The rule in plain words
Maximum amount of the guarantee that can be considered cannot be negative.
EBA checks it for seven rows: financial guarantees received, central banks, general governments, credit institutions, other financial corporations, non-financial corporations and households. That makes seven checks. A failure names the one that failed.

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
Maximum amount of the guarantee that can be considered: Financial guarantees received >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 09.02 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Financial guarantees received, maximum amount of the guarantee that can be considered must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
