When the financial crisis hit, banks discovered their recovery arrangements were untested assumptions. The reforms that followed — the BRRD among them — require every bank to hold clear, tested strategies for recovering from severe stress, complementing ring-fencing and higher capital and liquidity requirements in lowering the probability of failure. This intensive two-day masterclass covers the tools and techniques used to create and manage a Recovery and Resolution Plan, and the real-life challenges institutions meet in the process: credible recovery options, quantitative and qualitative triggers, layered early-warning indicators, reverse stress testing, and the conceptual and operational issues in restructuring and resolving weak banks.

Frequently asked
What does the masterclass cover on the BRRD and recovery planning?
It works through the BRRD in full — scope, objectives, powers and resolution tools — alongside the components of a credible recovery and resolution plan: recovery options, impact assessment on financial indicators, early intervention and the conceptual and operational issues in restructuring and resolving weak banks.
How are recovery triggers and reverse stress testing handled?
The cohort sets quantitative and qualitative triggers with layered early-warning indicators that fire before it is too late, links risk appetite and tolerance to bank risk budgeting so thresholds mean something, and applies reverse stress testing to locate the scenarios that would break the institution — then calibrates triggers against those results.
Who should attend the recovery and resolution planning course?
Heads of recovery, CROs and heads of risk; heads of treasury, balance-sheet management, ALM and market risk; ICAAP and ILAAP programme directors and project managers; BRRD teams, capital management, finance and compliance leads; and senior executives, business heads and regulators.
