The European Central Bank amends Guideline (EU) 2021/833 to include class 1 investment firms in consolidated banking data statistical aggregates, aligning with recent prudential regulation changes. The amendment establishes a framework for the ECB to centrally aggregate and verify statistical data upon request from national central banks, thereby replacing their previous verification duties with designated contact persons facilitating data quality. Additionally, the guideline updates reporting requirements to reflect the EBA's reporting framework 4.0 and removes the obligation to compile aggregated statistics on large exposures to reduce the reporting burden.
