None of the four values it checks in securities (including CET1 can be negative (Z 12.00, EBA rule v903560_s)

A warning in the resolution planning: organisation and liabilities return (RESOL1), on template Z 12.00, securities (including CET1, AT1 & Tier 2 instruments; excluding intragroup).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in securities (including CET1 can be negative.

EBA checks it for four columns: outstanding Principal amount, amount of pledge, lien or collateral, amount meeting the conditions for MREL eligibility, and amount qualifying as Owns funds. That makes four 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.

Amount of pledge, lien or collateral: Amount of pledge, lien or collateral >= 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 Z 12.00 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.

The cells it reads

Securities (including CET1, AT1 & Tier 2 instruments; excluding intragroup) (Z 12.00)

Columns

  • 0110Outstanding Principal Amount
  • 0270Amount of pledge, lien or collateral
  • 0305Amount meeting the conditions for MREL eligibility
  • 0320Amount Qualifying as Owns Funds

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Amount of pledge, lien or collateral 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.
