2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Net change of Counterbalancing Capacity must equal the sum of its seven parts (C 66.01.a, EBA rule v8741_m)

A warning in the additional liquidity monitoring metrics return (ALMM), on template C 66.01.a, maturity ladder, total, overnight and higher maturity.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Net change of Counterbalancing Capacity must equal these seven added up:

  • Own issuances eligible for central banks
  • Level 1 tradable assets
  • Undrawn committed facilities received
  • Other tradable assets
  • Non tradable assets eligible for central banks
  • Level 2B tradable assets
  • Level 2A tradable assets

All the values are on the total currencies sheet (0010) of C 66.01.a.

EBA checks it for 21 columns, from overnight (0020) to greater than 5 years (0220). That makes 21 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.

Greater than 3 days up to 4 days: Net change of Counterbalancing Capacity, Total currencies = Own issuances eligible for central banks, Total currencies + Level 1 tradable assets, Total currencies + Undrawn committed facilities received, Total currencies + Other tradable assets, Total currencies + Non tradable assets eligible for central banks, Total currencies + Level 2B tradable assets, Total currencies + Level 2A tradable assets, Total currencies

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 66.01 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
Own issuances eligible for central banks1,200
Level 1 tradable assets800
Undrawn committed facilities received450
Other tradable assets300
Non tradable assets eligible for central banks150
Level 2B tradable assets100
Level 2A tradable assets60
Together3,060
What the rule then expects

Net change of Counterbalancing Capacity must then be 3,060.

3,060Passes
3,160Fails

A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 3,160 fails, by 100.

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