Summary of changes in basic financial data

The revisions are mainly in the following three aspects:

  • Statistics on the amount of new unit loans to replace old debts.
  • Optimize the statistical method of existing loans.
  • A special statistical system for loans to high-tech manufacturing industries has been added.

一、New report: information on the amount of corporate loans replacing old debts

The content of the report is the relevant data of the replacement of old debts by loans of non-institutional units during the reporting period (the old debts to be replaced include loans, bonds, other debts, etc., and the methods of replacing old debts include but are not limited to borrowing new ones to repay old debts, renewing loans, and repaying non-standard bonds, etc.).

二、Optimize the statistics of stock special loans: Split into the first batch of messages for stock special loans and the second batch of messages for stock special loans



三、Adjusted the content of some statistical reports

1. In the second batch of messages for existing special loans, a new statistical field is added for "whether it is a high-tech manufacturing loan and the type of high-tech manufacturing loan".
2. Add the field of "Registered Transaction Venue Code" to the loan information of the stock unit.
3. Under the item of "bill type" in bill business statistics, the classification of "acceptance bill of financial company" is added.

四、Clarify the submission schedule


Judging from the revision of the financial statistics system of the People's Bank of China (discussion draft) issued this time, the impact on the large centralized report is not great, mainly adding the refinement of key indicators related to agriculture, adjusting the statistical scope of some indicators such as "off-balance sheet business of intermediary services", and putting forward higher requirements for statistical content and accuracy, while also integrating and deleting the cross-cutting part of the off-balance sheet business report, which relatively reduces the reporting pressure of the reporting agency. The part of financial basic data involves the splitting and refinement of new reports and existing reports, and the reporting institutions can deploy the reporting work in accordance with the new requirements. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the official draft of the document issued by the People's Bank of China and release it at a later date, so stay tuned.
