Template labelling and other conventions
1.1.
Template labelling
(1)
This Annex contains additional instructions for the Leverage Ratio (hereinafter "LR") templates included in Annex X of this Standard.
(2)
Overall, the framework consists of seven templates:
- Leverage Ratio Calculation (LRCalc): Leverage ratio calculation
- Leverage Ratio Template 1 (LR1): Alternative treatment of the exposure measure
- Leverage Ratio Template 2 (LR2): On and off-balance sheet items — additional breakdown of exposures
- Leverage Ratio Template 3 (LR3): Alternative definition of capital
- Leverage Ratio Template 4 (LR4): Breakdown of leverage ratio exposure measure components
- Leverage Ratio Template 5 (LR5): General information
- Leverage Ratio Template 6 (LR6): Entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes but are not within the scope of prudential consolidation.
(3)
For each template legal references are provided as well as further detailed information regarding more general aspects of the reporting.
1.2.
Numbering convention
(4)
The document will follow the labelling convention set in the following paragraphs, when referring to the columns, rows and fields of the templates. These numerical codes are extensively used in the validation rules.
(5)
The following general notation is followed in the instructions: {Template;Row;Column}. An asterisk sign will be used to express that the validation is done for the whole row or column.
(6)
In the case of validations within a template, where only data points from that template are used, notations will not refer to a template: {Row;Column}.
(7)
For the purpose of the reporting on leverage, "of which" refers to an item that is a subset of a higher level exposure category whereas "memo item" refers to a separate item that is not a subset of an exposure class. Reporting of both types of fields is mandatory unless otherwise specified.
1.3.
Sign convention
(8)
All amounts shall be reported as positive figures. An exception are the amounts reported in {LRCalc;110;1}, {LRCalc;110;2}, {LRCalc;110;3}, {LRCalc;120;1}, {LRCalc;120;2}, {LRCalc;120;3}, {LRCalc;150;1}, {LRCalc;150;2}, {LRCalc;150;3}, {LRCalc;160;1}, {LRCalc;160;2}, {LRCalc;160;3}, {LRCalc;170;1}, {LRCalc;170;2}, {LRCalc;170;3}, {LRCalc;180;1}, {LRCalc;180;2}, {LRCalc;180;3}, {LRCalc;190;1}, {LRCalc;190;2}, {LRCalc;190;3}, {LR3;010;1}, LR3;020;1}, {LR3;030;1}, {LR3;040;1}, {LR3;050;1}, {LR3;060;1}, {LR3;070;1} and LR3;080;1} which can either take positive or negative values. Thereby note that, apart from extreme cases, {LRCalc;150;1}, {LRCalc;150;2}, {LRCalc;150;3}, {LRCalc;170;1}, {LRCalc;170;2}, {LRCalc;170;3}, {LR3;050;1}, {LR3;060;1}, {LR3;070;1} and {LR3;080;1} only take negative values. Also note that, apart from extreme cases, {LRCalc;110;1}, {LRCalc;110;2}, {LRCalc;110;3}, {LRCalc;120;1}, {LRCalc;120;2}, {LRCalc;120;3}, {LRCalc;180;1}, {LRCalc;180;2}, {LRCalc;180;3}, {LRCalc;190;1}, {LRCalc;190;2}, {LRCalc;190;3}, {LR3;010;1}, {LR3;020;1}, {LR3;030;1}, LR3;040;1} only take positive values.
