Total encumbered assets: the sum of two columns cannot be more than loans collateralised with immovable property, central bank's eligible (EBA rule v2961_m)

A warning in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on templates F 32.01, asset encumbrance: encumbrance overview - assets and F 36.01.c, asset encumbrance: Advance template for assets of the reporting institution (c).

The rule in plain words

For total encumbered assets: central bank eligible, loans collateralised with immovable property, households plus central bank eligible, loans collateralised with immovable property, non financial corporations cannot be more than loans collateralised with immovable property, central bank's eligible.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_36.01.C: Of which central bank eligible, Households, of which: loans collateralised with Immovable Property + F_36.01.C: Of which central bank eligible, Non financial Corporations, of which: loans collateralised with Immovable Property <= F_32.01: Of which: loans collateralised with immovable property, Of which: central bank's eligible

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 32.01 and F 36.01 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
central bank eligible, loans collateralised with immovable property, households1,200
central bank eligible, loans collateralised with immovable property, non financial corporations800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Loans collateralised with immovable property, central bank's eligible must then be at least 2,000.

2,000Passes
1,900Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 1,900 fails, by 100.

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