1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Net derivatives must equal derivatives hedging assets minus derivatives hedging liabilities plus other derivatives (net asset or liability) (J 03.00, EBA rule v22169_m)

A warning in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 03.00, breakdown of sensitivity estimates (simplified for 'other' institutions).

The rule in plain words

Net derivatives must equal these three worked out:

  • Derivatives hedging assets
  • Minus derivatives hedging liabilities
  • Other derivatives (net asset or liability)

EBA checks it for two columns: level of EVE - Baseline scenario and level of NII - Baseline scenario. That makes two 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.

Level of EVE - Baseline scenario: Net derivatives = Derivatives hedging assets - Derivatives hedging liabilities + Other derivatives (Net asset/liability)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark J 03.00 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.

Illustrative values
Derivatives hedging assets1,200
Derivatives hedging liabilities (taken away)800
Other derivatives (net asset or liability)450
Together850
What the rule then expects

Net derivatives must then be 850.

850Passes
950Fails

A file that reports 850 passes. One that reports 950 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Show the rule as writtenShow

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

{J_03.00,r0540,c0030,} = {J_03.00,r0140,c0030,} - {J_03.00,r0470,c0030,} + {J_03.00,r0530,c0030,}

The next one:

{J_03.00,r0540,c0100,} = {J_03.00,r0140,c0100,} - {J_03.00,r0470,c0100,} + {J_03.00,r0530,c0100,}

Every IRRBB rule, by template

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