A regulatory return listed by the National Bank of Belgium (NBB), Belgium.

It serves three purposes: the Guarantee Fund's calculation of deposit protection contributions, the Single Resolution Board's calculation of contributions to the Single Resolution Fund, and the NBB's monitoring of asset encumbrance (Article 110 of the Banking Act).
