  • data reporting system – information is exchanged with regard to the statistical data to be submitted to ensure the function of the financial market participants' supervision and resolution.

To ensure the succession of the Financial and Capital Market Commission's regulations establishing the requirements and procedure for the preparation and submission of supervisory statistical data or relating to the implementation of those requirements after the merger of the Financial and Capital Market Commission with Latvijas Banka, regulations on the requirements and procedure for the preparation and submission of the statistical data pertaining to supervision and resolution are to be drafted in 2023 and 2024.

With regard to the financial market participants that exchange data with Latvijas Banka via the advanced security system, the revised regulations will lay down a requirement for reporting statistical data pertaining to supervision and resolution via the advanced security system, establishing a transitional period in respect of reporting the said data via the data reporting system.
