of estimates/assumptions made),










—


deviations from the ECB's reporting instructions (geographical/sectoral classification and/or valuation methods),










—


information relating to the national legal framework.




For the SSI dataset, the attribute ‘compilation’ includes information on links to the Union regulatory framework for intermediaries other than credit institutions.
For the OFI dataset, a detailed description of the information to be included under this attribute is provided in points 1-5 of the national explanatory notes (see Part 11 of Annex II).
Similarly, for the SEC dataset, a detailed description of the information to be included under this attribute is provided in points 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10 of the national explanatory notes (see Part 12 of Annex II).

Conditional




DOM_SER_IDS (domestic series identifier).

 This attribute makes it possible to refer to the code used in national databases to identify the corresponding series (formulae using national reference codes can also be specified).



UNIT_INDEX_BASE (unit index base).

 This attribute is mandatory when associated to a series key that expresses an index. It indicates the base reference and the base value for the indices and is only used for the series of the index of notional stocks derived by the ECB and disseminated to the ESCB.



BREAKS (breaks).

 This attribute provides a description of breaks and major changes over time in the collection, reporting coverage and compilation of the series. In the case of breaks, state the extent to which old and new data may be considered comparable, where possible.



PUBL_PUBLIC, PUBL_MU, PUBL_ECB (source publication, source publication (euro area only), source publication (ECB only)).

 These attributes will be set by the ECB if the data are published in ECB publications, in either ECB public or ECB confidential publications. They give a reference (i.e. publications, items, etc.) to published data.

Section 5: Attributes at observation level

If an NCB wishes to revise an attribute assigned at the observation level, the relevant observation(s) must be re-submitted at the same time. If an NCB revises an observation without also providing the relevant attribute value, the existing values will be replaced by the default values.

Mandatory



OBS_STATUS (observation status).
 NCBs report an observation status value attached to each exchanged observation. This attribute is mandatory and must be provided with every data transmission for each individual observation. When NCBs revise the value of this attribute, both the observation value (even if unchanged) and the new observation status flag should be retransmitted.
The list below specifies the expected values for this attribute, according to the agreed hierarchy, for the purpose of these statistics:

‘A’= normal value (default for non-missing observations),

‘B’= break value for the following datasets: SSI, MIR, CBD and PSS (*4),

‘M’= missing value, data do not exist,

‘L’= missing value, data exist but were not collected,

‘E’= estimated value (*5),

‘P’= provisional value (this value can be used, in each data transmission, with reference to the last available observation, if this is considered provisional).
In normal circumstances, numeric values should be reported with the observation status ‘A’ (normal value) attached. Otherwise, a value different from ‘A’ is given in accordance with the list above. If an observation is qualified by two characteristics, the most important is reported, in accordance with the hierarchy shown above.
In each data transmission, the most recent available observations can be reported as provisional, and flagged with the observation status value ‘P’. These observations take definite values and are reported with the observation status flag ‘A’ at a later stage when the new revised values and observation status flags overwrite the provisional ones.
Missing values (‘-’) are reported when it is not possible to report a numeric value (e.g. owing to non-existent data or because data are not collected). A missing observation should never be reported as a ‘zero’, since zero is a normal numeric value that indicates a precise and valid amount. If NCBs are unable to identify the reason for a missing value, or if they cannot use the whole range of values presented in the CL_OBS_STATUS code list for reporting missing observations (‘L’ or ‘M’), the value ‘M’ should be used.
When, due to local statistical conditions, data for a time series are not collected either on specific dates or for the total length of the time series (the underlying economic phenomenon exists, but is not monitored statistically), a missing value is reported (‘-’) with observation status ‘L’ for each period.
When, due to local market practices or to the legal/economic framework, a time series (or part of it) is not applicable (the underlying phenomenon does not exist), a missing value is reported (‘-’) with observation status ‘M’.

