The rule in plain words
None of the values it checks in asset encumbrance can be negative.
EBA checks it for 18 columns, from loans on demand (0010) to total (0180). And for five rows: total encumbered assets, central bank eligible (0200), total unencumbered assets, central bank eligible (0220) and encumbered + unencumbered assets. That makes 90 checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Other assets: Of which central bank eligible >= 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 36.01 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.
Central bank eligible, other assets must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
