Funding plans: every EBA validation rule in plain words (FP)

A funding plan shows a supervisor how a bank expects to fund itself over the next three years: its assets, liabilities, liquidity ratios, pricing and debt issuance, actual and planned. The largest banks in each EU Member State report one every year, by 15 March, in the EBA’s funding plan templates (P 01.01 to P 05.00, EBA/GL/2019/05).

EBA's 4.2 package has 240 validation rules for it. Line4 Check runs 228 of them (1,358 written-out checks): 0 can block a filing and 228 are warnings. EBA has switched 12 off.
