|||||
Note 7 |
(1) If the report is by reference to the firm'sDLG by default the reporting frequency is: (a) weekly if the group liquidity standard frequency reporting conditions are met; (b) monthly if the group liquidity low frequency reporting conditions are met. (2) If the report is by reference to the firm'sUK DLG by modification the reporting frequency is: (a) weekly if the group liquidity standard frequency reporting conditions are met; (b) monthly if the group liquidity low frequency reporting conditions are met. (3) If the report is by reference to the firm'snon-UK DLG by modification the reporting frequency is quarterly. |
|||||
Note 8 |
(1) If the reporting frequency is otherwise weekly, the item is to be reported on every business day if (and for as long as) there is a firm-specific liquidity stress or market liquidity stress in relation to the firm or group in question.

(3) A firm must ensure that it would be able at all times to meet the requirements for daily or weekly reporting under paragraph (1) or (2) even if there is no firm-specific liquidity stress or market liquidity stress and none is expected. |
