7. | To calculate the unweighted and weighted inflows and outflows and the weighted HQLA for the purpose of template EU LIQ1, institutions shall apply the following instructions: Inflows/outflows: the unweighted value of inflows and outflows shall be calculated as the outstanding balances of various categories or types of liabilities, off-balance sheet items or contractual receivables.

HQLA: the 'weighted' value of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) shall be calculated as the value after haircuts are applied. |
8. | In order to calculate the adjusted value of the liquidity buffer in item 21 and the adjusted value of total net cash outflows in item 22 of template EU LIQ1, institutions shall apply each of the following instructions: the adjusted value of the liquidity buffer is the value of total HQLA after the application of both haircuts and any applicable cap; the adjusted value of net cash outflows shall be calculated after the cap on inflows is applied, where applicable.

13. | The information required in template EU LIQ2 shall include all assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items irrespective of the currency in which they are denominated and shall be disclosed in the reporting currency as defined in Article 411(15) CRR. |
14. | To avoid any double counting, institutions shall not disclose assets or liabilities that are associated with collateral posted or received as variation margin in accordance with Articles 428k(4) and with Article 428ah(2) CRR, initial margin and contribution to the default fund of a CCP in accordance with point (a) of Article 428ag and with point (b) of Article 428ag CRR. |
15. | Deposits maintained in the context of an institutional protection scheme or a cooperative network that are considered as liquid assets shall be disclosed as such. Other items within a group or an institutional protection scheme shall be disclosed in the relevant general categories in the template of stable funding required or available. |
16. | Institutions shall always disclose as “Unweighted value by residual maturity” in columns a, b, c and d of the template the accounting values, except for the cases of derivative contracts, for which institutions shall refer to the fair value as specified in Article 428d(2) CRR. |
17. | Institutions shall disclose the “weighted value” in column e of this template. This value shall reflect the value in accordance with Article 428c(2) CRR which is the result of the unweighted value multiplied by the stable funding factors. |
18. | The amount of assets and liabilities resulting from securities financing transactions (SFTs) with a single counterparty shall be considered on a net basis where Article 428e CRR applies. In the case that the individual transactions netted were subject to different required stable funding (RSF) factors if they were considered separately, the netted amount to be disclosed, if an asset, shall be subject to the higher RSF factor of them. |
19. | Institutions shall provide in the narrative accompanying this template any explanations needed to facilitate an understanding of the results and the accompanying data. At least, institutions shall explain: the drivers of their NSFR results and the reasons for intra-period changes as well as the changes over time (e.g., changes in strategies, funding structure, circumstances); and the composition of the institution’s interdependent assets and liabilities and to what extent these transactions are interrelated. |
Available stable funding (ASF) Items
20. | In accordance with Article 428i CRR, unless specified otherwise in Chapter 3 of Title IV of Part Six CRR, the amount of available stable funding (ASF) shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of liabilities and own funds, as unweighted value, by the available stable funding factors. The weighted value in column “e” of this template reflects the amount of available stable funding. |
21. | All liabilities and own funds shall be disclosed with a breakdown by their residual maturity in columns a, b, c and d of this template, calculated in accordance with Articles 428j, 428o and 428ak CRR, with the following breakdown in terms of maturity buckets: no maturity: Items to be disclosed in the “no maturity” time bucket do not have a stated maturity or are perpetual; residual maturity of less than six months; residual maturity of a minimum of six months but less than one year; and residual maturity of one year or more. |
Required stable funding (RSF) Items
22. | Institutions shall disclose in the appropriate category all assets on which they retain beneficial ownership even if they are not accounted for in their balance sheet. Assets on which institutions do not retain beneficial ownership shall not be disclosed even if these assets are accounted for in their balance sheet. |
23. | In accordance with Article 428p CRR, unless specified otherwise in Chapter 4 of Title IV of Part Six CRR, the amount of required stable funding (RSF) shall be calculated by multiplying the unweighted value of assets and off-balance sheet items by the required stable funding factors. |
24. | Assets that are eligible as high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61 shall be disclosed as such, in a designated row regardless of their residual maturity. |
25. | All non-HQLA assets and off-balance sheet items shall be disclosed with a breakdown by their residual maturity in accordance with Article 428q CRR. The maturity buckets of the amounts, standard factors and applicable factors are the following: residual maturity of less than six months or without stated maturity; residual maturity of a minimum of six months but less than one year; and residual maturity of one year or more.
