The rule in plain words
Securitisation exposures cannot be more than other exposures.
EBA checks it for two columns, all for SA exposures: leverage ratio exposure value: and RWEAs:. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Leverage Ratio Exposure Value: SA Exposures: Of which: securitisation exposures <= Other exposures
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 43.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
Breakdown of leverage ratio exposure measure components: other non-trading book exposures (SA) (C 43.00.b)
Rows
- 0290Other exposures
- 0300Of which: securitisation exposures
Columns
- 0010Leverage Ratio Exposure Value: SA Exposures
- 0030RWEAs: SA exposures
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Other exposures must then be at least 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
