An upper-limit check on banking book: Indicators of potential climate change transition risk (D 02.00.a, row 0020, EBA rule v89309_m)

A warning in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on template D 02.00.a, banking book - Indicators of potential climate change transition risk: loans collateralised by immovable property - energy efficiency of the collateral (I).

The rule in plain words

For loans collateralised by commercial immovable property: 0; <= 100 (under total EU area) plus 0; <= 100 (under total non-EU area) cannot be more than total gross carrying amount (in M EUR) (under total EU area) plus total gross carrying amount (in M EUR) (under total non-EU area).

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

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 bigger 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 D 02.00 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.
