The rule in plain words
In Market risk: standardised approaches for foreign exchange risk (MKR SA FX) (OF22.00.01.01): every value in "Total positions" (row 0010), "Currencies closely correlated" (row 0020) and "Of which: reporting currency" (row 0025) in column "Matched" (column 0080) must be zero or more.
The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF22.00.01 as reported.
- 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
