Risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factors and pre FX-mismatch: specialised lending must equal SME (EBA rule v22957_m)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 07.00.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements and C 09.01.a, geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA exposures).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

For risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factors and pre FX-mismatch: specialised lending must equal SME.
