On 12 February 2026, the Bank of England (BoE) published a Policy Statement, Bank Resolution Standards Instrument: The Technical Standards (COREP13) Instrument 2026.
Background
The Policy Statement follows an earlier consultation issued last September on the partial revocation of the UK Technical Standards (UKTS) 2018/1624 on resolution reporting (COREP13). It is relevant to institutions and UK parent undertakings subject to the requirement to annually submit COREP13 reporting to the BoE.
The COREP13 UKTS sets out technical standards specifying procedures and a minimum set of standard templates for providing information to the resolution authority for the purposes of drawing up and implementing individual and group resolution plans in accordance with Articles 37(3A) and 40(4A) of the Bank Recovery and Resolution (No 2) Order 2014 (No. 2 Order). Under the No. 2 Order, the BoE, as the UK’s resolution authority, may determine which UK resolution entities and UK resolution groups are subject to resolution reporting requirements.
Final rules
In the Policy Statement the BoE confirms that it is implementing its proposals as consulted on by deleting reporting templates Z 02.00, Z 03.00, Z 04.00, Z 05.01, Z 05.02 and Z 06.00 from COREP13 UKTS.
Next steps
The changes will be effective from 1 April 2026.
Notwithstanding their deletion, due to temporary systems limitations, the templates may remain in the BoE’s RegData reporting system for some time after their revocation date. At present, firms are requested to use negative filing indicators for the six deleted reporting templates. The BoE expects to remove the deleted templates from the RegData reporting system in due course, thereby eliminating the need for firms to report negative filing indicators for these templates.
