Update on 2016 ex-ante contributions

After institutions were notified of the annual contributions due, a discrepancy was detected in the calculation of the risk factor relating to membership in an Institutional Protection Scheme (IPS). The discrepancy directly affected 497 institutions that are members of an IPS (3 out of 19 Member States). Due to the nature of the calculation mechanism, all other institutions that pay a risk based contribution were indirectly affected.

The impact was limited in the following way:

  • The average absolute impact per affected institution was 0.68% of their 2016 ex-ante contribution.

  • 80% of the affected institutions have an impact which fell in the range -1% to +1% of their 2016 ex-ante contribution.

  • The cumulative effect was that €22 million (out of €6.4 billion) have been misallocated.

  • Institutions that pay a lump sum contribution were not affected.