Conditional



OBS_CONF (observation confidentiality).
 NCBs report an observation confidentiality value attached to each exchanged observation. While this attribute is defined as conditional in the ECB structural definition file, it should be provided at every data transmission for each individual observation, as each confidential observation must be appropriately flagged. When NCBs revise the value of this attribute, both the associated observation value and the observation status flag (even if unchanged) should be retransmitted.
The list below specifies the expected values for this attribute for the purpose of these statistics:

‘F’= free for publication,

‘N’= not for publication, restricted to internal use only,

‘C’= confidential statistical information in the sense of Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98,

‘S’= secondary confidentiality set and managed by the receiver, not for publication,

‘D’= secondary confidentiality set by the sender, not for publication. This code can be used by the NCBs that already differentiate between primary and secondary confidentiality in their reporting systems. If not, the reporting NCB must use ‘C’ for flagging the secondary confidentiality.


OBS_PRE_BREAK (pre-break observation value).
 This attribute contains the pre-break observation value, which is a numeric field like the observation (*6). In general, it is provided when a break occurs; in this case the observation status must be set to ‘B’ (break value).
For the purpose of the BSI, IVF, FVC, OFI, ICPF and ICO datasets, this attribute is not requested since the relevant information is already available from the reclassification series or the series expressing financial transactions. It has been added to the list of attributes since it is part of the common subset of attributes for all datasets.



OBS_COM(observation comment).

 This attribute can be used to provide textual comments at the observation level (e.g. describing the estimate made for a specific observation due to lack of data, explaining the reason for a possible abnormal observation or giving details of a change in the reported time series).

(*1)  For NCBs, the country of residence of the issuing sector is the NCB's country of residence"
                        

(*4)  If OBS_STATUS is reported as ‘B’ a value has to be reported under the attribute OBS_PRE_BREAK."
                        

(*5)  The observation status ‘E’ is to be used for all observations or periods of data that are the result of estimates and cannot be considered as normal values."
                        

(*6)  The four objects observation value plus OBS_STATUS, OBS_CONF and OBS_PRE_BREAK are treated as one entity. This means that NCBs are obliged to send all complementary information for an observation. (When attributes are not reported, their previous values are overwritten by default values.)’;"

General description of the procedure for deriving transactions


Section 1: Framework









1.


The framework for deriving transactions for monetary financial institutions (MFI) balance sheet items (BSI), investment funds (IF), financial vehicle corporations (FVC) and insurance corporations (IC) assets and liabilities statistics is based on the European system of accounts (hereinafter the ‘ESA 2010’). Deviations from this international standard are made concerning both the data content and statistical concept denominations, where necessary. This Annex is interpreted in accordance with the ESA 2010, unless Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33), Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38), Regulation (EU) No 1075/2013 (ECB/2013/40), Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50), or this Guideline, explicitly or implicitly override its provisions.












2.


In accordance with the ESA 2010, financial transactions are defined as the net acquisition of financial assets or the net incurrence of liabilities for each type of financial instrument, i.e. the sum of all financial transactions that occur during the relevant reporting period (*7). Transactions covering each item specified in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33), Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38), Regulation (EU) No 1075/2013 (ECB/2013/40) and Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) are calculated on a net basis, i.e. there is no requirement to identify gross financial transactions or turnover (*8). The method of valuation for each transaction is to take the value at which assets are acquired/disposed of and/or liabilities are created, liquidated or exchanged. Nevertheless, deviations from the ESA 2010 are permitted.












3.


This Annex reviews the methodology for deriving transactions in the context of BSI, IF, FVC and IC statistics. This part focuses on the calculation of transactions data at the European Central Bank (ECB) and the reporting of the underlying information by NCBs, while Part 2 focuses on the concepts of flow adjustments. Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 then provide specific information relating to the compilation frameworks for BSI, IF, FVC and IC statistics respectively.
Further details and numerical examples are provided in the manuals on these statistics published on the ECB's website.





Section 2: Calculation of transactions data by the ECB and reporting from the NCBs to the ECB

1.   Introduction









1.


