Consultations and requests to industry

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) aims to promote transparency and predictability by publishing, on an annual basis, an overview of planned public consultations and deliverables that banks will be required to submit in subsequent years.

The SRB is moving from annual requests to a three-year submission cycle for a broad set of materials requested of banks (as detailed in Table 2.2), effective from 2027. This change - applicable where no material resolvability concerns exist - aims to reduce administrative burden while maintaining resolvability. Requests of individual banks will be informed by resolvability assessments, testing outcomes, on-site inspections and the SRB’s evolving priorities. The update underscores the SRB’s commitment to streamlining processes without compromising resolvability standards. Over the medium term, under the assumption of legal stability, banks with consistently satisfactory resolvability performance can expect this adjustment to reduce requests related to those bank-specific deliverables each year by up to one-third compared to the current situation. Moreover, where deliverables remain up to date and to purpose, banks can confirm that when due rather than requiring resubmission. 

This publication includes four tables summarising key requests and engagements[1]:

  • Table 1 - Public consultations and industry engagements. Outlines planned consultations and policy-related discussions with stakeholders; 

  • Table 2.1 - Annual data requests and deliverables. Details mandatory submissions arising from the Expectations for Banks (EfB) and/or the SRB common priorities, applicable to all banks under the SRB’s remit that are earmarked for resolution;

  • Table 2.2 – Deliverables subject to the three-year cycle update. Provides an indicative overview of bank-specific submissions for which the annual requirement will be replaced, based on the satisfactory outcome of the resolvability assessment, by either an update or a reconfirmation every three years. Banks receive their individual lists of bank-specific deliverables in their annual priority letters;

  • Table 3 – Administrative and Single Resolution Fund (SRF) contributions. Lists all requests related to the calculation of administrative fees and SRF contributions.

[1] The list below does not include any potential additional requests made on behalf of National Resolution Authorities (NRAs).

Such requests are designated as dedicated deliverables for the 2027 resolution planning cycle. The submission timeline for each deliverable is specified in the priority letter, with a default deadline of 31 December 2027 unless otherwise stated.

Where the outcome of the resolvability assessment, as reflected in the heatmap, indicates that no material issues are currently identified or that only limited areas remain to be further enhanced, the relevant deliverable will be subject to a three-year cycle and requested only once every three years. In such cases, the IRT will explicitly indicate in the bank’s annual priority letter the year in which an update is required.

Collection of data for SRF contributions calculation/ corrections of provided data for SRF

In accordance with Article 70(1) of the SRMR, the SRB may, on an annual basis, levy fees - referred to as ex-ante contributions - from the institutions falling under the scope of said Regulation. These contributions are to be paid into the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) when its target level [3] no longer meets the threshold set out in Article 69(1) SRMR.

In accordance with Article 71 of the SRMR, when the available financial means in the SRF are not sufficient to cover the losses, costs or other expenses incurred in resolution action, extraordinary ex-post contributions may be raised from the same institutions and distributed among them according to the same rules governing ex-ante contributions.

In accordance with Article 14 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/63 (DR), banks are required to report relevant data to the SRB each year, to enable the calculation of the SRF contributions when, and if, necessary.

Furthermore, pursuant to Article 14(5) DR, banks must submit corrections to previously submitted data without undue delay, whenever updates or corrections are necessary.

In this consultation, common data points from the calculation of contributions are communicated, allowing institutions to verify the accuracy of the calculation of their SRF contribution together with the data in their individual SRF data reporting forms.
