# Decision (EU) 2016/810 of the European Central Bank of 28 April 2016 on a second series of targeted longer-term refinancing operations (ECB/2016/10), Division (iii): Outstanding provisions against eligible loans (1.3 and 4.3)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

These data are relevant only for those institutions that, contrary to the general BSI practice, report loans net of provisions. In the case of institutions bidding as a TLTRO-II group, this requirement only applies to those institutions in the group that record loans net of provisions.
This item includes individual and collective allowances for impairment and loan losses (before write-offs and write-downs take place). The data must refer to outstanding eligible loans on the balance sheet, i.e. excluding loans that are securitised or otherwise transferred which have not been derecognised from the balance sheet.
As stated in the third subparagraph of point 2, in BSI statistics loans should be reported, as a rule, at the principal outstanding amount, with the corresponding provisions being allocated to ‘Capital and reserves’. In such cases, no separate information on provisions should be reported. At the same time, in cases where loans are reported net of provisions, this additional information must be reported in order to gather fully comparable data across MFIs.
Where it is the practice to report outstanding amounts of loans net of provisions, NCBs have the option of making the reporting of this information non-mandatory. However, in such cases the calculations under the TLTRO-II framework will be based on amounts of outstanding loans on the balance sheet net of provisions.
For additional details, see the reference to provisions in the definition of ‘Capital and reserves’ provided in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33).
