Brussels – 4 December 2017

Today, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) publishes its first multi-annual programming document, including its Work Programme 2018. The SRB sets out an ambitious roadmap for improving the resolvability of the banks under its remit over the next three years. Key objectives include completion and refinements  of resolution plans and definition of  Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL)  for all major banking groups in our remit, reinforced crisis preparedness, as well as further operationalisation of the Single Resolution Fund (SRF).

"We are clearly committed to the SRB’s mission: ensuring an orderly resolution of failing banks with minimum impact on the real economy, the financial system, and the public finances of the participating member states and beyond." Elke König, Chair of the Single Resolution Board.
