Bundesbank Releases Version 2.1 Specifications for AnaCredit Reporting
Bundesbank updated certain supporting documents for AnaCredit reporting. The updated documents are code list, technical specification of master data and credit data, technical specifications for “Table 6," and technical reporting schema. These documents are part of the documentation Version 2.1 and will be valid from February 01, 2020. Bundesbank also updated the list of international organizations (also valid from February 01, 2020).
AnaCredit regulation (EU Regulation No 2016/867) on the collection of granular credit and credit risk data was approved in May 2016. Analytical Credit Dataset, or AnaCredit, comprises the collection of granular credit data based on harmonized ECB statistical reporting requirements. The objective is to establish a common granular credit database shared between the Eurosystem members, comprising input data for all euro area member states. The AnaCredit data will support the ECB and central banks in performing their central banking and supervisory functions, including monetary policy analysis and operations, risk management, financial stability surveillance, statistics, macro-prudential policy, and research.
