AnaCredit Reporting Manual Summary

1. Core Content and Purpose

The AnaCredit Reporting Manual provides detailed guidance on the reporting requirements outlined in Regulation (EU) 2016/867 (AnaCredit Regulation), issued by the European Central Bank (ECB) on 18 May 2016. It is designed to assist reporting agents and national authorities in understanding and implementing the methodology for collecting granular credit and credit risk data across the Eurosystem.

The Manual is non-binding and serves as a comprehensive guide, clarifying definitions, reporting principles, and examples related to the AnaCredit Regulation. It does not introduce any new requirements beyond those defined in the Regulation.

2. Scope of the Manual

2.1 Covered Reporting Requirements

• The Manual focuses solely on common reporting requirements as outlined in the AnaCredit Regulation.
• It does not cover national extensions or additional reporting obligations beyond the Regulation.

2.2 National Arrangements

• National Central Banks (NCBs) may extend reporting requirements beyond the AnaCredit Regulation for their own statutory purposes, in line with national law.
• The Manual does not address the format, timeliness, or national implementation of such extensions.
• NCBs are responsible for communicating any deviations from the baseline requirements.

2.3 Areas of National Discretion

• Certain requirements are left to the discretion of NCBs, such as:
  • Exemption of foreign branches from reporting Template 1.
  • Exemption of resident foreign branches from reporting Template 2.
  • Exemption from reporting counterparty reference data if obtained from alternative sources.
  • Derogations for small reporting agents based on loan amounts.
  • Reduced reporting frequency for small reporting agents.
  • Exemption from reporting certain data attributes in Annexes II and III.
  • Exemption from reporting data of non-resident foreign branches.

3. Structure of the Manual

The Manual is divided into three main parts:

3.1 Part I – General Methodology

• Explains the methodology for AnaCredit reporting, including:
  • Reporting population and reference population.
  • Reporting obligations and accounting standards.
  • Reduced data requirements under Article 7.
  • Derogations for small reporting agents.

3.2 Part II – Datasets and Data Attributes

• Details all reportable datasets and data attributes.
• Provides reporting instructions, definitions, applicable values, and examples for each data attribute.
• Discusses reporting frequency and specific reporting qualifications.

3.3 Part III – Case Studies

• Presents case studies and special scenarios to illustrate reporting challenges and methodological approaches.
• Includes complete report examples and reporting instructions for specific cases like securitisations, credit limit structures, and reverse repurchase agreements.

3.4 Annexes

• Includes validation rules, data quality checks, and revisions.
• Provides complementary information for reporting agents.

4. Key Entities and Concepts

4.1 Reporting Agents

• Resident credit institutions and resident foreign branches of credit institutions are required to report.
• Reporting agents are obliged to report, regardless of supervision status under CRD IV.
• A reporting agent is resident in only one reporting Member State.

4.2 Observed Agents

• Observed agents are institutions or entities whose credit or servicing activities are reported by reporting agents.
• Observed agents may be:
  • The domestic part of a reporting agent.
  • A resident foreign branch of the reporting agent.
  • A non-resident foreign branch of the reporting agent.

4.3 Institutional Units

• An institutional unit is an economic entity with decision-making autonomy.

• It must:

  • Own goods and assets.
  • Take economic decisions and engage in activities.
  • Incur liabilities and enter into contracts.
  • Maintain a complete set of accounts.

• A credit institution may consist of one or more institutional units.

• The domestic part includes the headquarters and domestic branch offices.

• A foreign branch is a legally dependent part of a legal entity in a different country.

• A credit institution can have only one foreign branch in a given country, and all branch offices in that country are considered one institutional unit.

5. Main Reporting Principles

• The AnaCredit database is a common dataset shared among Eurosystem members.
• Consistency across countries is crucial to ensure accurate and comparable data.
• Reporting obligations are based on the reference population (observed agents) and the reporting population (reporting agents).
• The data model includes:
  • Instrument entity.
  • Protection entity.
  • Counterparty entity.
• Reportable datasets are defined based on the conceptual model and include mutual relationships between data elements.
• Reporting frequency and methods are outlined in the Manual.

6. Additional Relevant Information

• The AnaCredit Guideline is a legally binding document for NCBs, detailing their reporting obligations to the ECB.
• The Single Data Dictionary (SDD) and Banks' Integrated Reporting Dictionary (BIRD) provide technical specifications for data flows between NCBs and the ECB.
• The BIRD is a complementary tool for banks, helping them extract and transform data into final regulatory figures.
• National documentation may also provide relevant information on reporting formats and timelines.

7. Summary of Main Sections

8. Conclusion

The AnaCredit Reporting Manual serves as a guidance document for reporting agents, data compilers, and national authorities, ensuring methodological consistency in the collection of granular credit data. It emphasizes the importance of alignment across reporting Member States to support transparent and comparable credit risk data. While the Manual outlines baseline requirements, NCBs retain discretion in implementing national extensions and reporting formats.
