ANNEX II EARMARKABLE ASSETS A. Earmarkable assets include, with the exclusion of any other items: 1. Lending to euro area credit institutions related to monetary policy operations denominated in euro (asset item 5 of the harmonised balance sheet (HBS)). 2. Securities held for monetary policy purposes (part of asset item 7.1 of the HBS). 3. Intra-Eurosystem claims equivalent to the transfer of foreign reserve assets other than gold to the ECB under Article 30 of the Statute of the ESCB (part of asset item 9.2 of the HBS). 4. Net intra-Eurosystem claims on euro banknotes in circulation including those resulting from the application of Article 4 of this Decision (part of asset item 9.4 of the HBS). 5. Net intra-Eurosystem claims resulting from TARGET2 transactions remunerated at the reference rate (part of asset item 9.5 of the HBS). 6. Gold, including claims in respect of gold transferred to the ECB, in an amount permitting each NCB to earmark a proportion of its gold that corresponds to the application of its share in the subscribed capital key to the total amount of gold earmarked by all NCBs (asset item 1 and part of asset item 9.2 of the HBS). For the purposes of this Decision, gold is valued on the basis of the gold price in euro per fine ounce at 31 December 2002. 7. Claims resulting from euro banknotes that have been frontloaded under Guideline ECB/2006/9 and have then entered into circulation before the cash changeover date (part of asset item 4.1 of the HBS until the cash changeover date and thereafter part of the correspondent accounts under asset item 9.5 of the HBS), but only until such claims become part of the intra-Eurosystem claims resulting from TARGET2 transactions. 8. Outstanding claims arising from default by Eurosystem counterparties in the context of Eurosystem credit operations, and/or financial assets or claims vis-à-vis third parties appropriated and/or acquired in the context of the realisation of collateral submitted by defaulted Eurosystem counterparties in the context of Eurosystem credit operations reclassified from asset item 5 of the HBS (part of asset item 11.6 of the HBS). 9. Accrued interest recorded at quarter-end by each NCB on monetary policy assets the maturity of which is one year or longer (part of asset item 11.5 of the HBS). 10. Claims on euro area counterparties that relate to swap agreements between the ECB and a non-Eurosystem central bank which earn net income for the Eurosystem (part of asset item 3.1 of the HBS). B. The value of each NCB's earmarkable assets is calculated in accordance with the harmonised accounting principles and rules laid down in Guideline (EU) 2016/2249 (ECB/2016/34).
