In particular, for credit institutions subject to the ESCB reserve requirement system, it is essential that the Central Bank of Luxembourg receives the aforementioned monthly statistical report within the deadlines described in the table above in order to determine the amount of the reserve requirement to be maintained by each concerned institution.

The reserve requirement of an institution is calculated based on the data from its monthly statistical balance sheet S 1.1 established on the last day of the month preceding the start of the maintenance period. The maintenance period during which each credit institution must satisfy its reserve requirement obligation on average (maintenance period) begins on the 24th day of the month and ends on the 23rd day of the following month.

Credit institutions are reminded that revisions of the reserve requirement amount must reach the Central Bank of Luxembourg by the 14th calendar day of the month following the month in which the relevant maintenance period begins. If the 14th calendar day falls on a local holiday, the revision must reach the Central Bank of Luxembourg on the working day preceding the relevant local holiday.
