Question:

Column 0130 and column 0180 from C34.08 report Composition of collaterals for CCR exposures highlights the information related to the SFT security. In accordance with the requirements provided in Annex II Reporting on own funds and own funds requirements, the institution shall report the fair values of collateral appearing as security in SFTs (e.g. the security leg of the SFT that has been received for column 0130, or posted for column 0180). In this context, considering that the SFTs involve two legs for each transaction and taking into account also the ITS requirements applied for the C34.08 report Composition of collaterals for CCR exposures, how the reporting institutions should treat the cash leg of the transaction? In which column the reporting institutions should populate the cash leg of the transaction?
