Taxonomy 3.0 Validation Rule v3900_s

Our query refers to the EBA v3900_s validation rule of template F 02.00, which despite being non-blocking, we have to justify the module as there are negative amounts. We understand that there may be situations in which the reversal of expenses or income for interests or commissions of the current exercise exceed the expenses or income of the same period. In this situation a negative quantity should be allowed to be reported.

Treatment of covered deposits when determining the contribution base of Investment Firms

Clarification on EBA Final Q&A 2015_2469 / Exemption from bail-in of liabilities to institutions in order to avoid risk of systemic contagion

The answer to Q&A 2015_2469 clarifies that the exception to bail-in in Article 44(2)(e) of Directive 2014/59/EU (BRRD) captures inter-bank unsecured liabilities with an original maturity of less than seven days. Does this exception apply to all inter-institutional unsecured liabilities with an original maturity of less than seven days? In other words, does this exception also capture the liabilities of investment firms that are defined as institutions in Article 2(1)(23) BRRD, alongside the liabilities of other banks or credit institutions?

Application of the behavioural assumption of a 5-year cap for non-maturity deposits

Regarding paragraph 111 of the Guidelines on Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (EBA/GL/2022/14), and in relation to Article 98(5a) of the CRD, could you please confirm that the behavioural assumption of a 5-year cap on the average repricing of non-maturing deposits should not be understood as a modelling requirement neither for the Supervisory Outlier Tests (SOT) nor for the ongoing management of interest rate risk but as an alternative and additional measure of interest rate risk that complements the existing IRBB management framework?

Should collateral received via securities financing transaction that is subsequently sold short be reported as encumbered in F32.02? Follow-up question on 2014_946 related to short positions in Asset Encumbrance

As clarified in Q&A 946 “Selling collateral received (short sale) does not give rise to encumbrance”. Two scenarios are addressed under this Q&A and further clarity is sought on scenario one and the reporting of collateral received in template F 32.02 where such collateral is subsequently sold short. Is it the intended view that within F 32.02 where an institution receives collateral, against cash, and then uses that collateral received to cover a short position, that the received collateral should be reported as unencumbered in F 32.02, column 040?  If so, can you please provide supporting rationale that selling collateral received (short sale) does not give rise to encumbrance given that once the collateral is sold short, it is not available for re-use by the institution?

Clarification of scope of population for Corporate Bonds

In accordance with the instructions for row 0060 of template C 34.08 in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451, there is no specific definition of what the scope of corporate bonds should include. Could you, therefore, please confirm if this should include all bonds issued by Institutions and Corporate entities and if it would also include securitisation bonds issued by these entities as well or not or, alternatively, would only non-securitisation instruments issued by entities which would qualify for the corporates credit risk exposure class under Article 112(g) of the CRR be included? We would also request clarification on securitisation bonds, whether those issued by government agencies e.g., Fannie Mae should be reported in row 0050.

COREP Large exposure, validation rule v_1678 related to POCI assets

In case of purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (POCI), it is possible that the value for positive 'value adjustments and provisions' exceeds the 'value of total original exposure' can be reported in COREP Large reports. However, DPM validation rule v_1678_m does not allow reporting of such cases.  Since it is possible to have positive impairments that exceed the total original exposure for the POCI assets, could the validation rule or its severity be modified in this respect?
