2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Credit institutions cannot be less than intragroup or IPS (C 66.01.a, EBA rule v11499_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

Credit institutions cannot be less than intragroup or IPS.

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

EBA checks it for 22 columns, from overnight (0020) to greater than 5 years (0220). That makes 22 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.

Overnight: Credit institutions, Total currencies >= Of which: Intragroup or IPS, Total currencies

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 66.01 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.

Illustrative values
Credit institutions1,200
What the rule then expects

Intragroup or IPS can then be at most 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, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

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_66.01.a,r0620,c0020,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0020,s0010}

The next five:

{C_66.01.a,r0620,c0025,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0025,s0010}{C_66.01.a,r0620,c0030,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0030,s0010}{C_66.01.a,r0620,c0040,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0040,s0010}{C_66.01.a,r0620,c0050,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0050,s0010}{C_66.01.a,r0620,c0060,s0010} >= {C_66.01.a,r0621,c0060,s0010}

And 16 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.
