Publication of supervisory data

The dataset includes information on banks directly supervised by ECB Banking Supervision that are designated as significant institutions (SIs).

The sample of SIs considered for each reporting period includes banks that are reporting COREP (capital adequacy information) and FINREP (financial information) at that point in time. For each bank in the sample, reporting is always considered at the highest level of consolidation within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).

As of the end of 2015, COREP and FINREP data are available for all SIs at the highest level of consolidation within the SSM. This includes those that prepare their consolidated accounts under national accounting standards (nGAAP) as well as SIs that report only at the individual level. As a result, the sample of banks used for each reference period currently covers all significant institutions within the SSM– it is also relatively stable. Nevertheless, changes in the sample can occur over time after amendments to the list of SIs, which are made after ECB assessments, as well as after mergers and acquisitions.

Up to the end of the reference period Q4 2019, the tables showing information on the liquidity coverage ratio were derived by aggregating data from stand-alone entities and from banking groups where the ultimate EU parent is within the SSM. As of the reference period Q1 2020, the liquidity sample matches the full sample.

The tables present different aggregates that offer insights into developments over time, country breakdowns and different classifications.

All presented data match the submissions provided to the ECB at the cut-off date specified in the table above. As banks may resubmit data for previous quarters, figures shown may differ from previous publications. Moreover, banks may submit unaudited end-of-financial-year figures (i.e. figures that have not received an external auditor’s opinion). However, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014, banks are required to resubmit audited figures wherever these deviate from the submitted unaudited figures.

The Pillar 3 information comprises key solvency, leverage and (as of year-end 2020) liquidity coverage ratios for all significant institutions and one or more selected disclosure templates from Part Eight of the CRR. For the end-2017 reference date, the ECB published template EU OV1 (Overview of risk-weighted assets), while for the end-2018 reference date, the ECB published the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) disclosure template (EU LIQ1). For the end-2019 reference date, the ECB published Template A on encumbered and unencumbered assets and Template B on collateral received pursuant to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2295. The ratios and the data in the table are neither endorsed nor approved by the ECB and are subject to review when they differ from the ratios submitted by significant institutions as part of their regulatory reporting.

In addition to presenting the statistics by reference period and by country, the significant institutions have been classified according to the following:

• business model
• activities (geographical diversification)
• scale of operations (size)
• risk (overall risk and vulnerabilities based on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) scores)
