DNB Increases Focus On Late Statistical Reporting: What Reporting Entities Need To Know

The revised enforcement policy of the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, DNB) regarding the timely submission of statistical reporting entered into force on 12 August 2026. The policy clarifies how DNB deals with late submissions and which enforcement measures may follow.

For designated reporting entities, like captive financial institutions, fund managers and certain securitisation vehicles, holding and royalty companies, the practical significance is clear: repeated late submissions may now result in administrative fines, while individual late submissions may trigger penalty payment orders. Institutions subject to DNB statistical reporting obligations should review whether their existing governance, controls and escalation procedures adequately support timely filing. We will discuss the revised enforcement policy below in further detail.
