Granular, unified: MBDT reshapes resolution data reporting
On 5 November 2024, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) published new guidance on the Minimum Bail-in Data Template (MBDT), aimed at establishing a consistent framework for collecting and managing critical data required to implement bail-in tools. As SRB reporting shifts toward integrated, granular, and automated data handling, the MBDT is one of the steps in enabling banks to deliver timely, structured information in both resolution planning and actual crisis scenarios.
Importantly, the MBDT does not establish a periodic reporting obligation. Instead, it is intended for use in actual resolution scenarios as well as in
testing exercises—such as dry runs, scenario simulations, fire drills, walkthroughs, deep dives, and assessments of Management Information System (MIS) capabilities.
The MBDT replaces the previous Bail-in Data Set and supersedes the SRB’s Minimum Bail-in Data Set Instructions and Explanatory Note from 2020, updated in 2022. It now serves as the sole reporting standard for all SRB-supervised institutions, delivering detailed, structured information essential for both resolution readiness and crisis response.
To support the effective execution of the bail-in tool, the MBDT package offers a structured and comprehensive framework tailored to the needs of SRB-supervised institutions. It is composed of the following elements:
The MBDT is mandatory for all EU institutions under the direct remit of the SRB. This includes significant institutions and cross-border banking groups, all of whom must prepare to supply structured bail-in data in line with the SRB’s updated resolution expectations.
The first reporting is expected from November 2025, as the SRB grants institutions a 12-month transition period from the publication date (5 November 2024) to comply with the MBDT requirements.
An additional 6 months (for a total of 18 months) is granted to adapt to the following specific tables:
Banks are expected to revise the data provision section of their bail-in playbooks as part of their periodic updates, in line with this transition timeline.
The SRB has published clear, table-specific instructions for each reporting table. These rules help banks ensure accurate and consistent reporting across all required data points (e.g. B99.00 - Identification of the report, B01.00 - Aggregate view, B02.00 - Main Liabilities, B03.00 – Derivatives, B04.00 - Securities Financing Transactions etc.).
The annexes and technical instructions provide data mapping to previous SRB templates, including a detailed alignment with the Liability Data
Report (LDR), helping institutions streamline submissions. Country-specific adaptations are outlined to support national reporting nuances. Technical specifications require data submission in CSV format via the SRB’s Integrated Resolution Information System (IRIS), promoting consistency across all SRB data collections.
