by the administrative source and bilateral data). A detailed explanation of the balance of payments
revision was published in July 2017 in the BS publication Economic and Financial Developments.
Financial intermediaries statistics
In 2017 the BS successfully implemented all tasks related to monetary and financial statistics at monthly,
quarterly and annual levels on the basis of requirements of international users and its own needs. This covers
the data from the balance sheet and interest rates of monetary financial institutions as well as non‐monetary
financial intermediaries, securities, payment systems and structural data of the banking system.
For December balance sheet statistics reporting the ECB introduced additional breakdowns of the item
Capital and reserves and a new item Holdings of own securities, broken down into debt securities,
shares and money market funds.
In May 2017 the Governing Board of the Bank of Slovenia decided that collection of detailed ESCB
AnaCredit data will take place in the multi‐purpose system PORFI. Because many data are already
collected in this report, the single collection will save additional costs of this part of development and
harmonisation for banks and the BS since already collected data will be used for a new purpose. In the
second half of 2017 a draft of changes and new requirements of the instructions on reporting by monetary
financial institutions was prepared and sent in October to the reporting population for remarks.
The register/code list of foreign business entities was set up by the BS at the end of 2015. In 2017
instructions for banks regarding the entry of proper AnaCredit indicators were prepared because data
from the register will be used for reporting reference data on non‐resident counterparties in this project.
In 2017 duplicates in the register were cleaned, the quality of entered data was verified, and the data
were used in the exercise for identifying AnaCredit of counterparties.
In 2017 a new item (net worth) was included in covering data from pension funds for ECB reporting,
particularly on pension schemes with defined benefits.
In 2017 in the ESCB RIAD system (Register of Institutions and Affiliates Database) the quality of entered data
was verified and data for the needs of data migration to the new program version were cleaned. Also
prepared was the migration plan for transferring data from the current version to the RIAD SDD (single data
dictionary) environment. In the second half of 2017 this was followed by the exercise of identifying AnaCredit
counterparties (domestic and foreign business entities) in the test RIAD environment.
After two acquired companies were eliminated from the statistical sample for reporting by leasing
companies, at the end of 2017 the sample included 29 companies performing leasing activities. Via
leasing activities and annual reports by companies, new potential reporters were identified in 2017 and
informed about being included in the sample. In 2018 the sample will include three new companies.
In payments statistics, in addition to work on data quality a proposal was prepared of new tables for the
bulletin to be published for the first time in 2018.
2.2.2 Environmental sustainability
Regular reporting of all six environmental‐economic accounts: development work
continues
In line with European Commission regulation on environmental‐economic accounts (EC 538/2014), in 2017
SURS transmitted to Eurostat for the first time environmental goods and services sector accounts, physical
energy flow accounts, and environmental protection expenditure accounts. Within regular reporting that has
been taking place since 2013 SURS also transmitted air emission accounts, material flow accounts and
environmentally related taxes.
Despite regular reporting, development work on accounts continues. Within material flow accounts a new
table with data on the output of production processes was developed in 2017 showing the impact of
production processes on the environment. For preparing physical energy flow accounts software tools PEFA
