1 min readBlockingEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Outstanding amount, total must equal the sum of its five parts (EBA rule v6422_m)

A blocking check in the resolution planning: organisation and liabilities return (RESOL1), on template Z 02.00.a, liability structure (LIAB).

The rule in plain words

For outstanding amount: total must equal these five added up:

  • Non-financial corporations (SMEs)
  • Non-financial corporations (non-SMEs)
  • Credit institutions
  • Other financial corporations
  • General governments & central banks

All the values are in the DGS liabilities row (0200) of Z 02.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

DGS liabilities, Total, outstanding Amount = DGS liabilities, Non-financial corporations (SMEs), outstanding Amount + DGS liabilities, Non-financial corporations (non-SMEs), outstanding Amount + DGS liabilities, Credit institutions, outstanding Amount + DGS liabilities, Other financial corporations, outstanding Amount + DGS liabilities, General governments & Central banks, outstanding Amount

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark Z 02.00 as reported.
  6. 06This 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.

Illustrative values
Outstanding amount, non-financial corporations (SMEs)1,200
Outstanding amount, non-financial corporations (non-SMEs)800
Outstanding amount, credit institutions450
Outstanding amount, other financial corporations300
Outstanding amount, general governments & central banks150
Together2,900
What the rule then expects

Outstanding amount, total must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

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