Tier 2 instruments
Tier 2 instruments are subordinated bonds that count as gone-concern capital: they have a fixed maturity of at least five years, rank below all senior creditors, and are written down or converted after Additional Tier 1 has been exhausted.
Tier 2 absorbs losses after equity and AT1, and before senior non-preferred debt. Unlike AT1 it has no contractual trigger — it is reached through the resolution authority's powers. Full definition in the glossary.
Notional is summed over EUR-denominated lines that report an amount. FIRDS carries no exchange rates, so amounts in other currencies are counted but never converted.
