Guideline (EU) 2025/603 of the European Central Bank of 7 March 2025 on government finance statistics (ECB/2025/9) (recast)

Official Journal EN of the European Union L series 2025/603 31.3.2025 GUIDELINE (EU) 2025/603 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK of 7 March 2025 on government finance statistics (ECB/2025/9)

(recast) THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1, 5.2, 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Guideline ECB/2013/23 of the European Central Bank(1) has been substantially amended several times(2) and requires further amendments in the light of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) on Data Exchanges between the Directorate-General Statistics (DG Statistics) of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat), which covers government finance statistics (GFS). It should therefore be recast in the interest of clarity and transparency.

(2) For reasons of consistency, the ECB’s reporting requirements in the field of GFS should be based on the Union statistical standards defined in the European System of National and Regional Accounts (hereinafter ‘ESA 2010’) established by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3).

(3) The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) needs comprehensive GFS – namely, statistics covering all transactions including those in which general government, as defined in ESA 2010, acts as an agent for European institutions – as a reliable source of data to undertake its tasks relating to monetary policy and financial stability.

(4) It is necessary to further define efficient procedures for exchanging GFS within the ESCB, to ensure that the ESCB has timely GFS and to ensure that those GFS and the forecasts of the same variables prepared by the national central banks (NCBs) are compatible, irrespective of whether the statistics are compiled by NCBs or by competent authorities (including national statistical institutes).

(5) Part of the information necessary to meet the ESCB’s statistical requirements in the field of GFS is compiled by competent authorities other than NCBs. Therefore, some of the tasks to be undertaken pursuant to this Guideline require cooperation between members of the ESCB and the competent authorities. Article 4 of Council Regulation

(EC) No 2533/98(4)requires Member States to organise themselves in the field of statistics and fully cooperate with the ESCB in order to ensure the fulfilment of the obligations arising out of Article 5 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank.

(6) In order to achieve further efficiency in the procedures for exchanging GFS within the ESCB and to minimise the reporting burden on NCBs, part of the ESCB’s GFS statistical requirements are transmitted to the ECB by Eurostat in accordance with the relevant SLA, which already receives such data via the ESA transmission programme and the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009(5). Eurostat’s transmission is governed by the SLA on Data Exchanges between DG Statistics of the ECB and Eurostat, which has been recently amended. Where such statistical information has been transmitted to the ECB by Eurostat, NCBs should not be required to duplicate the reporting of that statistical information to the ECB.

(1) Guideline ECB/2013/23 of the European Central Bank of 25 July 2013 on government finance statistics (OJ L 2, 7.1.2014, p. 12, ELI:

http://data.europa.eu/eli/guideline/2014/2/oj).

(2) See Annex IV.

(3) Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (OJ L 174, 26.6.2013, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2013/549/oj).

(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (OJ L 318, 27.11.1998, p. 8, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/1998/2533/oj).

(5) Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 of 25 May 2009 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2009/479/oj).

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/guideline/2025/603/oj 1/25EN OJ L, 31.3.2025

(7) The statistical information reported pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 and the ESA 2010 is not sufficiently detailed for the purposes of the ESCB in respect of coverage of government debt and deficit-debt adjustment statistics and statistics on transactions between Member States and the Union reflected in the EU budget. Therefore, the compilation of more detailed GFS by NCBs is necessary.

(8) In order to ensure the accuracy and quality of the statistical information collected by the ECB, it is necessary to provide for the monitoring, assessment and, where appropriate, the revision of statistical information reported by NCBs. For the same reasons, NCBs should provide explanations to the ECB for revisions that significantly improve the statistical information reported, or where requested by the ECB.

(9) In line with the institutional and budgetary changes of European institutions, as defined in paragraph 19.08 of ESA 2010, there should be consistent reporting of certain non-financial transactions, which includes the non-financial transactions of Member States vis-à-vis those European institutions. Therefore, adjustments to the reporting table and the respective definitions are necessary to incorporate the current status of the EU budget own resources as well as the contributions to the Single Resolution Fund.

(10) In the interest of providing a clear and comprehensive overview of fiscal developments in the Union, rules should be set for the the maintenance of the GFS database and the publication by the ECB of statistical information on GFS to be reported pursuant to this Guideline.

(11) It is appropriate to provide for a common method of transmission of statistical information reported to the ECB, for all NCBs. Accordingly, a harmonised electronic transmission format should be agreed and specified by the ESCB.

(12) It is necessary to set up a procedure to carry out technical amendments to the Annexes to this Guideline in an effective manner, provided that such amendments neither change the underlying conceptual framework, nor affect the reporting burden on NCBs. The ECB or NCBs should propose such technical amendments to the Statistics Committee of the ESCB, and account should be taken by the Executive Board of the ECB of those views when following this procedure.

(13) In order to ensure that the collection and analysis of statistical information is effective, NCBs should comply with the provisions of this Guideline from 1 April 2025. However, in order to support a smooth transition for Eurostat’s reporting to the ECB, commencing on 1 September 2025and where certain conditions are satisfied, NCBs should not be required to report to the ECB statistical information available at Eurostat on the basis of the ESA transmission programme and the EDP reporting,
