COREP reporting in case of positive impairments for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (POCI)

In case of purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (POCI), also positive values for value adjustments can be reported in COREP reports. Some DPM validation rules do not allow reporting positive values. Since it is possible to have positive impairments for the POCI assets, could the validation rule be modified in this respect?

Validation rule v4135_m

As we are asked not to report the repos at fair value in the “Repurchase agreements” item on P01.02, while also explicitly required to report MRO, LTRO & TLTRO operations in P02.02, we believe this validation rule cannot be complied with.

NACE use in Pillar III ESG vs FINREP

1. Does further instruction on NACE classification for a particular counterparty as applicable for disclosures purposes in Pillar III ESG (e.g. Template 1 – Banking book – Climate change transition risk: Quality of exposures by sector) also apply for NACE classification for that same counterparty as presented in FINREP (template F06.01)? 2. Can additional clarification be provided for FINREP template F06.01 Section K 'Financial and Insurance activities'?

Validation rule v09762_m, checks that the LGD (c0070) should be less or equal to 100% in template C 08.03 (CR IRB 3)

According to the formulae v09762_m : {c0070} <= 1 in C08.03 “CR IRB 3”. This control checks that the LGD (c0070) should be less or equal to 100% in C08.03 “CR IRB 3”. However, according to the art.132 - EBA/GL/2017/16 - 20/11/2017 the process of quantifying LGDs, does not allow for the explicit consideration of discounting effects and recovery costs in the calibration. It is normal to obtain LGD levels higher than 100% in the riskiest buckets, taking into account the recovery costs and the discounting effect. So the formulae rule cannot be respected. Could you please therefore cancel this rule? According to the formulae v09762_m : {c0070} <= 1 in C08.03 “CR IRB 3”.

validation rule eba_v2708_m

In template F 18.00, the following validation rule is applied: sum({F 18.00.d, (r0005-0335, r0920, r0923, r0930, r0933), c0200}) + sum({F 18.00.c, (r0005-0335, r0920, r0923, r0930, r0933), c0210}) <= sum({F 18.00.a, (r0005-0335, r0920, r0923, r0930, r0933), c0060}) + sum({F 18.00.b, (r0005-0335, r0920, r0923, r0930, r0933), c0150}). We have a problem understanding regarding r0005-0335: In the formula, we have to take the sum from row 0005 to row 0335, but these cells correspond to the sum of the detail cells, with the detail cells and the cells of 'of which'. That seems abnormal as rule, and in the rest of the formula, the 'of which'-cells r0920, r0923, r0930 duplicated.

v6303_m not passed due to market conditions (C 24.00)

Because of the evolutions of the rates, the ratio SVaR/HVaR has dropped such that the SVaR is below the HVaR. In coordination with the local supervisor, we compensate this RWEA underestimation by applying a self-imposed RWA add-on through the application of Article 3 CRR. However, when we report the information of template C 24.00, the validation rule v6303_m blocks the submission because it enforces the following rule v6303_m: [C 24.00 (r0010)] {c0060} >= {c0040} We request de-activation of this rule so that our report can be submitted.
