Guidelines for Preparation and Electronic Submission of Overnight Interbank Money Market Loan Data
The National Bank of Serbia mandates that commercial banks electronically submit daily XML-formatted data on overnight interbank money market loans to calculate the BEONIA reference rate. The guidelines specify strict technical requirements, including standardized file naming conventions, mandatory XML tags for transaction type, counterparty identification, loan value, and interest rate, alongside precise validation rules and error codes. Banks must transmit these files via a dedicated FTP server, ensuring daily reporting on business days or submitting a header-only file when no qualifying transactions occur, with technical support provided by the NBS Central Reception Office.
