Securities financing transactions netting sets cannot be less than centrally cleared through a QCCP (EBA rule v0314_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 07.00.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements.

The rule in plain words

Securities financing transactions netting sets cannot be less than centrally cleared through a QCCP.

EBA checks it for three columns: exposure value, risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factors and pre FX-mismatch, and risk weighted exposure amount after supporting factors and after FX-mismatch. That makes three 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.

RISK WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT AFTER SUPPORTING FACTORS AND AFTER FX-MISMATCH: Securities Financing Transactions netting sets >= Of which: Centrally cleared through a QCCP

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 07.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Securities financing transactions netting sets1,200
What the rule then expects

Centrally cleared through a QCCP can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

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