SRB to clarify operational guidance for bank reorganisation plans
The Single Resolution Board (SRB) will host a technical meeting on March 3, 2026, to clarify its Operational Guidance on Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Reports (BRP AR). The meeting will also address the accompanying quantitative template, ahead of the public consultation's close.
Refining resolution readiness
The Single Resolution Board (SRB) has developed new Operational Guidance on Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Reports (BRP AR), currently open for public consultation.
This guidance is a strategic step, building on the SRM Vision 2028's shift from planning to operationalisation, testing, and crisis preparedness.
It aligns with Principle 7.3 of the SRB's Expectations for Banks (EfB), aiming to reinforce resolution readiness for credible and executable bail-in implementation.
The guidance refines existing requirements rather than introducing new ones, compiling them into a single, structured document.
A complementary quantitative template supports consistency and comparability across institutions, ensuring a more streamlined and effective approach to resolution planning.
Engagement before the deadline
The SRB is hosting a technical meeting on March 3, 2026, to provide necessary clarifications on the operational guidance and its quantitative template before the public consultation closes.
Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance to SRB-BRP[at]srb[dot]europa[dot]eu by February 27, 2026, to ensure priority.
The consultation itself runs until March 30, 2026. The SRB emphasizes that attending this meeting does not replace the submission of formal written responses to the consultation, urging all relevant stakeholders to engage comprehensively with the proposed framework.
Practical step for bail-in readiness
This technical meeting underscores the SRB's commitment to practical resolution readiness, moving from theoretical planning to operational implementation.
By clarifying the guidance and template, the SRB aims to ensure banks can effectively prepare for potential bail-in scenarios.
This focus on practical application is crucial for strengthening financial stability and market confidence.
