2, boulevard Royal ◦ L-2983 Luxembourg ◦ Fax (+352) 4774-4943 ◦ E-mail: stat@bcl.lu 1 / 2 Ref.: ST.21-0851 Luxembourg, 12 November 2021 Circular Letter To all credit institutions Subject: Update of statistical reporting instructions

Dear Sirs, Madams,

We refer to the reporting instructions to inform you that we have updated the instructions for several statistical reports.

The verification rules for report S 1.1 "Monthly Statistical Balance Sheet of Banks" have been adjusted at the "Assets - 4" and "Liabilities - 2" tabs.

The verification rules for report S 1.4 "Valuation Effects on the Statistical Balance Sheet of Banks" have been adjusted at the "Assets - 1" tab.

The identification of certain lines in report S 1.8 "Securitizations and other credit transfers by banks" has been adjusted at all sub-tables.

Following the reform of parental leave, the reporting instructions for reports S 2.9-L and S 2.9-N require minor adaptation to better reflect the flexibility introduced by the law of 3 November 2016.

Indeed, since these instructions no longer correctly reflect the various forms of parental leave permitted by Luxembourg legislation, several reporters have questioned the classification of persons with parental leave different from full-time or part-time parental leave.

Thus, we have adjusted the text of the reporting instructions to better reflect the flexibility introduced by the law of 3 November 2016.

Please accept, Sirs, Madams, the assurance of our perfect consideration.
