1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Available stable funding must be zero (C 81.00.a, EBA rule v10634_m)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on template C 81.00.a, nSFR - available stable funding (I), total.

The rule in plain words

Available stable funding must be zero.

EBA checks it for six rows: centralised regulated savings, promotional loans and relevant credit and liquidity facilities, eligible covered bonds, derivatives client clearing activities, others, and trade date payables. That makes six 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.

Available stable funding: Centralised regulated savings = 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 81.00 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.

What the rule then expects

Centralised regulated savings, available stable funding must then be 0.

0Passes
100Fails

A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports 100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.

Show the rule as writtenShow

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

{C_81.00.a,r0340,c0100,} = 0

The next five:

{C_81.00.a,r0350,c0100,} = 0{C_81.00.a,r0360,c0100,} = 0{C_81.00.a,r0380,c0100,} = 0{C_81.00.a,r0400,c0100,} = 0{C_81.00.a,r0370,c0100,} = 0

Every NSFR rule, by template

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