2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Outflows cannot be negative (C 75.01.w, EBA rule v7693_s)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 75.01.w, liquidity coverage, collateral swaps, significant currencies (DA).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Outflows cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for 89 rows, from total collateral swaps (counterparty is central bank) (0010) to total collateral swaps with intragroup counterparties (2740). That makes 89 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.

Outflows: Other Level 2B >= 0

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 with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 75.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

The cells it reads

Liquidity coverage, collateral swaps, significant currencies (DA) (C 75.01.w)

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Other Level 2B, outflows must then be at least 0.

0Passes
-100Fails

A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.
