Each of the 36 values it checks in pricing: loan assets must be less than 0.1 (P 02.04, EBA rule v6249_m)

A warning in the funding plans return (FP), on template P 02.04, pricing: loan assets.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Each of the values it checks in pricing: loan assets must be less than 0.1.

EBA checks it for two columns: actual current position and planned Year 1 Position. And for 18 rows, from loans and advances to households (excl. reverse repurchase loans) (010) to loans and advances to general governments (excl. reverse repurchase loans) (170). That makes 36 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Planned Year 1 Position: Loans and advances to central banks (excl. reverse repurchase loans) < 0.1

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value outside the limit in these cells.
  3. 03If the value is a percentage, EBA expects it as a decimal: 12% is reported as 0.12.
  4. 04EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark P 02.04 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
