FFFS 2023:24
Information on position – Amortisation and impairment of loans This information is reported if the nominal value of loans has been reduced since the previous year’s annual or quarterly report as a result of amortisation and impairment. An impairment is reported as a positive value. A reversal of previous amortisation or impairment is reported as a negative value. Amortisation and impairment are reported net. The information on position is only applied for mortgages and loans (CIC 8). Information on assets The following information supplements the asset items in the common EU supervisory reporting:
– Issuer sector according to ESA 2010
– Country of registration for UCITS and alternative investment funds – The instrument classification according to ESA 2010 – Date of issue. The information supplements the following asset items:
– Government bonds – (CIC 1)
– Corporate bonds – (CIC 2)
– Equity – (CIC 3)
– Collective Investment Undertakings – (CIC 4) – Structured notes – (CIC 5) – Collateralised securities – (CIC 6) – Mortgages and loans – (CIC 8). Issuer sector according to ESA 2010 The issuer sector according to ESA 2010 refers to the classification by institutional sector in the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Sector refers to the issuer of the security or loan. Sector according to EAS does not correspond to the industry classification that is used in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/894 and that is designated “Issuer Sector”. The Swedish implementation of ESA 2010 is called Statistic Sweden’s Standard Classification by Institutional Sector for 2014 (INSEKT 2014). A list of the institutions in Sweden that are monetary financial institutions is published by the Riksbank. The European Central Bank publishes a list of monetary financial institutions, collective investment undertakings and securitisation institutions based within the EEA or the EU. The classification by sector adheres to Statistics Sweden’s Standard Classification by Institutional Sector (INSEKT 2014). The standard is published on Statistics Sweden’s website and rapporteurs can gain access to the information from Statistics Sweden’s Business Register as support for classification of Swedish counterparties.

FFFS 2023:24
The sectors that may be present in the section are (the sector codes according to INSEKT 2014 for Swedish counterparties are provided in square brackets):

1. Central banks [121000]
2. Monetary financial institutions (MFI) except central banks and money market
   funds [122100 + 122200 + 122300 + 122400 + 122500 + 122900]
3. Money market funds [123000]
4. Investment funds but not money market funds [124000]
5. Other financial intermediaries [125200 + 125300+ 125400 + 125900 + 126100

• 126200 + 127000]

6. Financial vehicle corporations engaged in securitisation transactions [125100]
7. Insurance corporation [128100 + 128200 + 128300]
8. Pension funds [129100 + 129200 + 129300 + 129400]
9. Non-financial corporations [111000 + 112000 + 113000 + 114000]
10. Public administration [131110 + 131120 + 131130 + 131200 + 131311 +
    131312 + 131313 + 131321 + 131322 + 131323 + 131400]
11. Households including non-profit organisations [141000 + 142000 + 143000 +
    144100 + 144200 + 144300 + 151000 + 152100 + 152200] Depository receipts are broken down by counterparty based on the undertaking that issued the underlying shares. The issuer’s sector according to ESA 2010 is reported for the assets that are reported without ISIN codes (International Securities Identification Number) for the CIC categories 1–3 and 5–6 as well as for mortgages and loans (CIC 8). Assets reported with another international identifier, such as a CUSIP or SEDOL, are considered not to have an ISIN code. Country of registration for UCITS and alternative investment funds The fund’s country of registration is only reported for investment funds/collective investment undertakings (CIC 4). Where the fund, not the manager, is registered is specified here. For example, if a Swedish fund management company manages a fund registered in Luxembourg, Luxembourg is reported as the fund’s country of registration. The country of registration for UCITS and alternative investment funds is only reported for funds without an ISIN. Instrument classification according to ESA 2010 For certain types of instruments, the classification between securities, shares and loans can vary between the EU supervisory reporting and the statistical reporting to the ECB. The instrument classification is therefore submitted in accordance with the CIC categories:
    Category 1 – The instrument is a simple debt instrument, non-transferable interest￾bearing security or non-transferable money market instrument, for example a reverse repurchase agreement/reverse repo Category 2 – The instrument is a registered bond (the issuer keeps information about the holder)

