Circular CSSF-CPDI 26/50
Executive Summary
Circular CSSF-CPDI 26/50 mandates a recurring annual survey on the amount of **covered deposits** held as of **31 March 2026** by specified Luxembourg credit institutions, to support the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL) in meeting Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) requirements under the 2015 Law and DGSD. This matters for compliance as it ensures institutions contribute accurately to the FGDL's buffer (targeting 2% of covered deposits by 2026), with data also feeding into Single Resolution Board (SRB) calculations for resolution funding. #
What Changed
This circular introduces no substantive changes to survey content, methodology, or reporting specifications compared to prior issuances (e.g., CSSF-CPDI 25/49 for 31 December 2025). Updates are limited to the reference date (31 March 2026) and associated deadlines, maintaining the risk-based ex-ante contribution method from Circular CSSF-CPDI 20/21 and quarterly reporting under CSSF-CPDI 17/07.
Suggested Considerations
- Compile data on covered deposits (eligible deposits up to €100,000 per depositor, per Article 163 of 2015 Law), excluding items per Article 172 (e.g., financial institutions, life insurance).
- Report detailed breakdowns: total eligible/covered deposits, omnibus/fiduciary accounts (with beneficiary counts), natural vs. legal persons, branch-level data.
- Submit via specified format (per attached specs, unchanged from priors) to CPDI by deadline; quarterly data ongoing per CSSF-CPDI 17/07.
- Ensure alignment with FGDL contributions under CSSF-CPDI 25/48.
Key Dates
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – Immediate action required today (publication date) to prepare for 31 March 2026 snapshot (just 5 days away), with submission likely due early May 2026. Non-compliance risks FGDL penalties, inaccurate contributions (impacting 0.8% extra buffer to 2% DGSD minimum), and SRB reporting failures under Regulation (EU) 2015/63; recurring nature demands robust quarterly data processes.
