Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) must be reported (M 01.00, EBA rule e10751_e)

A warning in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on template M 01.00, mREL and TLAC key metrics (resolution groups / entities) (KM2).

The rule in plain words

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) must be reported.

EBA checks it for eight rows: total risk exposure amount (TREA), total exposure measure (TEM), own funds and eligibile liabilities, own funds and subordinated liabilities (0210), own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount, own funds and subordinated liabilities (0310), own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total exposure measure, and own funds and subordinated liabilities (0330). That makes eight checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL): Own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total exposure measure is reported

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Report a value in this cell. A 0 counts as reported; a cell left out of the file does not.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark M 01.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

not(empty({M_01.00,r0320,c0010,}))

The next five:

not(empty({M_01.00,r0200,c0010,}))not(empty({M_01.00,r0310,c0010,}))not(empty({M_01.00,r0330,c0010,}))not(empty({M_01.00,r0100,c0010,}))not(empty({M_01.00,r0210,c0010,}))

And 2 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
