Retail cannot be less than retail secured by residential real estate (J 08.00.a, EBA rule v22253_m)

A warning in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 08.00.a, relevant parameters (I).

The rule in plain words

Retail cannot be less than retail secured by residential real estate.

All the values are in the notional amount column (0010) of J 08.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Notional amount: Retail >= Of which: secured by residential real estate

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 08.00 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
Retail1,200
What the rule then expects

Retail secured by residential real estate can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

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