SRB publishes the list of consultations and requests to the industry for 2026

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) publishes today its list of consultations and requests to the industry for 2026, part of its commitment to transparency and predictability

The list contains expected consultations, data requests, and deliverables stemming from EU legal acts, SRB Expectations for Banks (EfB), and the SRB’s ongoing shift towards bank-led testing and resolvability assessment.

The list for 2026 reflects the industry's overall resolvability progress and the SRB's commitment to simplifying practices and limiting the burden on the banking sector.

The list covers several types of consultations and requests to the industry, including: 

• Public (voluntary) consultations and engagements on different policy topics that have a material impact on banks’ activities;
• Regular data requests and deliverables informing the assessment of bank resolvability and compliance with MREL requirements, which apply to all banks earmarked for resolution;
• Deliverables that apply to a subset of banks based on their resolution strategy and risk profile;
• Requests related to the calculation of administrative and SRF contributions.

To provide more clarity, the SRB has explicitly separated data- and content-related requests into two categories: those addressed to all banks under the SRB’s remit that are earmarked for resolution and those addressed to a subset of banks based on their progress towards resolvability or specific business model and resolution strategy. 

The table on specific requests lists all elements that could be potentially requested from banks in 2026. Banks have already been informed via their priority letters should any of these requirements apply to them individually. This means that, in general, each bank has received a list of requirements that is much more streamlined than the overview in the table.

The upcoming consultations and requests for 2026 reflects the overall resolvability progress achieved by the industry, as well as the SRB´s commitment to simplifying current practices and limiting the burden on the banking sector. From 2026 onwards, many bank-specific deliverable previously requested annually will be requested only in specific instances (e.g., due to remaining gaps in overall resolvability or when information from previous submissions becomes materially outdated),
