Level of MV, Baseline scenario cannot be negative (EBA rule v903557_s)

A warning in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 04.00, breakdown of sensitivity estimates (simplified for SNCIS).

The rule in plain words

Level of MV - Baseline scenario cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for six rows: total assets with MV impact, debt securities, other (0600), total liabilities with MV impact, debt securities issued and other (0640). That makes six 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.

Level of MV - Baseline scenario: Total Assets with MV impact >= 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 J 04.00 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

Total assets with MV impact, level of MV - Baseline scenario 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.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
