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 sector classification follows the Standard Classification by Institutional Sector for 2014 (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. The sectors that may occur in the section are (the sector codes according to INSEKT 2014 for Swedish counterparties are provided in brackets):

1. Central banks [121000]
2. Monetary financial institutions (MFI) but not 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. Securitisation institutions [125100]
7. Insurance undertakings [128100 + 128200 + 128300]
8. Pension institutions [129100 + 129200 + 129300 + 129400]
9. Non-financial corporations [111000 + 112000 + 113000 + 114000]
10. Public administration [131110 + 131120 + 131130 + 131200 + 131311 +

    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 CUSIP or SEDOL, are considered not to have an ISIN code. Country of registration for UCITS and non-UCITS The fund’s country of registration is only reported for collective investment units (CIC 4). This specifies where the fund, and not the manager, is registered. For example, if a Swedish securities company manages a fund registered in Luxembourg, Luxembourg is reported as the fund’s country of registration. The country of registration for UCITS and non-UCTS is reported only for funds without an ISIN code.

FFFS 2016:4
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 reporting of data 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, e.g. a reverse repurchase agreement/reverse repo Category 2 – The instrument is a registered bond (the issuer keeps information about the holder) 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 ISIN for the CIC categories 1–3 and 5–6. Date of issue The date of issue corresponds to the original date when 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 of issue for the received asset. The date of issue is reported for assets without an ISIN code for the CIC categories 1–2 and 5–6. The date of issue is also reported for all mortgages and other loans (CIC 8). Where relevant, the date of issue is reported for loans to households as a weighted average based on the loan volume when mortgage loans and other loans to natural persons are aggregated in the EU supervisory reporting. E. and F.

Defined-benefit occupational pension
Defined-benefit occupational insurance refers to insurance contracts for which the benefit is determined e.g. as a fixed period amount or a certain percentage of salary. Technical provisions calculated as a whole gross and best estimate gross 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 refers to insurance contracts for which the fee (the premium) e.g. is determined 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. Technical provisions calculated as a whole gross and best estimate gross 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. 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 plans that contain elements of both defined-benefit and defined-contribution occupational pensions (e.g. ITPK within ITP2 within ITP) are considered to be separate defined-benefit and defined￾contribution insurance contracts. 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 technical provisions (TP) for accepted reinsurance, gross broken down by geographical area and country. Both proportional and non-proportional reinsurance are included. Distribution keys may be used for breakdowns by country. Geographic area Sweden (home country) refers to TP for accepted reinsurance, accepted from Swedish insurance undertakings. Regardless of the size TP is always reported for Sweden.

FFFS 2016:4
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 TP for accepted reinsurance including Sweden (home country) is entered here. Breakdown by country is based on the reinsurer’s domicile. Sweden (home country) is only reported under geographical area.
