The rule in plain words

These three added up cannot be more than collateral received by the reporting institution, fair value of encumbered collateral received or own debt securities issued:

  • Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements, collateral received re-used
  • Repurchase agreements, collateral received re-used
  • Derivatives, collateral received re-used
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_32.04.B: Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements, Of which: collateral received re-used + F_32.04.B: Repurchase agreements, Of which: collateral received re-used + F_32.04.B: Derivatives, Of which: collateral received re-used <= F_32.02.A: Collateral received by the reporting institution, Fair value of encumbered collateral received or own debt securities issued

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger 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 F 32.04 and F 32.02 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
Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements, collateral received re-used1,200
Repurchase agreements, collateral received re-used800
Derivatives, collateral received re-used450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Collateral received by the reporting institution, fair value of encumbered collateral received or own debt securities issued must then be at least 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,350Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,350 fails, by 100.

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