Most of the prudential reporting it reads (COREP, FINREP and other EBA implementing technical standards returns) is collected by national competent authorities and the EBA's harmonised reporting framework, which this library already covers under the European Banking Authority; this page covers the additional supervisory information the ECB collects directly from supervised banks for its own Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP).","source":"https://www.bankingsupervision.europa.eu/activities/srep/html/index.en.html"},"scope":{"text":"1 return: the Short-term exercise (STE), the additional supervisory information package the ECB collects directly to support SREP's risk-specific quantitative tools. The SREP itself (the Pillar 2 Requirement and Pillar 2 Guidance it sets, and its assessment of business models, internal governance, and risks to capital and liquidity) is the ECB's own supervisory judgement on banks, not a return banks file, so it is described here rather than as a separate return. Recurring COREP/FINREP prudential reporting, which EBA technical standards define and which this library already covers under the European Banking Authority, is out of scope here to avoid duplication. Ad hoc and one-off SSM-wide data collections beyond the STE (for example stress-test and NPE data requests referred to in ECB conference materials) were not confirmed with a dedicated ECB Banking Supervision page this session and are not recorded.","source":"https://www.bankingsupervision.europa.eu/activities/srep/html/STEreportingtemplates.en.html"},"submission_systems":[],"licence":{"name":"ECB Banking Supervision: Disclaimer & Copyright","quote":"Subject to the exception below, users of this website may make free use of the information obtained directly from it subject to the following conditions: When such information is distributed or reproduced, it must appear accurately and the ECB must be cited as the source.","url":"https://www.bankingsupervision.europa.eu/home/disclaimer/html/index.en.html","checked":"2026-11-13","redistribution":"allowed with conditions","conditions":"Credit: cite the ECB as the source, and reproduce the information accurately.
