Guideline for the Preparation and Submission of Periodic Statistical Reports by Distributors from Third Countries
The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa) issued this guideline to standardize the electronic preparation and submission of semi-annual and annual statistical reports by insurance and reinsurance distributors from third countries operating in Croatia. It mandates the use of specific XML and PDF formats, defines precise submission deadlines (July 31 for semi-annual, March 31 for annual), and provides detailed field-by-field instructions for completing the SI-TZ general data, policy/guarantee, SP-1-O, and SP-1 RE statistical forms. Reporting obligors must ensure accurate data entry, proper electronic or qualified signatures where required, and compliance with Hanfa's prescribed XML schema to fulfill their supervisory reporting obligations.