For BSI, IF and IC statistics, the ECB calculates transactions by taking, for each asset and liability item, the difference between stock positions at end-period reporting dates and then removing the effect of developments that are not the result of transactions, i.e. ‘other changes’. ‘Other changes’ are grouped into two main categories ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’ and ‘revaluation adjustments’, with the latter covering revaluations due to changes in both prices and exchange rates (*9). National central banks (NCBs) report ‘reclassification and other adjustments’ and ‘revaluation adjustments’ to the ECB so that these non-transaction effects can be removed in the calculation of flow statistics.
In the case of BSI statistics, NCBs report adjustment data to the ECB in accordance with Part 1 of Annex II. The ‘revaluation adjustments’ reported by the NCBs consist of write-offs/write-downs of loans and revaluation adjustments due to price changes. Revaluation adjustments due to changes in exchange rates are normally calculated by the ECB, but when NCBs are in a position to compile more accurate adjustments, they may also transmit these adjustments to the ECB directly (*10).
In the case of IF statistics, NCBs report adjustment data to the ECB in accordance with Part 17 of Annex II. The ‘revaluations adjustments’ reported by the NCBs consist of revaluation adjustments due to price and exchange rate changes.
In the case of IC statistics, NCBs report adjustment data to the ECB in accordance with Part 23 of Annex II. The ‘revaluations adjustments’ reported by the NCBs consist of revaluation adjustments due to price and exchange rate changes.












2.


In the context of FVC statistics, transactions are reported directly by NCBs to the ECB, rather than the flow adjustments. The calculation of the transactions (either directly by reporting agents, or by NCBs) should be consistent with the general approach to reclassifications and other adjustments and revaluations provided in this Annex.




2.   Reclassifications and other adjustments









1.


NCBs compile data on ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’, as requested by this Guideline, using supervisory information, plausibility checks, ad hoc enquiries (e.g. related to outliers), national statistical requirements, information on joiners and leavers of the reporting population and any other source available to them. The ECB is not expected to make ex post adjustments unless the NCBs identify sharp changes in the final data.












2.


NCBs identify changes in stocks that are due to reclassifications and enter the net amount identified under ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’. A net increase in stocks due to reclassifications is entered with a positive sign, a net decrease in stocks with a negative sign.












3.


In principle, the NCBs fulfil all requirements relating to ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’ specified in this Guideline. As a minimum, the NCBs send all ‘reclassifications and other adjustments’ above EUR 50 million. This threshold is intended to help the NCBs decide whether to make an adjustment or not. However, when information is not readily available or of poor quality, a decision can be made either to do nothing or to make estimates. For this reason, flexibility is needed in the operation of such a threshold, not least because of the heterogeneity of existing procedures for calculating adjustments. For example, where relatively detailed information is collected regardless of the threshold, it may be counterproductive to try to apply such a threshold.




3.   Revaluation adjustments









1.


In order to fulfil the requirements relating to ‘revaluation adjustments’ specified in this Guideline, NCBs may need to calculate the adjustments from transactions, security-by-security data or other data reported by the reporting population and/or estimate the adjustments in respect of some of the breakdowns not reported by the reporting population because they are not considered as ‘minimum requirements’.












2.


The ‘revaluation adjustments’ are normally compiled by NCBs on the basis of data directly reported by the reporting population. NCBs, however, may also cover these reporting requirements indirectly (e.g. by collecting data on transactions directly) and in any case are permitted to collect additional data from reporting agents. Whichever approach is used at national level, the NCBs are required to submit a full set of data to the ECB in accordance with Part 1 of Annex II for BSI statistics, Part 17 of Annex II for IF statistics, and Part 23 of Annex II for IC statistics.





(*7)  This is in accordance with the ESA 2010 and other international statistical standards."
                        

(*8)  Nevertheless, in the case of IF statistics, Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38) requests separate reporting of new issuance and redemptions of IF shares/units during the reporting month"
                        

