AnaCredit

[1] The decision by the ECB to go ahead and create what is now known as AnaCredit was made in February 2014.

While some of the data could be also helpful for prudential supervision, AnaCredit is not set up to meet banking supervisory needs, and no specific requirements pertaining to European Banking Supervision are included in the Regulation.

The project was initiated in 2011, and data collection is scheduled to start in September 2018.

Loans and deposits are the only instruments that will be considered, with credit derivatives and off-balance-sheet items being excluded from the scope of the regulation.

[9] Loans and deposits include: A given instrument has to be reported if it is held by a debtor whose total commitment amount for all relevant instruments equals or exceeds €25,000 at the reporting reference date.
