Level 2B assets must equal the sum of its five parts (EBA rule v11181_m)

A warning in the investment firms, class 2 return (IFR class 2), on template I 09.00, liquidity requirements.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Level 2B assets must equal these five added up:

  • Asset-backed securities
  • Corporate debt securities
  • Shares (major stock index)
  • Restricted-use central bank committed liquidity facilities
  • High quality covered bonds (RW35 %)

All the values are in the amount column (0010) of I 09.00.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Level 2B assets = Asset-backed securities + Corporate debt securities + Shares (major stock index) + Restricted-use central bank committed liquidity facilities + High quality covered bonds (RW35 %)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark I 09.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

Shares (major stock index)450
Restricted-use central bank committed liquidity facilities300

What the rule then expects

Level 2B assets must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

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