SRB launches public consultation on streamlining its approach on Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Report

• SRB launches a public consultation on:

  •  the operational guidance on the Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Reports and 

  • the Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Reports quantitative template.

• The consultation will run until 30 March 2026.

The implementation of a ‘bail-in’ requires reasonable prospects of financial soundness and long-term viability for a bank. Following a bail-in implementation, institutions are required to prepare and deliver a Business Reorganisation Plan within one month. To demonstrate their capabilities to do so, banks are requested to prepare a Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Report in the resolution planning phase.

In line with the SRB’s drive to reduce administrative burden no new expectations have been added. The new guidance streamlines existing requirements on Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Report in a single document in line with the drive towards simplification. It is fully aligned with the SRB’s updated approach to operationalisation, resolution testing and crisis readiness, described in the new SRB Operational Guidance on resolvability self-assessment and the SRB Operational Guidance on Resolvability Testing for Banks. 

The SRB will meet with the banking industry and other relevant stakeholders on 3 March 2026 to address any questions, before the consultation ends.

The consultation is part of the SRB’s ongoing engagement with industry. The SRB invites comments on both proposals (operational guidance and template) by completing the online questionnaire by 30 March 2026.