(*9)  The definition and classification of ‘other changes’ is largely consistent with the ESA 2010. ‘Reclassifications and other adjustments’ is broadly equivalent to ‘other changes in the volume of assets and liabilities’ (K.1-K.6, see paragraphs 6.03-25), whereas ‘revaluations’ may be transferred to ‘nominal holding gains and losses’ (K.7, see paragraphs 6.26-64). For BSI statistics, an important deviation concerns the inclusion of ‘loan write-offs’ within ‘revaluations’ (and specifically as revaluations due to changes in prices), whereas in the ESA 2010 they are generally regarded as ‘other changes in volume’ (paragraph 6.14) — with the exception of losses realised at the sale of loans; these losses, which equal the difference between the transaction price and the balance sheet carrying amount of the loans, should be recorded as a revaluation (paragraph 6.58). The inclusion of ‘loan write-offs’ within ‘revaluations’ also deviates from the international investment position (i.i.p.) rules. In the i.i.p. these are treated as ‘other adjustments’ and not as ‘price or exchange rate changes’. For IF statistics, loans ‘write-offs/write-downs’ are not requested."
                        

(*10)  The adjustments corresponding to the ECB's own balance sheet are reported by the ECB Directorate-General Administration.’;"

Flow adjustments: special features in IC statistics


Section 1: Introduction









1.


For IC statistics, NCBs submit revaluations adjustments, covering both revaluations due to price and exchange rate changes and reclassification adjustments for all items on the IC balance sheet, in accordance with Article 26a. In this process, NCBs may need to calculate and/or estimate the adjustments not reported by the ICs. This includes those data where the corresponding stock series are reported on an item-by-item basis, those which are not considered ‘minimum requirements’ in Table 3a and 3b of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) and data on insurance technical reserves.





Section 2: Revaluation adjustments









1.


Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) allows flexibility in terms of the type of data needed to calculate the revaluation adjustments of assets and liabilities and the form in which these data are collected and compiled. The decision on the method is left to the NCBs.












2.


The following two options exist for deriving revaluation adjustments for securities collected on a security-by-security basis. NCBs may follow a similar approach for assets other than securities when they collect item-by-item data.






—


ICs report security-by-security information that allows NCBs to derive revaluation adjustments: ICs report to NCBs the information required by paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 of Tables 2.1 and 2.2 of Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) on a security-by-security basis. This information permits NCBs to obtain accurate information on the ‘revaluation adjustments’ to be submitted to the ECB. When this option is followed, NCBs may derive the ‘revaluation adjustments’ in accordance with the common Eurosystem method, i.e. the ‘flow-derivation method’, as described in the IC manual accompanying the Regulation and this Guideline,










—


ICs directly report transactions on a security-by-security basis to the NCB: ICs report the cumulated amounts of purchases and sales of securities which have occurred during the reference period as set out in paragraphs 1 and 3 of Tables 2.1 and 2.2 of Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1374/2014 (ECB/2014/50) on a security-by-security basis. NCBs calculate the ‘revaluation adjustments’ by taking the difference between end-period stocks and removing the transactions, and submit the revaluation adjustments to the ECB in accordance with this Guideline.
















3.


For insurance technical reserves maintained by ICs, the following two options exist for deriving approximations of revaluation adjustments:






—


ICs report aggregated adjustments or transactions according to the NCBs' instructions. NCBs that choose this method aggregate the adjustments reported by ICs for the submission of data to the ECB,










—


NCBs derive approximations based on data provided by ICs.
















4.


For assets and liabilities other than those collected on an item-by-item basis and insurance technical reserves maintained by ICs, the following three options exist for deriving revaluation adjustments:






—


ICs report aggregated adjustments: ICs report the adjustments applicable to each item, reflecting the valuation changes due to price and exchange rate changes. NCBs that choose this method aggregate the adjustments reported by ICs for the submission of data to the ECB,










—


ICs report aggregated transactions: ICs accumulate transactions during the quarter and transmit the value of purchases and sales to the NCB. NCBs that receive transactions data calculate the ‘revaluation adjustments’ as a residual from the difference between the stocks and the transactions, and submit the revaluation adjustment to the ECB in accordance with this Guideline, or










—


NCBs derive approximations based on data provided by ICs.’;

PART 3

Definitions and refinement of reporting instructions







RIAD code


The unique identification code for any organisational unit in RIAD comprised of two parts: ‘host’ and ‘id’.
The values for the two parts combined ensure that this primary key is unique:






—


2-digit country ISO-3166 country codes,










—


free string.





