This Guideline establishes the reporting requirements for NCBs on statistical information to be reported on balance sheet items and interest rates of monetary financial institutions (MFIs), balance sheet items of non-MFI credit institutions, the minimum reserves and structural financial indicators of credit institutions, and statistical information on post office giro institutions (POGIs) and central government required for the compilation of monetary aggregates and counterparts. In particular, this Guideline specifies the information to be reported by the NCBs to the ECB, the treatment of that information, the frequency and timing of that reporting and the standards applied to that reporting.

For the purposes of this Guideline, the definitions in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2), Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/34) and Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 1074/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/39) apply.

1 Where NCBs grant derogations to MFIs in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 of Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2), NCBs shall gross up the statistical information collected pursuant to that Regulation to represent the entire reporting population for the purposes of compiling the monthly and quarterly statistical information to be reported to the ECB in accordance with this Section.

2 Where NCBs gross up statistical information pursuant to paragraph 1, they shall apply at least one of the following: (a) for information on missing breakdowns, estimates shall be derived by applying ratios based on a subset of the actual reporting population considered to be most representative of the tail institutions as follows: (i) NCBs of Member States whose contribution to the aggregated MFI balance sheet of the euro area exceeds 2 % shall determine this subset so that the total balance sheet of the entities in the subset does not exceed 35 % of the national aggregated MFI balance sheet; (ii) NCBs of Member States whose contribution to the aggregated MFI balance sheet of the euro area does not exceed 2 % shall determine this subset so that the total balance sheet of the entities in the sub-set does not exceed 35 % of the national aggregated MFI balance sheet, unless the grossing-up according to this approach would incur significant costs for the NCB, in which case the NCB may apply ratios based on the actual reporting population instead; (iii) the requirements to determine subsets of the actual reporting population referred to in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall not apply when the balance sheets of the institutions to which the derogations are granted account does not exceed 1 % of the national aggregated MFI balance sheet. In such cases the NCB may apply ratios based on the actual reporting population instead; (b) in applying point (a), both the tail institutions and the subset of the actual reporting population may be subdivided into different groups by reference to the type of institution; (c) where the combined contribution of MMFs granted derogations pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) exceeds 30 % of the national MMF balance sheet, NCBs shall gross up the statistical information relating to MMFs separately from deposit-taking corporations and in accordance with one of the following: (i) NCBs shall use the statistical information collected from MMFs that are not granted derogations pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) where that statistical information is sufficiently representative for the purposes of grossing up; (ii) NCBs shall estimate a balance sheet for the MMF sector from alternative sources of information, at least once a year, and use it as the basis for grossing up where all MMFs are granted derogations pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2), or if the statistical information collected from MMFs that are not granted derogations pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) is not sufficiently representative for the purposes of grossing up; (d) where statistical information is collected pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) at a lower frequency or with later timeliness than the statistical information to be reported to the ECB pursuant to this Guideline, NCBs shall estimate the statistical information for the missing periods by either: (i) repeating the information where the results have proven to be adequate; or (ii) applying appropriate statistical estimation techniques to take account of any trends or seasonal patterns. For the purposes of points (a) to (d), the ratios or any other intermediate calculation used for grossing up may be derived from information obtained from supervisory authorities where that information is sufficiently aligned with the statistical information to be grossed up.

3 Where NCBs have granted a derogation to MFIs pursuant to Article 9(7) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2), they shall gross up by estimating the quarterly statistical information to be reported to the ECB pursuant to Article 4 as follows: (a) where NCBs collect statistical information from MFIs pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) at a lower frequency than quarterly, they may use that statistical information for the purposes of estimating the statistical information for the missing periods, or they may apply appropriate statistical estimation techniques to take account of any trends or seasonal patterns; (b) where NCBs collect statistical information from MFIs pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) at a more aggregated level, they may use that statistical information for the purposes of estimating the statistical information to be reported to the ECB pursuant to Article 4, or they may use suitable breakdowns as a basis for such estimates; (c) where NCBs collect quarterly statistical information pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) from MFIs which covers at least 80% of deposits, loans and debt securities holdings and investment fund shares/units, collectively, of residents in the non-euro area Member State in respect of which the derogation applies, they shall estimate the statistical information to be reported on that basis; or (d) where NCBs estimate the statistical information to be reported on the basis of alternative sources, they shall make the necessary adjustments to take into account differing concepts and definitions applied pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) as compared to those applied in those alternative sources.

1 NCBs shall report to the ECB the monthly statistical information referred to in this Section by close of business on the 15th working day following the end of the month to which the information relates, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/379 (ECB/2021/2) and the reporting calendar referred to in Article 32.

Derogations granted by NCBs pursuant to the first subparagraph shall be without prejudice to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 1072/2013 (ECB/2013/34).

3 Where derogations are granted pursuant to paragraph 2, the thresholds referred to therein shall be verified by NCBs on an annual basis.

1 Where the statistical information on MIR received by the NCBs does not represent the actual reporting population due to the use of sampling, NCBs shall select and maintain the sample and gross up statistical information on the new business volumes to ensure that 100% of the reporting population is represented, as specified in Part 2 of Annex III to this Guideline.
