Z 02.00 — Liability Structure (LIAB)

II.2.1

General remarks

  1. (15)

    This template requires granular information on the liability structure of the entity or group. Liabilities are broken down by liabilities excluded from bail-in and liabilities not excluded from bail-in. Further breakdowns by liability classes, counterparty classes and maturity are provided.

  2. (16)

  3. (17)

    By default, amounts reported in this template shall be outstanding amounts. The outstanding amount of a claim or instrument is the sum of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the claim or instrument. The outstanding amount due is equal to the value of the claim which the creditor could file under insolvency proceedings.

Neither the requirement to ensure that all secured assets relating to a covered bond cover pool remain unaffected, segregated and with enough funding, nor the exclusion of Article 44(2) point b of Directive 2014/59/EU shall prevent resolution authorities, where appropriate, from exercising those powers in relation to any part of a secured liability or a liability for which collateral has been pledged that exceeds the value of the assets, pledge, lien or collateral against which it is secured. Such an uncovered amount of these secured liabilities shall not be reported in this row, but reported in row 0340, subject to additional breakdown.

Central Bank liabilities which are covered by a collateral pool (for example main refinancing operations, long term refinancing operation, target longer-term refinancing operations, etc.) shall be regarded as secured liabilities.

Balance sheet liabilities arising from derivatives

Accounting value of liabilities arising from derivatives, for the total amount corresponding to FINREP: {F 01.02;020;010) + {F 01.02;150;010}.

0331

Sum of net liability positions taking into account contractual netting sets, after mark-to-market adjustments, prior to collateral offset

By default the sum of all net market values of derivative liabilities per contractual netting set. Only where the net market value of a netting set is a liability, the netting set shall be reported. To this end, derivatives which are not subject to netting arrangements shall be treated as a single contract, i.e. as if it were a netting set with only one derivative.

0332

Sum of net liability positions taking into account contractual netting sets, after mark-to-market adjustments, post collateral offset

The valuation in row 0331 is subject to an adjustment for collateral posted to secure this exposure, which results in the sum of these net market values after offsetting collateral at its market value.

0333

Sum of net liability positions taking into account contractual netting sets, after mark-to-market adjustments, post collateral offset, incorporating estimated close-out amounts

In line with Commission Delegated Regulation (EC) No 2016/1401 on the valuation of liabilities arising from derivatives, an additional close-out amount covering the amount of losses or costs incurred by derivative counterparties, or gains realised by them, in replacing or obtaining the economic equivalent on material terms of the contracts and the option rights of the parties in respect of the terminated contracts.

The estimations required to determine a close-out amount in line with the abovementioned Regulation can prove quite difficult on an individual basis. Therefore, proxy values, which may be based on available data such as the prudential requirements for market risk, can be used instead. If it proves impossible to calculate the close-out amount for the derivative liabilities, the amount reported shall be equal to the amount reported in row 0332.

0334

Sum of net liability positions taking into account prudential netting rules

The net liability positions for derivatives taking into account the prudential netting rules of Article 429 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (related to the calculation of the leverage ratio total exposure measure) shall be reported.

0340

Uncollateralised secured liabilities

The amount of secured liabilities or liabilities for which collateral has been pledged that exceeds the value of the assets, pledge, lien or collateral against which it is secured. This shall capture the "undercollateralized" part of any collateralized liability, for example the undercollateralised part of covered bonds or repurchase operations.

0350

Structured notes

Structured notes are defined for this purpose as debt obligations that contain an embedded derivative component, with returns linked to an underlying security or index (public or bespoke, such as equities or bonds, fixed income rates or credit, FX, commodities etc.). Structured notes do not include debt instruments that include call or put options only, i.e. the value of the instrument does not depend on any embedded derivative component.

0360

Senior unsecured liabilities

This includes all senior, unsecured instruments that are not included in the structured notes category.

0365

Senior non-preferred liabilities

Amount of any of the following liabilities:

  • Unsecured claims resulting from debt instruments that meet the conditions laid down in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 and of paragraph 3 of Article 108 of Directive 2014/59/EU;
  • Unsecured claims resulting from debt instruments referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 108(5) of Directive 2014/59/EU; or
  • Debt instruments with the lowest priority ranking among the ordinary unsecured claims resulting from debt instruments referred to in Article 108(7) of Directive 2014/59/EU, for which a Member State has provided, in accordance with that paragraph, that they have the same ranking as that of claims that meet the conditions of points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 and of paragraph 3 of Article 108 of Directive 2014/59/EU.

0370

Subordinated liabilities

Liabilities which will only be repaid under national insolvency law after all classes of ordinary creditors and senior non-preferred creditors have been repaid in full. This includes both contractually and statutorily subordinated liabilities. In the case of holding companies, unsubordinated debt securities may also be reported in this category (i.e. structural subordination).

Only subordinated instruments that are not recognized as own funds shall be included in this category.

This row shall also include that part of subordinated liabilities that qualifies in principle as own funds, but is not included in own funds due to phase-out provisions such as Article 64 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (remaining maturity) or Part 10 of the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (grandfathering impact).

Critical functions and core business lines

II.7.1

General remarks

  1. (32)

    The four templates of this section provide key data and qualitative assessments of the impact, substitutability and criticality of economic functions the group is providing, supplemented by a mapping of those critical functions to core business lines and legal entities.

  2. (33)

    More specifically, the templates are dedicated to the following topics:

  3. (34)

    Template Z 07.01 — Criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1) identifies, based on quantitative and qualitative indicators, the non-critical and critical functions performed by the group for each Member State in which the group is active;

  4. (35)

    Template Z 07.02 — Mapping of critical functions by legal entity (FUNC 2) maps the critical functions identified to legal entities and assesses whether each legal entity is considered material to the performance of the critical function or not;

  5. (36)

    Z 07.03 — Mapping of Core Business Lines by legal entity (FUNC 3) provides a full list of core business lines and maps them to legal entities;

  6. (37)

    Template Z 07.04 — Mapping of critical functions to core business lines (FUNC 4) maps the identified critical functions to business lines.

  7. (38)

    Pursuant to Article 2(1) point 35 of the Directive 2014/59/EU, critical functions means activities, services or operations the discontinuance of which is likely in one or more Member States, to lead to the disruption of services that are essential to the real economy or to disrupt financial stability due to the size, market share, external and internal interconnectedness, complexity or cross-border activities of an institution or group, with particular regard to the substitutability of those activities, services or operations.

  8. (39)

    Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/778, a function shall be considered critical, when it meets both of the following:

    1. (1)

      the function is provided by an institution to third parties not affiliated to the institution or group; and

    2. (2)

      a sudden disruption would likely have a material negative impact on the third parties, give rise to contagion or undermine the general confidence of market participants due to the systemic relevance of the function for the third parties and the systemic relevance of the institution or group in providing the function.

  9. (40)

    Pursuant to Article 2(1), point (36) of the Directive 2014/59/EU, "core business lines" means business lines and associated services which represent material sources of revenue, profit or franchise value for an institution or for a group of which an institution forms part.

  10. (41)

    For the purposes of this template, economic functions shall refer to the functions listed in the table below.

  11. (42)

    For each category of economic functions, an economic function "other" may be chosen if the function is not captured by the other predefined functions.

  12. (43)

    Counterparties referred to in rows 0010 to 0070 and rows 0080 to 0150 are defined identically to counterparty sectors as provided in FINREP, Annex V, Part 1, chapter 6. "SMEs" refers to SMEs as defined in FINREP, Annex V, Part 1, paragraph 5, point (i).
