European Union's Single Resolution Board (SRB) has opened a public consultation on proposed operational guidance and a quantitative template for Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Reports, intended to streamline how banks evidence their ability to produce a Business Reorganisation Plan following a bail-in. The SRB notes that after a bail-in, institutions must prepare and deliver a Business Reorganisation Plan within one month, and banks are requested to prepare a Business Reorganisation Plan Analysis Report during resolution planning. The proposed guidance consolidates existing requirements into a single document and, in line with the SRB’s administrative burden reduction objective, introduces no new expectations. The approach is presented as aligned with the SRB’s updated work on operationalisation, resolution testing and crisis readiness, including its operational guidance on resolvability self-assessment and resolvability testing for banks. The consultation runs until 30 March 2026, and the SRB plans a meeting with the banking industry and other stakeholders on 3 March 2026 to address questions ahead of the deadline.
