The EBA publishes Report on banks’ dry run testing of their recovery plans
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report comparing how banks test the implementation of their recovery plans through so-called “dry runs”. In a context of heightened uncertainty and the continued need for operational preparedness and resilience to unexpected stress events, the analysis confirms that dry runs are an effective tool to strengthen the operationalisation of recovery plans and enhance institutions’ crisis readiness. When used meaningfully, dry runs improve institutions’ ability to respond to stress situations in a timely and credible manner.
