Question
Clarifications around which entities to include for those identified by a bloomberg ticker referencing a Sovereign
Background on the question
Annex I Template C 101.00 includes many sovereign entities referenced by the Bloomberg Ticker. Examples below. Can we please confirm if this is intended to capture (a) only exposures directly with the sovereign, or (b) also exposures with central banks, or (c) also exposures with other Government agencies. And if so, should we aggregate the exposures across all Sovereigns / Government Agencies / Central Banks per country and report in one row? Examples of Government Agencies: Ministries of Finance, Departments of Finance, government owned companies (such as utilities, banks etc) Examples of sovereign entities referenced by the Bloomberg Ticker in Annex I template C 101.00: Bloomberg ticker Name 1310Z AR Equity Argentina 1525Z AU Equity Australia 1480Z AV Equity Austria 43886Z BD Equity Bangladesh 111136Z BB Equity Belgium 1323Z BZ Equity Brazil 129225Z BU Equity Bulgaria PRCH CH Equity China 1040Z CP Equity Czech Republic 1083Z EY Equity Egypt 1000Z ET Equity Estonia 223727Z FP Equity France 3413Z GR Equity Germany 1004Z GA Equity Greece 1182Z HB Equity Hungary
Answer
Each of the entities referenced by a Bloomberg ticker uniquely identifies an entity in Bloomberg. As such, institutions should report the exposures corresponding to these sovereign entities.
