Search for Q&As

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).

Disclaimer:

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.

Please note that the Q&As related to the supervisory benchmarking exercises have been moved to the dedicated handbook page. You can submit Q&As on this topic here.

Risk weighting attributed to gold in the form of a commodity

Is the definition of 'gold bullion', as recently amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1623, consistent with the previous definition of 'gold' under Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR), as clarified by EBA Q&A 2016_3011, in the sense that it includes all forms of gold commodities (such as bars, ingots, jewels, manufactured products, and coins) whose value is determined exclusively by gold content—defined by purity and mass—regardless of their form, provided that no numismatic, artistic, branding, or other extrinsic value is attributed?

Maturity floor for SFT transactions under a master netting agreement that does not fulfill the enforceability criteria of CRR Article 206.

Does the EBA recognise that Securities Financing Transactions (SFT) conducted under an industry master netting agreement (MNA) such as GMRA or GMSLA could be subject to the 5-day floor maturity under CRR Article 162(2)(d) to the extend such MNA (i) meets the requirements of CRR Article 207 (2) to (4) on the eligibility of the collateral but (ii) does not necessarily fulfill the close-out netting enforceability criteria of Article 206 due to local law and absence of robust netting legislation for instance?

Calculation of minimum lease payments in case of operational lease

Does the EBA acknowledge that the residual value should be discounted, or the interests on this residual value should be filtered out of the calculation of the discounted minimum lease payments, to avoid an increase of the exposure beyond the accounting value?

Exposures to institutions waived from individual capital requirements according to article 7 CRR, under Credi Risk Standarised Approach

How should exposures to institutions be treated under Credi Risk Standarised Approach, if such institutions have been waived of individual capital requirements? Shall these exposures be assigned to grade C, or can the level of compliance with capital requirements be assessed by taking consolidated requirements as reference?

Calculation of the SME supporting factor for off-balance-sheet exposures

Is the SME supporting factor applicable, and if so, how shall it be computed, in case there is no on-balance-sheet exposure to be included in E*, as defined in Article 501(1) of CRR?

Validation rules taxonomy V4.0 C08.01 v4770_m

The formula v4770_m specifies that for C08.01, the total sheet is the sum of all the IRB Foundation sheets, including the memorandum items.However, Final ITS instructions specify that memo subcategories must be reported separately as a subclass of exposure, not linked to the total IRB exposures classes. Also, in the C02.00, lines with reference to memorandum items are shaded and not included in the totalization.The control seems incoherent.Could you please therefore confirm that sheets with reference to memo items should be removed from the formula?
