1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Debt securities, central bank's eligible cannot be negative (EBA rule v11616_s)

A check in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on template F 32.01, asset encumbrance: encumbrance overview - assets.

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Debt securities, central bank's eligible cannot be negative.

EBA writes it out 36 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

And 35 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.
