The Eurosystem Integrated
Reporting Framework ? an overview

Background
European Union (EU) banks face a whole range of data reporting obligations,
including for statistical, resolution and prudential information.
Existing ECB statistical regulations specify the information that must be reported, but
not how the actual reporting process is to be carried out.

submitted by reporting agents to NCBs.
This arrangement dates back to when the ECB was set up in 1998 and was justified
at the time, as it meant that statistical reporting could be founded on well-established
national reporting frameworks.

Under the new paradigm, cross-border banks could unify the

The scope of the IReF
The IReF seeks to integrate existing ESCB statistical data requirements for banks as
far as possible into a single, standardised reporting framework applicable across the
euro area.
The feasibility of aligning the IReF
more closely with the Financial Reporting (FINREP) requirements applicable at solo
level11 is also being assessed.
Some NCBs have
developed an integrated reporting framework for investment funds (covering both
MMFs and non-MMFs).
The Eurosystem reviewed the results of the CBA to identify optimal features for
banks, the Eurosystem and its users.
This time frame will give reporting agents and the Eurosystem enough lead time to
prepare the legal and technical framework without unduly delaying the expected
reduction in the reporting burden.

and ?The EBA?s feasibility study on integrated reporting system provides a long-term vision for
increasing efficiencies and reducing reporting costs?, EBA, December 2021.
The Eurosystem is already cooperating closely with the banking industry to optimise
reporting and reduce the overall reporting burden via the Banks? Integrated Reporting

The IReF describes statistical requirements in a redundancy-free layer
