The rule in plain words
In each of 23 columns (listed below) of General governments exposures by country of the counterparty and regulatory approach (Gov) (C33.00.01.01): "Total exposures" (row 0010) must not be less than "Exposures under the credit risk framework" (row 0020).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C33.00.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
