20261001 ECB Legal Conference Panel 2: Sharing statistical and supervisory information

Panel 2 Sharing statistical and supervisory information Information exchange serves as a fundamental conduit through which authorities collaborate in the areas of monetary policy and banking supervision. In the supervisory domain, arrangements for sharing information are established with numerous authorities, including the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), national competent authorities, the European Statistical System (ESS), the Single Resolution Board (SRB). In the area of statistics, given the significant recent reforms to the statistical legal framework (e.g., Regulation 223/2009 and Regulation 2533/1998) and major upcoming reforms (ESA, IReF, digital omnibus), new and innovative methods for collecting and sharing information have emerged. The panel will explore how these legal changes can help address various challenges, including the objectives of simplification, the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and more. Additionally, the panel will assess how principles such as confidentiality and the ‘once-only’ principle are reflected in current rules and practices, as well as identify areas of focus for simplification measures to ensure effective and streamlined information sharing.
