None of the 54 values it checks in liquidity coverage, inflows, total (DA) can be negative (C 74.00.a, EBA rule v7779_s)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 74.00.a, liquidity coverage, inflows, total (DA).

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in liquidity coverage, inflows, total (DA) can be negative.

EBA checks it for three columns, all for cap on inflows: subject to the 75%, subject to the 90% and exempted from the. And for 18 rows, from collateral received meets operational requirements (0271) to memorandum items secured by L2B (0560). That makes 54 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.

Subject to the 75% cap on inflows: of which collateral received meets operational requirements >= 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 74.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Collateral received meets operational requirements, subject to the 75% cap on inflows 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.
