Economic value of equity: the absolute value of total liabilities must equal a sum of ten rows (EBA rule v903576_m)

A check in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 02.00, breakdown of sensitivity estimates.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 10 June 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

For economic value of equity: the absolute value of total liabilities must equal these ten worked out:

  • The absolute value of central bank
  • The absolute value of interbank
  • The absolute value of debt securities issued
  • The absolute value of NMDs: retail transactional
  • The absolute value of NMDs: retail non-transactional
  • The absolute value of NMDs: wholesale non-financial
  • The absolute value of NMDs: wholesale financial
  • The absolute value of term deposits
  • The absolute value of derivatives hedging liabilities
  • The absolute value of other

All the values are in the EVE - Parallel shock down column (0050) of J 02.00.

EBA writes it out six times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

abs({J_02.00,r0200,c0050,}) = abs({J_02.00,r0220,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0230,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0240,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0270,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0310,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0350,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0390,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0420,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0470,c0050,}) + abs({J_02.00,r0510,c0050,})

And 5 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

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