Liabilities resulting from secured lending and capital market driven transactions collateralised by (counterparty is non - central Bank): level 1 tradable assets must equal the sum of its two parts (C 66.01.a, EBA rule v11481_m)

A warning in the additional liquidity monitoring metrics return (ALMM), on template C 66.01.a, maturity ladder, total, overnight and higher maturity.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

For liabilities resulting from secured lending and capital market driven transactions collateralised by (counterparty is non - central Bank): level 1 tradable assets must equal level 1 covered bonds (CQS1) plus level 1 excluding covered bonds.

All the values are on the total currencies sheet (0010) of C 66.01.a.

EBA checks it for 21 columns, from overnight (0020) to greater than 5 years (0220). That makes 21 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.

Greater than 4 months up to 5 months: Level 1 tradable assets, Total currencies = Level 1 covered bonds (CQS1), Total currencies + Level 1 excluding covered bonds, Total currencies

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 66.01 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
Level 1 covered bonds (CQS1)1,200
Level 1 excluding covered bonds800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Level 1 tradable assets must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

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

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

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

{C_66.01.a,r0075,c0160,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0135,c0160,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0085,c0160,s0010})

The next five:

{C_66.01.a,r0075,c0020,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0135,c0020,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0085,c0020,s0010}){C_66.01.a,r0075,c0100,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0085,c0100,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0135,c0100,s0010}){C_66.01.a,r0075,c0210,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0085,c0210,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0135,c0210,s0010}){C_66.01.a,r0075,c0040,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0085,c0040,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0135,c0040,s0010}){C_66.01.a,r0075,c0080,s0010} = sum({C_66.01.a,r0085,c0080,s0010},{C_66.01.a,r0135,c0080,s0010})

And 15 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

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