The Single Resolution Board (SRB) has published its bi-annual reporting note to the Eurogroup for May 2025, providing an update on four areas of its resolution work: banks’ ex-ante capacity building, the operationalisation of those capabilities, the development of a complete and flexible crisis management toolkit, and seamless international cooperation. The note frames these workstreams around the need for prepared banks and ready-to-act resolution authorities to contain bank crises, avoid bail-outs and protect financial stability. It also highlights the SRB’s ongoing coordination with the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and other European and global authorities, and reiterates the importance of having adequate tools to deliver the SRB’s mandate in volatile conditions.
