Where should additional leverage ratio exposure amount in accordance with Article 3 CRR be reported in Leverage ratio template C43.00?

Validation rule v4456_m is a consistency check between the total leverage exposure value before "Asset amount deducted - Tier 1 capital" in C 47.00 (LRCalc) and exposure values reported in C 43.00.a/b/c:

sum ({tC_47.00, r0010-0269, c0010}) + {tC_47.00, r0900, c0010} + {tC_47.00, r0910, c0010} = sum ({tC_43.00.a, (r0010, r0040, r0050, r0060, r0065, r0070), c0010}) + sum ({tC_43.00.b, (r0080, r0090, r0140, r0180, r0190, r0210, r0230, r0280, r0290), c0010}) + sum ({tC_43.00.c, (r0080, r0090, r0140, r0180, r0190, r0210, r0230, r0280, r0290), c0020})

Validation rule v4456_m and the instructions provided by the EBA for forms LR4 and LRCalc are inconsistent with respect to “General credit risk adjustments to off balance sheet items” (LRCalc row 0181) and “Excluded guaranteed parts of exposures arising from export credits” (if related to off balance sheet exposures, part of LRCalc row 0252).

Please provide instructions in which row(s) the amounts in LRCalc in rows 0181 and 0252 (if related to off balance sheet exposures) should be reflected in form LR4.

To which vintage bucket under Article 47c CRR should the anniversary date of an exposure’s classification as non‑performing be assigned?

In the context of FINREP reporting, institutions are required to apply counterparty sector classifications as laid down in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 680/2014.

Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, banks established in the UK are considered third‑country institutions and are no longer subject to the CRR/CRD framework. This has raised interpretative questions regarding their appropriate sectoral classification as counterparties in FINREP, in particular when ensuring consistency across EU supervisory reporting frameworks.
