Should transactions volume in Prices for Various Lenghts of Funding be reported as average transactions volume, calculated as total volume divided by number of transactions?

EBA Final draft implementing technical standards on additional liquidity monitoring metrics of 24/07/2014 reports: “The template on prices for various lengths of funding seeks to collect information about the average transaction volume and prices paid by institutions for funding with different maturities ranging from overnight to 10 years”. Instructions for completing the additional monitoring tools template of Annex XX par. 1.4 Prices for Various Lengths of Funding (C 69.00) – section related to the instruction rules for each Template Row – reports “the total volume and weighted average spread of secured funding obtained”.

Institutions are required to report the volume of funding that has been obtained during the reporting period. The volume of obtained funding should be broken down by original maturity (in accordance with the maturity buckets provided in columns 20, 40, 60, 80,100,120,140,180) in Template C 69.00 of Annex XX of final draft implementing technical standard (ITS) on additional liquidity monitoring metrics under Article 415(3)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (EBA/ITS/2013/11/rev1 (of 24 July 2014)). 

No averaging is required as the reporting is about amounts obtained.

An example can be found in the Instructions point 1.4.6 of Annex XXI.
