Decisions on loss-absorbing capacity: every EBA validation rule in plain words (MREL decisions)

Resolution reporting gives resolution authorities the data to plan how a failing bank could be resolved in an orderly way: its legal entities, liabilities, critical functions and links to market infrastructure. MREL and TLAC reporting shows whether it holds enough capacity to absorb losses. Both use EBA templates and travel in XBRL.

EBA's 4.2 package has 6 validation rules for it. Line4 Check runs 3 of them (32 written-out checks): 0 can block a filing and 3 are warnings. EBA has switched 1 off. 2 are not run yet.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. See every return on EBA validation rules in plain words.
