The rule in plain words

Total (column 0180) must equal these eight added up:

  • Non financial corporations
  • Other assets
  • Equity instruments
  • Central banks and general governments
  • Financial corporations
  • Households
  • Loans on demand
  • Total (column 0030)

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.

  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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 F 36.01 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.
