Financial News: Improving Credit Institution Reporting: A Public Consultation Report

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The regulator proposes that credit institutions in the future submit information to the Bank of Russia not in the form of reporting forms, but in the form of data sets linked by a single model.

The collection of individual types of detailed data can be implemented in such a way that the main body of information is collected once, and then only updated data is presented.

Among the promising methods for operational work with big data, the organization of direct access by the Bank of Russia to the data marts of credit institutions in real time is being considered.

Application of the approaches outlined in the report "Improving the collection of reports from credit institutions", will reduce the frequency of changes made to reports and the number of requests sent by the Bank of Russia, while significantly increasing analytical potential, quality and speed of data delivery.

Responses to the questions presented in the report, as well as comments and suggestions regarding it, can be sent to the Bank of Russia up to and including October 31, 2025.

Changing approaches to collecting data from credit institutions will also be discussed at the Innovative Technologies Forum. Finopolis, which will take place from October 8 to 10, 2025.
