MNB Decree No. 32/2009 - Magyar Nemzeti Bank

Article 29 of the MNB Act shall cover these amendments as well. The data provider shall reply to any inquiry
made by the MNB to investigate the reason for such revisions in writing, indicating the cause for the amendment
originally conveyed.
F. Guidelines for the supply of statistical information
In order to ensure correct statistical information:
- all linear requirements must be met (e.g. for those data supplies which require all of the balance sheet
information, the two sides of the balance sheet must be in balance, the total of the parts must be equal to
the grand total);
- a data supplier’s data with the same contents but various frequencies must be consistent with each other;
- statistical information supplied must be comprehensive.
G. Common rules of the balance-of-payment (R type) data supply
1. Application of estimates
If data necessary for the submission of the data supply by the required deadline are not available to the data
supplier in due time, the data supplier shall file preliminary data based on estimates. If not indicated otherwise in
the completion instructions pertaining to the tables of specific data supplies, as soon as the data are finalised, the
data supplier shall submit an amendment report to the MNB.
2. Request for the modification of the deadline of data supply
If data necessary for the submission of the data supply by the required deadline are not available to the data
supplier even in the form of an estimate, the data supplier shall submit a written request for the extension of the
deadline to the Statistics Division of the MNB, at least one working day before the expiration of the deadline for
the data supply.
3. Time scope of the data supply obligation
The MNB shall notify in writing the data supplier designated by it on the data supply obligation in respect of the
data supply by designation (data supplies R02, R03, R04, R05, R06, R07, R08, R09, R10, R11).
Data supply with threshold value (data supplies R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R27, R29) shall be performed
as from the reference period for which the conditions set out in Annex 1 hereto for the range of data suppliers
relating to the specific data supply are first met, no negative data supply must be performed before this time. The
data supply obligation remains in force continuously from the beginning of this reference period irrespective of
the fact that such conditions may no longer exist in respect of a subsequent reference period.
4. Definition of the reference period
Unless otherwise provided in the completion instructions relating to the tables of the specific data supplies,
reference period means in the case of monthly data supplies the calendar month, in the case of quarterly data
supplies the calendar quarter, and in the case of yearly data supplies the calendar year.
In the event that the financial month of the data supplier is not equivalent to the calendar month in respect of
bookkeeping, the report should be made according to the financial month the end of which is closer to the end of
the relevant calendar month. The required data supply frequency and deadline shall be observed nonetheless.
5. Transactions to be included in the data supply
