Performing cannot be less than exposures with forbearance measures (F 23.03, EBA rule v7972_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 23.03, loans and advances collateralised by immovable property: Breakdown by LTV ratios.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Performing cannot be less than exposures with forbearance measures.

EBA checks it for 20 rows, from loans and advances collateralised by immovable property (0010) to loans with a LTV higher than 100% (0200). That makes 20 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.

of which: Loans with a LTV higher than 60% and lower than or equal to 80%, Performing >= of which: Loans with a LTV higher than 60% and lower than or equal to 80%, of which: Exposures with forbearance measures

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 23.03 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.

Illustrative values
Performing1,200
What the rule then expects

Exposures with forbearance measures can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

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