The rule in plain words
None of the values it checks in asset encumbrance can be negative.
EBA checks it for five columns: fair value of encumbered collateral received or own debt securities issued, central bank's eligible (0030), notionally eligible EHQLA and HQLA, central bank's eligible (0060), and nominal of collateral received or own debt securities issued non available for encumbrance. And for twelve rows, from collateral received by the reporting institution (0130) to own debt securities issued other than own covered bonds or securitisations (0240). That makes 60 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

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 32.02 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.
Debt securities issued by general governments, central bank's eligible must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
