Form content

6. Form PB was created to assist reporters regarding limitations to the availability of final balance sheet positions early in the month.
Any reporters requesting to submit Form BT later than working day 9 will need to submit an additional Form PB (public sector business), having agreed this with the Bank 3 months in advance.
If reporting Form PB you will still need to populate the boxes on Form BT (as there are cross-form validations to ensure reported data are the same). If revising any related data, please submit revisions to both forms.
