The data are used to perform regulatory and supervisory functions, including over currency markets, in accordance with Ukrainian law. Based on the information provided, the regulator creates:

• monetary, financial, banking statistics, and financial services market

• postal service providers.

Respondents (reporting providers)  are prepared and submitted to the NBU as files signed electronically by a designated person as set out in the relevant regulations..

The Register of Statistical Reporting Indicators Pursuant to Rules No. 120 and Register of Reporting Indicators for Non-banking Financial Institutions posted on the Official website of the NBU outlines all the required pieces of information, including details on identifiers and names of indicators, metrics, units of measurement, parameters, consolidation levels, unclassified details of indicators, references to legal acts, rules and requirements for estimating indicators, file numbers, submission frequency and deadlines, respondents, and the procedure for verifying data

Respondents submit Reporting Indicators in XML and JSON formats. Text information (explanation) is provided in scanned form.

Reporting indicators are checked for compliance with NBU requirements on three levels:

• primary: technical control, verification of data structure performed by the respondent that submits the information to the NBU;
• secondary: NBU control during acceptance of reporting indicators;
• expert control of data quality, integrity, time synchronization, consistency with data from other sources, compliance with international statistical standards and reporting. This step is conducted by the NBU to determine whether there is a need to amend the files.

The descriptions of the primary and secondary controls for each reporting file are posted on the pages of the Register of Statistical Reporting Indicators Pursuant to Rules No. 120 and Register of Reporting Indicators for Non-banking Financial Institutions.

If the NBU has any concerns regarding the indicators based on the findings of the control process, the respondent must provide the NBU with an explanation.

If the respondent or the NBU find errors in the data, the respondent can submit a replacement file. This can take place before the deadline at the respondent’s discretion or after the deadline by permission of the NBU.
