Irish Special Purpose Entities

Comprehensive information is collected on Irish-resident special purpose entities engaged in securitisation activity. The data details stock and transactions on a quarterly basis, with information on the scale, composition, geographical and sectoral exposures of vehicles’ assets and liabilities. This data is transmitted to the Central Statistics Office and the European Central Bank to feed into Irish and euro area balance of payments and national accounts statistics. The data also feeds the measurement of shadow banking based on Financial Stability Board definitions.
