Circular for Credit Institutions on 2024 Resolution Reporting Submissions

Circular Triq l-Imdina, Zone 1 Central Business District, Birkirkara CBD 1010 +356 2144 1155 www.mfsa.mt Circular for Credit Institutions on 2024 Resolution Reporting Submissions This circular serves as a subsequent iteration to the "Circular for Credit Institutions on Resolution Reporting Submissions," published by the Malta Financial Services Authority ("MFSA") on 27 January 2023. The primary objective of this circular is to provide additional information and convey relevant updates pertaining to Resolution Reporting. Notwithstanding, the previous circular remains applicable. Reference is made to the MFSA web portal which is currently being used by credit institutions to submit various files to the Resolution Unit. The MFSA constantly strives to improve the services through which License Holders comply with their reporting obligations. In accordance with modifications implemented last year, credit institutions are capable of promptly receiving feedback in the event of validation errors encountered during the submission of resolution reports. Consequently, credit institutions are no longer reliant on email notifications from MFSA officials in case of validation errors but are automatically notified by the system to make the necessary amendments and resubmit the file accordingly. Current registered users have been granted access to four projects used for Resolution reporting purposes as per below: • Critical Functions Report (CFR) • Financial Market Infrastructure Report (FMIR) • Liability Data Template Report (LDR) • CIR Templates CIR Templates with reference date 31 December 2023, shall maintain the same file naming convention as outlined in the previous circular. 8 February 2024

This shall apply with reference date on or after 31 December 2023. Against the above, credit institutions shall use the following file naming convention for both the XBRL file and ZIP file within submissions of all four (4) Resolution Reporting templates: LEICODE.SCOPE_COUNTRYCODE_TAXONOMYVERSION_FILINGTYPE_REFERENCEDATE Due to extra processes, users may experience some delays when uploading XBRL files. May we note that this circular will only impact resolution reporting submissions requested by the Resolution Unit. Any queries in relation to the above should be directed to the Resolution Unit at resolution.planning@mfsa.mt Thank you for your co-operation.
