The rule in plain words
Outflow due to collateral liquidations cannot be more than write-offs in the context of collateral liquidations.
EBA checks it for seven columns: non-performing exposures - loans and advances, households, loans collateralised by residential immovable property, non-financial corporations, SMEs, commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, and commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to NFCs other than SMEs. That makes seven checks. A failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 24.01 as reported.
- 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.
Write-offs in the context of collateral liquidations must then be at least 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
