GUIDELINE (EU) 2019/2217 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 28 November 2019
amending Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 on the legal framework for accounting and financial reporting in the European System of Central Banks (ECB/2019/34)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 12.1, 14.3 and 26.4 thereof,
Having regard to the contribution of the General Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) pursuant to the second and third indents of Article 46.2 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank,
Whereas:
(1) |
Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/34) (1) lays down the rules for standardising the accounting and financial reporting of operations undertaken by the national central banks. |
(2) |
Clarification of Annex IV to Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34) is required in relation to the financial reporting of index-linked securities for which the indexation component is included in the carrying value at quarter end and year end, the reporting of reverse operations with financial institutions other than credit institutions and in the context of the valuation principle used for pension-related provisions. |
(3) |
The scope of the provision that NCBs may establish pursuant to Article 8 of Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34) should be extended to cover all financial risks. |
(4) |
Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34) needs to establish valuation rules for marketable investment funds distinct from those applicable to marketable equity shares. |
(5) |
The financial reporting of transactions with counterparties receiving emergency liquidity assistance in the form of collateralised loans should be clarified by explicitly referring to these operations in Annex IV to Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34). |
(6) |
Therefore, Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34) should be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS GUIDELINE:
Article 1
Amendments
Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34) is amended as follows:
(1) |
Article 5(4) is replaced by the following: ‘4. With the exception of quarter end and year end accounting adjustments and of items disclosed under “Other assets” and “Other liabilities”, amounts presented as part of the daily financial reporting for Eurosystem financial reporting purposes shall only show cash movements in balance sheet items. At quarter end and year end, the amortisation and any indexation amount arising on index-linked bonds shall also be included in the carrying value of securities.’; |
(2) |
Article 8 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 8 Provisions for financial risks Taking into due consideration the nature of the activities of the NCBs, an NCB may establish a provision for financial risks in its balance sheet. The NCB shall decide on the size and use of the provision on the basis of a reasoned estimate of the NCB’s risk exposure.’; |
(3) |
Article 11 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 11 Marketable equity shares 1. This Article shall apply to marketable equity shares, whether the transactions are conducted directly by a reporting entity or by its agent, with the exception of activities conducted for participating interests, investments in subsidiaries or significant interests. 2. Marketable equity shares denominated in foreign currencies and disclosed under “Other assets” shall not form part of the overall currency position but shall be part of a separate currency holding. The calculation of the related foreign exchange gains and losses may be performed either on a net average cost method or an average cost method. 3. The revaluation of marketable equity shares shall be performed in accordance with Article 9(3). There shall be no netting between different equity shares. 4. Transactions shall be recorded in the balance sheet at transaction price. 5. Brokerage commission may be recorded either as a transaction cost to be included in the cost of the asset, or as an expense in the profit and loss account. 6. The amount of the dividend purchased shall be included in the cost of the marketable equity shares. At ex-dividend date, the amount of the dividend purchased may be treated as a separate item until the payment of the dividend has been received. 7. Accruals on dividends shall not be booked at the end-of-period as they are already reflected in the market price of the equity shares with the exception of equities quoted ex-dividend. 8. Rights issues shall be treated as a separate asset when issued. The acquisition cost shall be calculated based on the equity’s existing average cost, on the new acquisition’s strike price, and on the proportion between existing and new equities. Alternatively, the price of the right may be based on the right’s value in the market, the equity’s existing average cost and the equity’s market price before the rights issue.’; |
(4) |
the following Article 11a is inserted: ‘Article 11a Marketable investment funds 1. This Article shall apply to marketable investment funds which meet the following criteria:
2. Marketable investment funds denominated in foreign currencies and disclosed under “Other assets” shall not form part of the overall currency position but shall be part of a separate currency holding. The calculation of the related foreign exchange gains and losses may be performed either according to a net average cost method or an average cost method. 3. The revaluation of marketable investment funds shall be performed on a net basis, and not on underlying assets. There shall be no netting between different marketable investment funds. 4. Transactions shall be recorded in the balance sheet at transaction price. 5. Brokerage commission may be recorded either as a transaction cost to be included in the cost of the asset, or as an expense in the profit and loss account. 6. The amount of the dividend purchased shall be included in the cost of the marketable investment fund. At ex-dividend date, the amount of the dividend purchased may be treated as a separate item until the payment of the dividend has been received. 7. Accruals on dividends of the marketable investment fund shall not be booked at end-of-period as they are already reflected in the market price of the marketable investment fund with the exception of equities quoted ex-dividend.’; |
