RSF from central bank assets must equal cash, reserves and HQLA exposures to central banks (C 80.00.w, EBA rule v11346_m)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on template C 80.00.w, nSFR - required stable funding (I), significant currencies.

The rule in plain words

RSF from central bank assets must equal cash, reserves and HQLA exposures to central banks.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

HQLA: RSF from central bank assets = cash, reserves and HQLA exposures to central banks

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 80.00 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.

The cells it reads

NSFR - required stable funding (I), significant currencies (C 80.00.w)

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
RSF from central bank assets1,200
What the rule then expects

Cash, reserves and HQLA exposures to central banks must then be 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.
