The implementation of the ECB’s AnaCredit Regulation in Malta

The AnaCredit project (i.e. the analytical credit datasets) is an obligation which stems from the European Central Bank's Regulation (EU) 2016/13 of May 2016. This Regulation defines the framework for the collection of credit and credit risk data from credit institutions in line with the requirements laid out in the Regulation. The first reporting of counterparty reference data to the ECB will take place as from January and not later than March 2018 while the actual reporting of the credit data is expected as from October 2018 (reference data September 2018).

The AnaCredit dataset will contain granular information on individual corporate bank loans in the euro area, harmonised across all Member States subject to a threshold of €25,000. The Regulation splits the reporting data into 2 templates. Template 1 comprises five tables: (a) Counterparty reference data, (b) Instrument data, (c) Financial Data, (d) Counterparty-instrument data, and (e) Joint liabilities data. Template 2 comprises: (a) Accounting data, (b) Protection received data, (c) Instrument-protection received data, (d) Counterparty risk data, and (e) Counterparty default data. Different reporting timelines apply. For more information kindly visit the links below.
