This article contains basic information on the Czech Central Credit Register (CCR) and documents the use of the CCR for fulfilling the objective of financial stability. It describes in detail the construction of credit risk indicators produced by the CNB on both a routine and ad hoc basis in its macroprudential supervisory work. The article concludes by briefly describing the CNB’s plans to collect granular credit information. The extension of data collection to information on mortgages and consumer credit provided to households is linked with current European initiatives to establish a cross-border credit database. Detailed data on this credit segment are needed for some macroprudential tools, such as the loan-to-value ratio.
