The excess of funding to non-financial customers must equal the sum of its four parts (C 73.00.a, EBA rule v7395_m)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 73.00.a, liquidity coverage, outflows, total (DA).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

The excess of funding to non-financial customers must equal these four added up:

  • The excess of funding to non financial corporates
  • The excess of funding to sovereigns, MLDBs and PSEs
  • The excess of funding to retail customers
  • The excess of funding to other legal entities

EBA checks it for two columns: amount and outflow. That makes two 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.

Amount: the excess of funding to non-financial customers = the excess of funding to non financial corporates + the excess of funding to sovereigns, MLDBs and PSEs + the excess of funding to retail customers + the excess of funding to other legal entities

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C 73.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
the excess of funding to non financial corporates1,200
the excess of funding to sovereigns, MLDBs and PSEs800
the excess of funding to retail customers450
the excess of funding to other legal entities300
Together2,750
What the rule then expects

The excess of funding to non-financial customers must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 fails, by 100.

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

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{C_73.00.a,r0912,c0010,} = sum({C_73.00.a,r0914,c0010,},{C_73.00.a,r0915,c0010,},{C_73.00.a,r0913,c0010,},{C_73.00.a,r0916,c0010,})

The next one:

{C_73.00.a,r0912,c0060,} = sum({C_73.00.a,r0915,c0060,},{C_73.00.a,r0913,c0060,},{C_73.00.a,r0916,c0060,},{C_73.00.a,r0914,c0060,})

Every LCR rule, by template

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