FFFS 2023:24
Category 3 – The instrument is a registered participation certificate or subscription right Category 9 – Other instruments Instrument classification according to ESA 2010 is reported for all assets, with or without an ISIN, for the CIC categories 1–3 and 5–6. Issue date The issue date corresponds to the original date on which the instrument was issued and not when the asset was purchased. For reverse repurchase agreements/reverse repos, the date of the transaction is used, not the date the received asset was issued. The issue date is reported for assets without an ISIN for the CIC categories 1–2 and 5–6. The issue date is also reported for all mortgages and loans (CIC 8). Where relevant, the issue date is reported for loans to households as a weighted average based on the loan volume when mortgages and loans to natural persons are aggregated in the common EU supervisory reporting. E. and F. Deposits to cedants – quarterly/annual (E.01.01.16) In Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/894 custodial accounts at insurance undertakings that have ceded reinsurance are reported with CIC code 75 but without breakdown by country. In this section, deposits to cedants are broken down by country. The information in this part is in addition to template S.06.02 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/894. Line identification code The code to identify the information is reported here. Issuer country The country in which the insurance undertaking’s reinsurer is domiciled is reported here. Currency The currency of the deposit is specified in accordance with ISO 4217. Total Solvency II amount The value of the deposit is reported here.

FFFS 2023:24
Accrued interest
Accrued interest on the deposit is reported here. Accrued interest is also included in the total Solvency II amount. Nominal amount The net present value of the claim is reported here as a nominal amount. G. Pension insurance commitments year (E.02.01.16) This section contains information requested for statistical purposes about pension insurance commitments (that are identified in S.14.01.01, C0101 classified as “4” in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/894. Pension insurance The information about pension insurance that is reported corresponds to technical provisions calculated as a gross whole and gross best estimate. Pension insurance includes both private pension insurance and occupational pension insurance. of which: Occupational pension insurance An “of which” item for pension insurance that refers to information about occupational pensions is reported here. Defined-benefit occupational pension Defined-benefit occupational pension means insurance contracts for which the benefit is defined, for example as a fixed periodic amount or a certain percentage of salary. Technical provisions calculated as a gross whole and gross best estimate of the commitments within defined-benefit occupational pension correspond to the present value of the actual promised benefit. Defined-contribution occupational pension Defined-contribution occupational insurance means insurance contracts for which the fee (the premium) is defined, for example as a fixed periodic amount or a certain percentage of salary. In unit-linked insurance, the size of the commitment through this is dependent on the change in value of the assets that are linked to the insurance policy. Technical provisions calculated as a gross whole and gross best estimate of the commitment within defined-contribution occupational pension correspond to the present value of the actual promised benefit and are based on the premiums paid to date.

FFFS 2023:24
Combined defined-benefit/contribution (hybrid) occupational pension Combined defined-benefit/contribution (hybrid) occupational pension refers to technical provisions calculated as a whole gross and best estimate gross of commitments according to contracts that combine defined-benefit and defined￾contributed occupational pension insurance. Pension schemes that contain both defined-benefit and defined-contribution parts (for example, ITPK within ITP2 within ITP) are considered separate defined-benefit and defined-contribution insurance contracts, respectively. H. Technical provisions for non-life insurance – accepted reinsurance – broken down by country per year (E.03.01.16) The information that is reported refers to the total gross technical provisions for accepted reinsurance broken down by geographical area and country. Both proportional and non-proportional reinsurance are included. Distribution indices may be used when breaking down by country. Geographic area Sweden (home country) refers to technical provisions for accepted reinsurance, accepted from Swedish insurance undertakings. Regardless of the size, technical provisions are always reported for Sweden. EEA countries outside the threshold refer to TP for accepted reinsurance, accepted from reinsurers in countries within the EEA (excluding Sweden) that have not been reported separately by country. Non-EEA countries outside the threshold refer to TP for accepted reinsurance, accepted from reinsurers in countries outside the EEA and that have not been reported separately by country. By country A separate report by country for up to 90 per cent of the total share of technical provisions for accepted reinsurance including Sweden (home country) is entered here. The breakdown by country is based on the where the reinsurer is domiciled. Sweden (home country) is only reported under geographical area.
