02/03/2026 (Agence Europe) – At the end of February, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) published a guide designed to help major European banks demonstrate their ability to use resolution instruments (sale of activities to third parties, creation of a bridge entity, defeasance structure) in the event of failure, while minimising the loss of value of their financial assets. Intended to ensure convergence of practices within the banking union, this guide does not introduce any new requirements, but aims, on the contrary, to simplify procedures with a view to ensuring proportionality in relation to the nature of the financial risks incurred, says the SRB in a press release. It also provides banks with a comprehensive manual for developing asset transfer strategies to reduce execution risk. See the guidelines: https://aeur.eu/f/kz8 (MB)
