Subject Matter:
NSFR: Calculation of liablities and receivables from derivatives if there is no netting agreement
Question:

NSFR: How should the amount of liablities and receivables from derivatives be calculated if there is no netting agreement with the counterparty?

Background on the question:

According to the instructions for the NSFR template the liabilities and receivables from derivatives should be calculated according to regulatory netting rules: See Annex III, paragraph 6, template row 240 (liabilities from derivatives payables contracts) and 1290 (derivatives receivables) "An institution will usually have both net derivatives liabilities (i.e. payables) and net derivative assets (i.e. receivables) on its balance sheet. Institutions shall calculate these according to regulatory netting rules, not accounting rules, and report the amounts in both template 1.1. “Required funding” and template 1.2 “Stable funding” accordingly". How do we have to calculate the amount if there is no neeting agreement with the counterparty? Can we report the booking value from the balance sheet or do we have to assume a netting agreement?

Final Answer:

The instructions (Annex XII. Part 5, point 6 of the Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 13 ITS on supervisory reporting of institutionsDraft ITS on Supervisory reporting) state that netting should be done according to regulatory rules, and not according to accounting rules.

If no netting set actually exists, institutions should not assume any fictional netting set for the purpose of this reporting.
