The facts

Who files
CRR credit institutions, large investment institutions and medium-sized investment institutions in a representative sample, who are asked by BaFin or the Bundesbank to report; at individual institution level. Source

Deadline

The Bundesbank accepts only electronic reports via its ExtraNet in XBRL, through the file transfer mailbox 'PRISMA - submission of bank and financial supervisory reports (ITS / RTF / BGR / CONTACT)', after registering for that function in the 'Prudential returns' procedure; registering for the PRISMA feedback function gives access to automated validation reports.

Templates (0)

The library lists no templates for this return.

EU return: the templates and instructions are defined by the EBA. See the library's EBA entry eba/rem-dbm (docs/eba/rem-dbm.md). German institutions use the EBA's templates; the Bundesbank publishes a German reading version of the forms. Source

Validation rules

The Bundesbank publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: EBA validation rules in the EBA reporting framework (see the EBA entry).

No module-specific national rules were found in the PRISMA rule catalogue (version 1.5).

How they were counted

Not counted here: the EBA's validation rules apply (see eba/rem-dbm).

Counts are in the Bundesbank's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
