None of the 16 values it checks in NSFR: Summary.Total (V) can be negative (C 84.00.e, EBA rule v11570_s)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on template C 84.00.e, nSFR - Summary.Total (V).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in NSFR: Summary.Total (V) can be negative.

EBA checks it for two columns: amount and available stable funding. And for eight rows: ASF from capital items and instruments, ASF from retail deposits, ASF from other non-financial customers (except central banks), ASF from operational deposits, ASF from liabilities and committed facilities within a group or an IPS if subject to preferential treatment, ASF from financial customers and central banks, ASF from liabilities provided where the counterparty cannot be determined, and ASF from interdependent liabilities. That makes 16 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.

Amount: ASF from capital items and instruments >= 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 84.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

ASF from capital items and instruments, amount must then be at least 0.

0Passes
-100Fails

A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.

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_84.00.e,r0130,c0010,} >= 0

The next five:

{C_84.00.e,r0160,c0030,} >= 0{C_84.00.e,r0170,c0030,} >= 0{C_84.00.e,r0140,c0010,} >= 0{C_84.00.e,r0180,c0030,} >= 0{C_84.00.e,r0130,c0030,} >= 0

And 10 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.
