None of the 560 values it checks in banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk can be negative (D 01.00, EBA rule v12826_s)

A warning in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on template D 01.00, banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk: credit quality of exposures by sector, emissions and residual maturity.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk can be negative.

EBA checks it for ten columns, from gross carrying amount (Mln EUR) (0010) to average weighted maturity (0160). And for 56 rows, from exposures towards sectors that highly contribute to climate change (0010) to total (0560). That makes 560 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.

> 20 years: C.16 - Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials >= 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 D 01.00 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

C.16 - Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials, > 20 years 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.
