Definition: Economic activity is a classification of counterparties according to their economic activities, in accordance with the NACE revision 2 statistical classification as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This data attribute is a statistical classification of the economic activity of the counterparty as established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2 and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 as well as certain EC Regulations on specific statistical domains (OJ L 393, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

Reporting qualification: The economic activity is reported for all creditors, debtors, head office undertakings and immediate parent undertakings resident in a reporting Member State. A general reporting obligation applies for protection providers, ultimate parent undertakings, originators and servicers resident in a reporting Member State. However, the relevant NCB may decide not to collect this information from individual reporting agents (cf. Table 2 in Annex III to the AnaCredit Regulation). A general reporting obligation also applies for the economic activity of creditors, debtors, protection providers, head office undertakings, immediate and ultimate parent undertakings, originators and servicers not resident in a reporting Member State. However, the relevant NCB may decide not to collect this information from individual reporting agents (cf. Table 3 in Annex III to the AnaCredit Regulation). 33 See the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). 31 May 2019 AnaCredit Reporting Manual – Part II – Datasets and data attributes When this data attribute is not required by the relevant NCB, the value “not required” is reported. In the case of reporting agents and observed agents resident in a reporting Member State, the value “not required” is reported.

Values: NACE code: a level two, three or four NACE code in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006. General reporting instructions, specific cases and examples The level four NACE code in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 is generally reported. If the level four NACE code is not available to the reporting agent, the NCB may allow the reporting of a level three or level two NACE code. The economic activity always refers to the institutional unit, not to the legal entity of which it forms part. Hence, it is also reported for foreign branches and special funds. In addition, the economic activity of a foreign branch can be different from that of its head office undertaking. If a counterparty is engaged in several activities, the principal activity is taken into account when determining the economic activity to be reported. Unless the value “not required” is reported, a NACE code is reported for all counterparties irrespective of whether they are (part of) incorporated enterprises, sole proprietors or government. Please refer to NACE Rev.2 Manual34 for more information.
