Last update 12 March 2013
The Guidelines provide compilers in reporting countries with definitions and requirements for the reporting of data. They facilitate the compilation of national data in a consistent and comparable way. The March 2013 version of the Guidelines incorporates the decisions of the Committee on the Global Financial System to collect new data in two stages over the 2012-14 period. It replaces the previous two separate Guidelines for locational and consolidated banking statistics.
