Official title: COREP_LR - Common reporting leverage ratio

The facts

Who files
Credit institutions and stockbroking firms that report through OneGate domain MBS (the NBB reporting and notification portal lists 'Financial reporting' through OneGate for banks and stockbroking firms). The MBS page does not say which institutions file each report. Source
How often
Not stated on the NBB pages read; set by the EBA's reporting framework (see eba/corep-lr). Source
Deadline
Not stated on the NBB pages read (Domain MBS - XBRL reports page, reporting and notification portal). The reference and remittance dates are set at EU level; see the library's EBA entry eba/corep-lr. Source
Format
XBRL-XML, xBRL-CSV. Uploaded to OneGate, domain MBS, using the EBA taxonomy named on the domain page (EBA 4.2 for reference dates from March 2026). xBRL-XML stays accepted, with no end date set, and xBRL-CSV is also possible (14/04/2026 news). The OneGate XBRL protocol (v1.41, April 2026) sets the XML envelope, the xBRL-CSV zip naming convention (for example KBO_0123456789.IND_NBB_MBS_FINREP_FreeText.zip), entity identifiers (KBO or LEI, with .IND or .CON for the level of consolidation) and filing indicators. Access to domain MBS needs an electronic certificate. Source

Validation rules

The NBB publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: EBA validation rules in the EBA reporting framework (see the EBA entry); OneGate taxonomy checks.

The rules are the EBA's. OneGate also runs the ECB's data quality checks (EGDQ) on supervisory reports; since the 30/09/2019 reference date every failed EBA validation rule or plausibility check on these reports counts as an error in OneGate, so a report cannot be closed until they are cleared or justified (an EBA Q&A for EBA rules, a justification to the supervisor for ECB checks). A report in which 20% or more of the figures are zeros is blocked; 10% to 20% gives a warning.

How they were counted

Not counted here: the EBA's validation rules apply (see eba/corep-lr).

Counts are in the NBB's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
