4 J. No. 2/120/ (12) 1 APPLICATION This reporting standard is applicable to the following entities (which are generally referred to below as supervised entities): deposit banks foreign branches of deposit banks foreign credit institutions' branches with deposit bank operations in Finland the Savings Bank Inspectorate central bodies as referred to in the Act on the Amalgamation of Deposit Banks (599/2010).

5 J. No. 2/120/ (12) 2 OBJECTIVES This standard defines supervised entities' reporting obligations in respect of liquidity risk. The reporting standard refers to the standard on the management of liquidity risk, issued within section 4 Capital adequacy and risk management of the Financial Supervisory Authority's (FIN-FSA) set of regulations. The objective of the standard is to ensure that the Financial Supervisory Authority can acquire information on the structure of supervised entities' assets and liabilities and liquidity position. Legislation on credit institutions requires that credit institutions do not take such risks in their operations that could essentially jeopardise the credit institution's capital adequacy or liquidity. Provisions are necessary on the one hand to protect the public eg from the risk of losing repayable funds and on the other hand to supervise the reliability and stability of the banking system.

6 J. No. 2/120/ (12) 3 LEGAL BASIS The regulation on FIN-FSA is based on section 18, subsection 2 and section 60, subsection 5 of the Act on the Financial Supervisory Authority (878/2008).

7 J. No. 2/120/ (12) 4 PREPARATION OF THE REPORT AND SUBMISSION TO FIN-FSA 4.1 Content of the report The reporting standard concerns information used to monitor credit institutions' liquidity risk. The collection of data comprises the assets and liabilities in the supervised entity's balance sheet broken down by maturity class. The information shall be submitted in accordance with Stage 2 (Virati 2) of the standardized data collection procedure of the authorities, and in the manner more closely specified in the data collection files. Statistics Finland, the Bank of Finland, and the Financial Supervisory Authority have jointly approved and provided supervised entities with Stage 2 data collection files. 4.2 Banks submitting their reports directly to FIN-FSA Commercial banks, foreign branches of deposit banks and Finnish branches of foreign credit institutions shall submit liquidity risk information directly to FIN- FSA. If limited liability savings and cooperative banks do not submit their information to the Financial Supervisory Authority in aggregate form, they shall also be obliged to submit their liquidity risk information directly to FIN- FSA.

8 J. No. 2/120/ (12) 4.3 Banks submitting their reports to FIN-FSA in centralised manner Savings banks Savings banks shall submit their data on liquidity risk to the Savings Bank Inspectorate by the time set by it, unless the Financial Supervisory Authority decides otherwise in the case of an individual bank. The Savings Bank Inspectorate shall pass on the aggregate data to FIN-FSA Member credit institutions in the amalgamation of deposit banks Credit institutions that are members of the central body referred to in the Act on the Amalgamation of Deposit Banks shall submit their data on liquidity risk to the central body by the time set by it, unless the Financial Supervisory Authority decides otherwise in the case of an individual member credit institution. The central body shall pass on the aggregate data to FIN-FSA Cooperative banks not belonging to the amalgamation of deposit banks Recommendation The Financial Supervisory Authority recommends that cooperative banks that are not members of the central body referred to in the Act on the Amalgamation of Deposit Banks submit their information on liquidity risk to the Association of Local Cooperative Banks, which submits information on all these banks to FIN-FSA in aggregate form. If information is not submitted in aggregate form, a cooperative bank not belonging to the amalgamation shall submit its information in the required format directly to the Financial Supervisory Authority. 4.4 Submission of information for supervisory purposes Application guideline Detailed information on the data collection procedure is also available on the website of Statistics Finland ( The reports comprising information as required in the detailed instructions on the data collection procedure shall be submitted to FIN-FSA as follows: reporting dates 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
