The Bank of Spain issued Circular 5/2003 to amend Circular 3/1998, mandating that approved valuation companies and services submit updated statistical and financial statements electronically with period-accumulated data. The regulation standardizes valuation unit definitions, requires monetary figures to be reported in thousands of euros, and establishes protocols for sharing aggregated valuation data with insurance and securities regulators. It aligns reporting requirements with the new ECO/805/2003 valuation standards, setting the initial quarterly submission deadline for the second quarter of 2004.
