SRB Bi-annual reporting note to Eurogroup – May 2025

This note is aimed at reporting to the Eurogroup of May 2025 on: 

• 1. ex-ante capacity building by the banks
• 2. operationalisation of those capabilities
• 3. a complete and flexible crisis management toolkit
• 4. seamless international cooperation.

This Eurogroup reporting note gives an update on the status of these four aspects of the SRB’s work.

A resilient banking sector is instrumental to a dynamic economic and long-term economic growth. Prepared banks and well-equipped, ready-to-act resolution authorities are needed to ensure this resilience. The SRB, together with the SSM and the other European and global authorities, will continue to ensure that bank crises remain contained, avoiding bail-outs and protecting financial stability. It is important that we are given the adequate tools to carry out our mandate, especially in these volatile times.
