1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Derivatives, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered must equal the sum of its four parts (EBA rule v2931_m)

A check in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on templates F 32.04.b, asset encumbrance: sources of encumbrance (b), F 36.01.a, asset encumbrance: Advance template for assets of the reporting institution (a) and F 36.02.a, asset encumbrance: Advance template for colllateral and own debt secrities issued other than covered bonds or ABSs (a).

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Derivatives, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered must equal these four added up:

  • Over-the-counter derivatives. encumbered assets, total
  • Exchange traded derivatives. encumbered assets, total
  • Over-the-counter derivatives. encumbered collateral received, total
  • Exchange traded derivatives. encumbered collateral received, total
