Guideline (EU) 2026/1694 amending Guideline (EU) 2018/876 on the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Data

National Central Banks must update the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Data (RIAD) to align with Regulation (EU) 2024/1988, specifically by recording investment fund attributes and adhering to monthly reporting deadlines within 28 working days of month-end. The amendments replace definitions for monetary financial institutions and investment funds, prohibit the deletion of entities from RIAD to preserve lifecycle records, and mandate the recording of reference data for the Centralised Securities Database. These obligations apply to all Eurosystem central banks and take effect upon notification.

GUIDELINE (EU) 2026/1694 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 25 June 2026

amending Guideline (EU) 2018/876 on the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Data (ECB/2018/16) (ECB/2026/15)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 127(2) and (5) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The European Central Bank (ECB) maintains the Register of Institutions and Affiliates Data (RIAD) which is a shared dataset for the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) of reference data on legal and other statistical institutional units (‘RIAD data’).

(2)

RIAD data is used, among other purposes, for the official lists of financial institutions prepared and published by the ECB, including investment funds (IFs). Statistical information on IFs collected pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1988 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2024/17) ( 1 ) , which recasts Regulation (EU) No 1073/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/38) ( 2 ) , is used to compile IFs statistics on both an aggregated and a granular fund-by-fund basis. It is therefore necessary to amend Guideline (EU) 2018/876 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/16) ( 3 ) to align it with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2024/1988 (ECB/2024/17), in particular to ensure that all relevant attributes are recorded in RIAD, and with the frequency required pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1988 (ECB/2024/17).

(3)

Amendments to Annexes I and II to Guideline (EU) 2018/876 (ECB/2018/16) are necessary to ensure they reflect the current technical specifications of RIAD, in particular in relation to attributes which are no longer required or where the systematic collection may not always be feasible.

(4)

This Guideline also introduces consequential changes following the repeal of Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/33) ( 4 ) by Regulation (EU) 2021/379 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/2) ( 5 ) , of the repeal of Guideline ECB/2014/15 of the European Central Bank ( 6 ) by Guideline (EU) 2021/835 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/16) ( 7 ) , and the adoption of Guideline (EU) 2021/830 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/11) ( 8 ) , as well as the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 9 ) by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 10 ) and the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 11 ) .

(5)

Therefore, Guideline (EU) 2018/876 (ECB/2018/16) should be amended accordingly,
