Collateral swaps: collateral outflows maturing within the next 5 working days cannot be less than extremely high quality covered bonds (EBA rule v22932_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

For collateral swaps: collateral outflows maturing within the next 5 working days cannot be less than extremely high quality covered bonds.

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

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 Q 03.01 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.

The cells it reads

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Collateral outflows maturing within the next 5 working days1,200
What the rule then expects

Extremely high quality covered bonds 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.
