Available stable funding: ≥ 6 months to < 1 year cannot be negative (C 81.00.a, EBA rule v11618_s)

A warning in the net stable funding ratio return (NSFR), on template C 81.00.a, nSFR - available stable funding (I), total.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

For available stable funding: ≥ 6 months to < 1 year cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for 37 rows, from ASF from capital items and instruments (0020) to other liabilities (0430). That makes 37 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.

≥ 6 months to < 1 year: 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 81.00 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, ≥ 6 months to < 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.
