BCL Updates Documentation for AnaCredit Reporting
BCL updated the instructions, list of reporting agents, validation rules (version 1.5.1), and Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) diagrams (version 1.0.4) for AnaCredit reporting. Version 1.5.1 of the validation rules are applicable immediately, since no new rules have been added and the changes relate to existing rules. SDMX version 1.0.4 encompasses updated technical specifications, structure of cubes, facets, and subdomains. Version 1.0.4 of the SDMX diagrams will be applicable and mandatory from the reference date of September 30, 2020. Therefore, from October 01, 2020, all submissions and re-submissions must be reported according to version 1.0.4. Re-submissions should always be submitted using the latest version of the SDMX schema in effect, not the version of the SDMX schema that were valid on the re-submission reference date.
The document on technical specifications describes the technical format for the collection of the AnaCredit reporting at BCL. It is based on the Data Exchange Format document provided by ECB to the national central banks for the secondary reporting. The technical format is based on the Single Multidimensional Metadata Model (SMCube) methodology and on the format used by ECB based on SDMX-ML (part of the SDMX 2.1 technical standard). Version 2.4.2 of the reporting instructions contains changes that cover data flow schema update, clarification regarding the types of quality reports, DQI sub-chapter, and clarification regarding international organizations.
