SCV file test requirements by 3 July 2019

SCV-files should be assessed as part of the first two priority tests mentioned in paragraph 96 of the EBA Guidelines on stress tests on DGSs (EBA/GL/2016/04) i.e. i) the SCV-files test and ii) the operational capability test. These tests should be performed and outcomes reported to the EBA by 3 July 2019. Tests should be conducted as follows: SCV file test: The tests concern a test of the SCV file in isolation and should cover all indicators included in paragraph 70 of the EBA/GL/2016/04. These routine checks should be conducted on all institutions, members of the DGS, making sure that the SCV files earmark deposits at branches in other Member States. Where applicable, the reason for not testing all institutions should be reported by using the template in Annex 1 of the EBA/GL/2016/04. For the purposes of this test, it is allowed to use samples rather than complete SCV files. Operational Capability test: SCV files should also be tested as part of a general operational capability test. Tests on the SCV files should again cover all indicators mentioned in paragraph 70 of the EBA/GL/2016/04. In this test, SCV files should be tested in a payout scenario concerning a credit institution with a number of depositors of no less than the second quartile of affiliated credit institutions not falling in any of the categories described in paragraph 53 of the EBA/GL/2016/04. In this case, using a sample of an SCV file is also permitted.
