1 min readEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Other commitments given: nominal amount cannot be less than provisions for commitments and guarantees given (EBA rule v12016_m)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 20.05.a, geographical breakdown of off-balance sheet exposures by residence of the counterparty (a) and F 20.05.b, geographical breakdown of off-balance sheet items subject to credit risk by residence of the counterparty (b).

Line4 Check does not run this rule yet: its EBA formula needs parts of the XBRL formula language the engine does not cover. Your authority’s own validation still runs it.

The rule in plain words
