The update concerns operational guidance for banks on liquidity and funding management during resolution proceedings, which is a core supervisory and prudential matter affecting licensed banks' regulatory obligations.
Low confidence — REQUIRES HUMAN REVIEW. This is purely prudential/resolution supervision with no investment, lending, or asset-management angle; Investment Services does not apply.
Specialism
The update concerns updated operational guidance on liquidity management and funding capabilities for banks during resolution proceedings, which directly addresses liquidity requirements under prudential standards.
Mandatory inheritance: Liquidity is a child of Prudential Standards, so Prudential Standards must be raised as the secondary tag.

TITLE: European Union's Single Resolution Board Launches Consultation on Updated Liquidity and Funding Guidance for Banks in Resolution
BODY:
On 11 May 2026, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) opened a public consultation on an updated version of its operational guidance for banks on liquidity and funding in resolution. The consolidated guidance details how banks can demonstrate their capabilities in liquidity and funding management during resolution proceedings.
The SRB's updated guidance incorporates lessons from practical application of resolution planning and experiences during the 2023 banking turmoil. While not introducing new deliverables, the guidance includes targeted amendments to existing expectations across four key areas. First, it clarifies the scope of Key Liquidity Entities (KLEs) and establishes standard identification methods. Second, it refines methodological assumptions for banks to estimate liquidity needs. Third, it updates governance expectations regarding the liquidity situation. Fourth, it establishes collateral-related expectations for banks in resolution.
The operational guidance applies to banks operating within the Banking Union and other relevant stakeholders in the European Union's resolution framework. The updates reflect the SRB's commitment to enhancing resolution preparedness and ensuring banks maintain adequate liquidity management capabilities during resolution scenarios.
The public consultation period runs until 6 July 2026. The SRB invites comments from the banking sector and other relevant stakeholders on the operational guidance and specific consultation questions. The SRB will engage with banking industry participants and stakeholders throughout the consultation period to address questions and clarify expectations. Responses should be submitted through the SRB's public consultation portal by the deadline.
