Non-life outwards reinsurance contract information: the amount reported should be positive or equal to 0 or -1 (IR.30.03, Bank of England rule IR_bv2637)

A blocking check on the non-life outwards reinsurance contract information template (IR.30.03), in the annual solo (ARS) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns.

The rule in plain words

The amount reported should be positive or equal to 0 or -1

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.30.03 as reported.
