Required stable funding must equal the sum of its four parts (C 80.00.c, EBA rule v11341_m)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on templates C 80.00.a, nSFR - required stable funding (I), total, C 80.00.b, nSFR - required stable funding (II), total and C 80.00.c, nSFR - required stable funding (III), total.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Required stable funding must equal these four added up:

  • RSF from central bank assets
  • RSF from liquid assets
  • RSF from contributions to CCP default fund
  • Initial margin posted

All the values are in the HQLA column (0040).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

C_80.00.C: REQUIRED STABLE FUNDING, HQLA = C_80.00.A: RSF from central bank assets, HQLA + C_80.00.A: RSF from liquid assets, HQLA + C_80.00.A: RSF from contributions to CCP default fund, HQLA + C_80.00.B: initial margin posted, HQLA

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 C 80.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
RSF from central bank assets1,200
RSF from liquid assets800
RSF from contributions to CCP default fund450
initial margin posted300
Together2,750
What the rule then expects

Required stable funding must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 fails, by 100.

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

EBA's formula. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{C_80.00.c,r0010,c0040,} = {C_80.00.a,r0020,c0040,} + {C_80.00.a,r0080,c0040,} + {C_80.00.a,r0960,c0040,} + {C_80.00.b,r0950,c0040,}

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