(LR7) Treatment of repurchase transactions: 'Netted amounts (period average)' must be lower than or equal to 'Gross repo (period average)' (LV50.00.00.01, Bank of England check boe_b0053)

A blocking check on the (LR7) Treatment of repurchase transactions template (LV50.00.00.01), in the contingent leverage (LVR002) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the contingent leverage (LVR002) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all eight test files of that return.

Check your file for this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

'Netted amounts (period average)' must be lower than or equal to 'Gross repo (period average)'

In each of "Total repo activity" (row 0010), "of which activity for franchise clients" (row 0020), "of which level 1 HQLA" (row 0030) and "of which intra-group activity" (row 0040) of (LR7) Treatment of repurchase transactions (LV50.00.00.01): "Netted amounts (period average)" (column 0050) must not be more than "Gross repo (period average)" (column 0040).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark LV50.00.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: LV50.00.00.01, c: 0050} <= {t: LV50.00.00.01, c: 0040}

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):
