Abstract
The demand for more complete, timely and disaggregated information — at an individual institution and even instrument level — became pressing during the financial crisis. As a result, central banking statistics moved towards granular data collection, eg as regards loans (with analytical credit datasets (AnaCredit)) and securities, strengthening policymaking in various respects, from monetary policy to macro-prudential policies supported by in-depth economic research and analyses. Reporting agents also benefit from a higher degree of standardisation, comparability and stability of reporting over time. Significant returns on investment are expected to materialise for both policy-makers and the financial industry through enhancing cross-country comparability and limiting redundancies in the data collection. With the banks’ integrated reporting dictionary (BIRD) and the integrated reporting framework (IReF) the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) is acting to gradually automate and optimise reporting from banks parallel to the progressing digitalisation in the financial industry.
