Bank of England has issued Statistical Notice 2025/5, asking reporting institutions to confirm confidentiality permissions for 2026. The notice proposes allowing publication of aggregate data when a firm contributes to less than three contributors, aiming to ease reporting burdens. Firms can choose one of four consent options: universal prior consent for all forms, form‑by‑form prior consent, prior consent with exceptions to certain data points, or opt‑out with case‑by‑case consent. Confirmation is required via the BEEDS portal, where separate surveys must be completed for each entity in multi‑entity groups; key firm details are pre‑filled. Firms with prior indefinite consent need not respond unless they wish to change. Consent applies to aggregate data for reference periods January to December following submission and remains valid unless withdrawn. Responses are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, 19 Dec 2025.
