On 29 September 2026 the CSSF’s Resolution Board published Circular CSSF-CODERES 26/22, which launches the Single Resolution Board’s data collection for the 2027 contribution period of the Single Resolution Fund (SRF). The circular requires Luxembourg credit institutions within the Single Resolution Mechanism to send the SRB’s 2027 Data Reporting Form (DRF) to the CSSF in…
On 17 September 2026, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) published its Operational Guidance for Banks on Communication in Resolution, together with a Communication Testing Supplement to its resolvability testing guidance.
