Introduction

1. In order to improve the data on housing loans and loans for residential purposes, Directive No. 876 (Housing Loans - Monthly) was amended to align with the Public Treasury report.

   b. In Directive No. 317, replace "Floor Liability" in row 01 with "Floor Liability according to Directive No. 311."

   Following the publication of Management Directive No. 2357 dated 23.12.2012, which published and repealed Banking Management Standard No. 311, references in Directive Nos. 316, 317, and 809 were updated.

   (Quarterly) (HMT-linked) (Credit Risk with Borrowers - Directive No. 810A)

   4. In Section 17 of Directive No. 316, replace "Borrower Rating" with "Report Borrower Rating."

   9. After the words "For all borrower groups," add "Group Code" (as specified in Appendix 01, paragraph b). The rest of this section does not apply.

   (Weekly) (Internal Pricing for Interest Rate Purposes - Directive No. 830)

   10. In Section 4 (Reporting Method), after the words "Name of the file to be sent by the banks," add additional details. The file name should be ribXXddmmyy.xls, where XX indicates the Bank Code. The ending remains unchanged without modification.

   11. In Section 7 (Definitions and Clarifications), after Section 8, add: "In cases where there is no data in a specific range, record 'ND' (No Data) in the relevant cells where the bank is closed."
