Explanatory note on the draft ECB Regulation on the collection of granular credit and credit risk data

On 18 November 2015 the Governing Council of the ECB has agreed to publish the
draft Regulation on the collection of granular credit and credit risk data (“AnaCredit”)
on the ECB website; it is still in a draft format. While its legal basis (Council
Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of

The purpose of this note is to provide background information on the planned
collection of granular credit data by the European System of Central Banks (ESCB),
as set out in the draft Regulation.
