1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

< 1 year cannot be negative (C 83.00.a, EBA rule v11573_s)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on template C 83.00.a, nSFR - simplified available stable funding (I), total.

The rule in plain words

< 1 year cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for five rows: stable retail deposits, other retail deposits, ASF from other non-financial customers (except central banks), ASF from operational deposits, and ASF from liabilities and committed facilities within a group or an IPS if subject to preferential treatment. That makes five 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.

< 1 year: Stable retail deposits >= 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 83.00 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 - simplified available stable funding (I), total (C 83.00.a)

Rows

  • 0040Stable retail deposits
  • 0050Other retail deposits
  • 0060ASF from other non-financial customers (except central banks)
  • 0070ASF from operational deposits
  • 0080ASF from liabilities and committed facilities within a group or an IPS if subject to preferential treatment

Column

  • 0050< 1 year

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Stable retail deposits, < 1 year 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.

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

{C_83.00.a,r0040,c0050,} >= 0

The next four:

{C_83.00.a,r0060,c0050,} >= 0{C_83.00.a,r0070,c0050,} >= 0{C_83.00.a,r0050,c0050,} >= 0{C_83.00.a,r0080,c0050,} >= 0

Every NSFR rule, by template

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