[compulsory item for creating an entity in RIAD]





Alias identifiers


Open list of a multitude of identification codes consisting of identifiers that may or may not adhere to any (semi) industry standard. As it can include pure ‘national’ codes the entire list is not compulsory for all data-providing institutions. Examples are national business register codes, the EuroGroups Register code, the Legal Entity Identifier (as available) and the ‘BIC’ code.
In order to be operational in the data exchange between an NCB and RIAD the identifier must be registered in a specific code list of the system.




ISIN


‘International Securities Identifying Number’ as defined in the ISO 6166. In RIAD the ISIN code appears in two ways:






—


in the case of IFs and FVCs the reporting requirements include the obligation to report (all) outstanding (not redeemed) securities issued by an financial corporation,










—


as each security issued by a corporation is equally identifying the entity in an unique way, any single ISIN code of issued (and possibly) quoted shares or other outstanding debt securities can be used to identify the organisational unit itself.

PART 4

Data Transmission

NCBs can provide (updates of) reference data online or in batch mode via RIAD, in accordance with one of the formats presented in the document entitled ’Exchange Specification for the RIAD Data Exchange System’. The insertion of new entities in RIAD (as well as exceptional deletion from the database) is also possible in online or in batch mode.
RIAD takes a parsimonious approach to the management of reference data, which means that any change in the reference data of an individual entity can be applied for specific (single) attributes. Except in the case of material error, no unit registered in RIAD is erased; its lifespan is determined by entering a creation or closure date. Modifications of single attributes are implemented via the change (of the validity range) of specific values.’;

                              Non-life insurance corporations are insurance corporations primarily providing non-life insurance policies.










 



Life insurance corporations are insurance corporations primarily providing life insurance policies.










 



Composite insurance corporations are insurance corporations providing both life and non-life insurance policies, with no prevailing policy in favour of one or the other.










 



Reinsurance corporations are insurance corporations primarily providing reinsurance policies.










 



Life insurance technical reserves of which accepted reinsurance represent the amount of capital that the IC holds in order to meet future claims stemming from its life reinsurance obligations as defined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 (*11).

(*1)  For NCBs, the country of residence of the issuing sector is the NCB's country of residence

(*4)  If OBS_STATUS is reported as ‘B’ a value has to be reported under the attribute OBS_PRE_BREAK.

(*5)  The observation status ‘E’ is to be used for all observations or periods of data that are the result of estimates and cannot be considered as normal values.

(*6)  The four objects observation value plus OBS_STATUS, OBS_CONF and OBS_PRE_BREAK are treated as one entity. This means that NCBs are obliged to send all complementary information for an observation. (When attributes are not reported, their previous values are overwritten by default values.)’;

(*7)  This is in accordance with the ESA 2010 and other international statistical standards.

(*8)  Nevertheless, in the case of IF statistics, Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 (ECB/2013/38) requests separate reporting of new issuance and redemptions of IF shares/units during the reporting month

(*9)  The definition and classification of ‘other changes’ is largely consistent with the ESA 2010. ‘Reclassifications and other adjustments’ is broadly equivalent to ‘other changes in the volume of assets and liabilities’ (K.1-K.6, see paragraphs 6.03-25), whereas ‘revaluations’ may be transferred to ‘nominal holding gains and losses’ (K.7, see paragraphs 6.26-64). For BSI statistics, an important deviation concerns the inclusion of ‘loan write-offs’ within ‘revaluations’ (and specifically as revaluations due to changes in prices), whereas in the ESA 2010 they are generally regarded as ‘other changes in volume’ (paragraph 6.14) — with the exception of losses realised at the sale of loans; these losses, which equal the difference between the transaction price and the balance sheet carrying amount of the loans, should be recorded as a revaluation (paragraph 6.58). The inclusion of ‘loan write-offs’ within ‘revaluations’ also deviates from the international investment position (i.i.p.) rules. In the i.i.p. these are treated as ‘other adjustments’ and not as ‘price or exchange rate changes’. For IF statistics, loans ‘write-offs/write-downs’ are not requested.

(*10)  The adjustments corresponding to the ECB's own balance sheet are reported by the ECB Directorate-General Administration.’;
