Final answer

In accordance with Article 425(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR), institutions shall report in full only contractual inflows from outstanding exposures that are not past due and for which the institution has no reason to expect non-performance measured over the next 30 days. Thus, securities lent via unsecured securities borrowing transaction can be reported as inflows only if they have been contractually recalled and due within the next 30 days, and only if they are eligible to the stock of liquid assets in accordance with Article 416 of the CRR. These recalled securities shall be reported up to their market value net of haircuts prudently valued according to Article 418 of the CRR.
