Bundesbank Updates Plausibility Checks for SHS Reporting
Bundesbank updated the plausibility checks for group data under the securities holdings statistics (SHS) reporting. Changes to the previous version have been marked in red. The included plausibility checks are performed immediately after the electronic submission of the XML file via Bundesbank ExtraNet. An error in one of the plausibility checks leads to the rejection of submitted report and the delivery of a corresponding error log.
Securities investment statistics collect securities holder information about sector and group data. The SHS Group data collection provides information on holdings of securities by individual banking groups. SHS, collected on a security-by-security basis, provide information on securities held by selected categories of euro area investors, broken down by instrument type, issuer country, and further classifications.
