ANNEX XXVII
REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF IDENTIFYING AND ASSIGNING G-SII BUFFER RATES
PART I
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1.1. Structure and conventions
2.1.1.1. Structure
1. This framework consists of one template capturing information on indicators of global systemic importance and particular items needed for the application of the EU’s methodology for identifying globally systemically important institutions (G-SIIs) and assigning corresponding G-SII buffer rates.
3.1.1.2. Numbering convention
2. The document follows the labelling convention set in points 3 to 5, when referring to the columns, rows and cells of the templates. Those numerical codes are extensively used in the validation rules.
3. The following general notation is followed in the instructions: {Template; Row; Column}.
4. In the case of references inside a template, in which only data points of that template are used, notations do not refer to a template: {Row; Column}. In the case of templates with only one column, only rows are referred to {Template; Row}.
5. An asterisk sign is used to express that the reference captures the rows or columns specified before.
4.1.1.3. Sign convention
6. Any amount that increases the value of the indicator, the assets, liabilities or exposures shall be reported as a positive figure. Any amount that reduces the the value of the indicator, the assets, liabilities or exposures shall be reported as a negative figure. Where there is a negative sign (-) preceding the label of an item, no positive figure is expected to be reported for that item.
5.1.1.4. Abbreviations
7. For the purposes of this Annex, Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 26 ) is referred to as ‘CRR’ and Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 27 ) is referred to as ‘CRD’.
PART II
TEMPLATE RELATED INSTRUCTIONS
6.1.1. General remarks
8. The template is divided into two sections. The upper section on G-SII indicators includes the indicators for identifying globally systemically important institutions as defined in the methodology developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The lower section contains a number of items needed to calculate the relevant indicators in accordance with the methodology defined on the basis of Article 131(18) CRD.
9. Where relevant, the information provided in this template shall be consistent with the information provided to relevant authorities for the purposes of the collection of the indicator values by relevant authorities as set out in Article 3(2) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1222/2014.

G-SII indicators The definition of the indicators shall be the same as the definition applied for the purposes of determining the information listed in the Annex to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1222/2014. In case of changes to the methodolgy, the same methodology applicable for determing the indicators values as of the end of the financial year shall be used for the purposes of reporting information as of the end of the first, second and third quarter of that same financial year. Indicators that are flow measures shall be reported on a cumulative basis since the beginning of the calendar or financial year, as applicable. |

Items considering the European Banking Union as a single jurisdiction For the purposes of determining the items specified below and in the absence of specifications in the instructions below, the definitions and concepts applied shall be aligned, to the extent possible, with the definitions and concepts defined in the Guidelines for reporting the BIS international banking statistics. By derogation from that, the reporting entities’ activities across participating Member States as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) shall be excluded, i.e. the Participating Members States shall be considered as one single jurisdiction. |

Total foreign claims on an ultimate risk basis Total foreign claims shall be the sum of cross-border claims and local claims of foreign affiliates in local or foreign currency. Claims from positions in derivative contracts shall be excluded. ‘Claims’, ‘cross-border claims’, ‘local claims of foreign affiliates in foreign and local currency’ shall have the same meaning as defined in the Guidelines for reporting the BIS international banking statistics. ‘On an ultimate risk basis’ shall mean that, for the purposes of determining whether a claim ia a cross-border or local claim, the position is allocated to a third party that has contracted to assume the debts or obligations of the primary counterparty if that party fails to perform, where such a third party exists. This allocation shall be made in accordance with the provisions on risk transfers provided in the Guidelines for reporting the BIS international banking statistics. |

Foreign derivatives claims on an ultimate risk basis The positive fair value of all derivative claims that are cross-border claims, or local claims of foreign affiliates in local or foreign currency. Derivatives include forwards, swaps, and options related to foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, commodity, and credit instruments. This includes purchased credit derivatives that hedge or offset credit protection sold or are held for trading purposes. In case of such purchased credit derivatives, the value of shall not be capped at the value of the immediate claim it was purchased to guarantee. The positive fair values of derivative contracts may be offset against negative fair values only if the positions were executed with the same counterparty under a legally enforceable netting agreement. Only netting sets with a positive value shall be included in this item. The derivative claims shall be reported gross of any cash collateral. For the purposes of reporting information on an ultimate risk basis, the following shall apply: a) When the final risk lies with the counterparty, a derivative is considered foreign if the counterparty is not in the reporting entities’ home jurisdiction. b) When the final risk lies with the guarantor, a derivative is considered foreign if the guarantor is not in the reporting entities’ home jurisdiction. |

Foreign liabilities on an immediate risk basis, including derivatives Foreign liabilities, including derivatives, shall be the sum of foreign liabilities and foreign liabilities arising from derivatives. Securities liabilities that are tradable financial assets issued by the reporting institution shall be excluded from this item. The definition of derivatives shall be the same as applied for row 0140. The negative fair values of derivative contracts may be offset against positive fair values only if the positions were executed with the same counterparty under a legally enforceable netting agreement. Derivatives liabilities shall be reported gross of any collateral (cash and non-cash). ‘On an immediate risk basis’ shall mean that, for the purposes of determining whether a claim is a cross-border or local claim, the position is allocated to the direct counterparty of the contract. |
