Unadjusted reserve of assets must equal the sum of its 13 parts (EBA rule v22927_m)

A warning in the asset-referenced and e-money tokens return (MiCA), on template Q 03.01, s_03.01: composition of the reserve of assets by type of assets and maturities.

The rule in plain words

Unadjusted reserve of assets must equal these 13 added up:

  • Deposits with credit institutions
  • Commodities
  • Coins and banknotes
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by central governments
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by credit institutions (protected by Member State government, promotional lender)
  • Qualifying CIU units
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by regional governments / local authorities
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Multilateral development banks and international organisations
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by central banks
  • Other highly liquid financial instruments, used as assets referenced
  • Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by public sector entities
  • Extremely high quality covered bonds
  • Others

All the values are in the amount or market value column (0010) of Q 03.01.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Unadjusted reserve of assets = Deposits with credit institutions + Commodities + Coins and banknotes + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Central governments + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Credit institutions (protected by Member State government, promotional lender) + Qualifying CIU units + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Regional governments / local authorities + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Multilateral development banks and international organisations + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Central banks + Other highly liquid financial instruments, used as assets referenced + Assets representing claims on or guaranteed by Public Sector Entities + Extremely high quality covered bonds + Others

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark Q 03.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
