Enquirers can use various factors to search for a Q&A:

  • These include searching by the Q&A ID; legal reference, date submitted, technical standard / guideline, or by keyword if known.
  • Searches can be extended to more than one legal act, topic, technical standard or guidelines by making multiple selections (i.e. pressing 'Ctrl' on your keyboard, and selecting the relevant ones from the drop-down lists by left mouse-click).

Q&As refer to the provisions in force on the day of their publication. The EBA does not systematically review published Q&As following the amendment of legislative acts. Users of the Q&A tool should therefore check the date of publication of the Q&A and whether the provisions referred to in the answer remain the same.

C 02.00 - OWN FUNDS REQUIREMENTS (CA2) - Scope of Row 0690

Template C 02.00, row 690 et seq.: according to the mapping tool for CRR3_step1 provided within the consultation on public disclosure (EBA/CP/2023/38) this row is mapped to the template OV1, row 1 “credit risk”. To our understanding additional “other risk exposure amounts” reported in row 0690 et seq. could arise from all kinds of risk categories and are not limited to credit risk. More guidance about what is to be reported in row 0690 et. seq. is needed, especially what is to be reported in row 0760. Should this row be used for mandatory requirements by competent authorities? Should this row be used for risk exposure amounts which could by assigned to a risk category like credit risk or market risk?

error in taxonomy

in COREP_OF template C_08.01.C cells r0070 c0130 and r0180 c130 seem to be common facts which in my opinion shouldn't be the case  how do we proceed from here?

COREP C35 - consistency controls v23722_m_0

The control claims that for C35.02 row r0120 column 0110 should be the sum of row r0080-r0100. If the control were to apply to line 0120, then the amounts reported in line 0120 columns 0010 to 0070 would not be included in the total of column 0110, which is inconsistent.

Valuation of non-CET1 instruments

As per the EBA REPORT ON THE MONITORING OF ADDITIONAL TIER 1 (AT1), TIER 2 AND TLAC/MREL ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES INSTRUMENTS OF EUROPEAN UNION (EU) INSTITUTIONS – UPDATE document published on the 27th of June 2024, paragraphs 145 to 151, the report advises to include the accrued interest in the amount used for the valuation of such instruments, i.e., the carrying amount in full, for prudential purposes. This however has not been included in any ITS on Corep or MREL that we are aware of. Could you please advise if this change should have a direct impact on the amounts reported in Corep or MREL, whether it is mandatory for all reporting entities and if so, starting with which reference date/reporting framework?

Risk weighting attributed to gold in the form of a commodity

Is the definition of “gold bullion”, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1623, more restrictive than the definition previously set forth in the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR), or this new definition shall be interpreted applying the clarification provided by the EBA in the Q&A 2016_3011?

Volatility Haircuts for Eligible Securitisation Collateral

Does the FCCM approach apply to unrated senior securitisation tranches that qualify as eligible collateral (i.e, as per article 197(1)h, "securitisation positions that are not resecuritisation positions and which are subject to a 100 % risk weight or lower in accordance with Article 261 to Article 264")?  If so, which supervisory volatility haircuts apply since there is no CQS associated with these under Sec- SA?  In addition, the new securtisation mappings of ECAI Ratings CQS 1-18 under Sec-ERBA have not been translated into Table 1 of Article 224, which continues to refer to CQS 1-4 seemingly under the old securitisation rules.  Which supervisory volatility haircuts apply under the new CQS mapping for rated securitisation tranches (as described in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1801 of 11 October 2016, as Amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2365 of 2 December 2022)?

Taxonomy 4.0: The validation rules v7538_m and v7546_m perform consistent cross-checks?

In terms of Implementing Technical Standards (ITS), when checking the rules of the COREP_OF module for Tables C_08.01.a, C_08.02, C_09.02 have been detected inconsistencies in the validation rules under template C09.02 cross check part. It’s possible to verify this?

Validation rules taxonomy V4.0 C_08.01.a,C_09.02 - v1672_m

The validation rule formula v1672_m specifies that the Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) after supporting factor in column 0125 reported under form 09.02 for IRB exposure class corporates – purchased receivables of all country should be equal to RWA reported under form C_08.01.a, column 0260 where Sheet is in qAE:qx2075 (Corporates - Purchased receivables with own estimates of LGD or conversion factors). The Sheet qAE:qx2076 (Corporates - Purchased receivables without own estimates of LGD or conversion factors) should also be considered in the formula for comparison of exposure to corporates – purchased receivables (with and with-out own estimates of LGD or conversion factors). This Sheet qAE:qx2076 is also a part of validation rules v0435_m, v0436_m and v0438_m where a similar comparison is made for original exposure, Exposure at Default (EAD) and RWA pre supporting factor. The control seems incoherent. Can you please confirm the sheets which need to be included for comparison of corporates – purchased receivables between forms C_08.01.a and C_09.02?

Validation rules taxonomy V4.0 C_08.01.a,C_09.02 - v0418_m

The validation rule formula v0418_m specifies that the Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) reported under form 09.02 for IRB exposure class central governments and central banks of all country should be less than or equal to RWA reported under form C_08.01.a, column 0255 where Sheets are in qAE:qx2021 (Central governments and central banks with own estimates of LGD and/or conversion factors), qAE:qx2020 (Central governments and central banks without own estimates of LGD or conversion factors), qAE:qx2014 (Corporates - Specialised Lending without own estimates of LGD or conversion factors), qAE:qx2055 (Retail exposures - Purchased receivables - with own estimates of LGD or conversion factors). The Sheet qAE:qx2014 and qAE:qx2055 should not be considered in the formula for comparison of exposure to central government and central bank. These two sheet’s codes are also not part of validation rule v0415_m and v0416_m where the similar comparison is made for original exposure and Exposure at Default (EAD). The control seems incoherent.
