The rule in plain words

'Market value of collateral borrowed (period end)' - level 1, level 2A, level 2B and non-liquid assets must be higher than or equal to zero

In each of 16 rows (listed below) of (LR6) Treatment of collateral swaps (LV49.00.00.01): every value in "Market value of collateral borrowed (period end)" (column 0020) must be zero or more.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
