| (1) Statistics on developments in real estate markets are essential for economic and monetary policy making, for the monitoring of systemic risk and for guiding macroprudential policy making. | (1) Statistics on developments in real estate markets are essential for economic and monetary policy making, for the monitoring of systemic risk and for guiding macroprudential policy making. Past financial crises have shown that developments in real estate markets can reverberate through the financial system and severely impact the real economy. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (2 a) In its report of 19 June 2025, “Vulnerabilities in Non-bank Commercial Real Estate Investors”, the Financial Stability Board identifies the main vulnerabilities stemming from the commercial real estate sector. The report identifies remaining data gaps that hamper the mandate of macro-prudential authorities. |

| (6) In this same 2019 Recommendation, the ESRB defined the physical commercial real estate as any income-producing real estate, either existing or under development, including rental housing; or real estate used by the owners of the property for conducting their business, purpose or activity, either existing or under construction; that is not classified as residential real estate; and includes social housing. The definitions in this Regulation are aligned with those recommended by the ESRB in 2019. | (6) In this same 2019 Recommendation, the ESRB defined the physical commercial real estate as any income-producing real estate, either existing or under development, including rental housing; or real estate used by the owners of the property for conducting their business, purpose or activity, either existing or under construction; that is not classified as residential real estate; and includes social housing. The definitions in this Regulation are aligned with those recommended by the ESRB in 2019, with the exception of social housing which is excluded from commercial real estate, as in the ESRB Recommendation of 2016 and aligned with the 'Commercial property price indicators: sources, methods and issues' report of Eurostat. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (7) The Commission (Eurostat) and the national statistical institutes (NSIs), in close collaboration with the ESRB, assessed the feasibility of indicators on the physical commercial real estate, namely the price index, the rental index, the rental yield index, the vacancy rates and construction starts, recommended by the ESRB. The feasibility of producing the price index, the rental index, the construction starts and work completions was confirmed. Due to limited availability of data sources and insufficient quality, the indicators on rental yield indices and vacancy rates cannot be included in this Regulation and should continue to be developed. At the same time, an additional important indicator on the value of transactions of commercial real estate has been added. | (7) In line with the ESRB 2019 recommendation, indicators on the physical commercial real estate, namely the price index, the rental index, the rental yield index, the vacancy rates and construction starts should be collected. An additional important indicator on the value of transactions of commercial real estate has been added. |
As rental yield index and the vacancy rates indicators were already included in the 2016 ERSB recommendation, along with the other indicators, they should be requested as from the entry into application of this Regulation.
