SRB 2026 work programme

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) has published its 2026 work programme, outlining key priorities and building on the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) Vision 2028 strategy. The SRB will focus on advancing further the operationalisation of resolution tools and apply revised methodologies, including the revamped resolvability assessment and dry runs in close cooperation with the national resolution authorities. It will also implement the new multi-annual testing framework established under EBA guidelines to ensure banks' resolvability capabilities remain adequate over time. Further, the SRB will support EU and global policy debates on simplification initiatives without compromising on resolvability and contribute to regulatory work on the implementation of the crisis management and deposit insurance (CMDI) framework, completion of the Banking Union as part of the Savings and Investment Union, digitalisation in financial services, the macroprudential framework review and other global developments.

Additionally, the SRB will host its first international economic conference to foster dialogue on resolution policy and competitiveness in the EU financial sector. The overarching goal is to ensure banks are resolvable not only in theory but in practice. The SRB will also intensify efforts to streamline decision-making processes and to foster a shared SRM culture together with national resolution authorities. Other priorities include advancing digital transformation through a Data Quality Framework, accelerating key data initiatives, conducting a mid-term review of the SRM Vision 2028 and progressing HR initiatives on mobility, talent management and diversity and inclusion.
