The rule in plain words
Debt securities issued by financial corporations cannot be more than total.
EBA checks it for nine rows, from central bank funding (of all types, including e.g. repos). Matching liabilities (0020) to other sources of encumbrance. contingent liabilities or securities lent (0180). That makes nine checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide

Covered bonds securities issued. Matching liabilities, Of which: issued by financial corporations <= Covered bonds securities issued. Matching liabilities, Total
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 36.01 as reported.
- 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.
Total must then be at least 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
