The rule in plain words

'Net repo (period average)' amount must be higher than or equal to zero

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): every value in "Net repo (period average)" (column 0060) 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.
  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.
