The European Committee of Central Balance-Sheet Data Offices (ECCBSO) is an informal body whose members consist of experts either from the Central Balance-Sheet Data Offices belonging to or associated with the National Central Banks (NCB) of the European Community, or from National Statistical Institutions.

The main task of the ECCBSO is to improve the analysis of Non-financial corporate enterprises data through the exchange of information and joint studies, on the basis of the work realized by the national central balance-sheet data offices which collect, store and diffuse descriptive and accounting firm data and, starting from these information, realize economic and financial research.

The Chairman is elected every three years among the persons in charge of the Institutions joining the Committee. The Secretariat is ensured by the body whose representative has been elected as Chairman and lasts during his mandate. The meetings of the ECCBSO take place at least once a year.

The Committee has developed two databases: namely the Bank for Accounts of Companies Harmonized (BACH), in co-operation with the European Commission, and the European Sectoral references Database (ESD).

CHAIRMAINSHIP

The chairmanship is held by the National Bank of Belgium from November 2007 until November 2010
