On 21 January 2026, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) published its 2025 Annual Resolution Report. While principally focused on bank resolution, the report covered the following key points for insurers:
- The FSB’s focus around insurance resolution will continue to be enhancing application of the existing standards.
- There are no plans for changes to global standards and guidance in 2026, although the FSB will publish a final version of its guidance on which insurers should be subject to recovery and resolution planning (RRP) requirements. This guidance is currently under consultation.
- The FSB’s work on implementation will be carried out through peer reviews, practice-sharing and targeted workshops to drive consistent and effective operationalisation across sectors and jurisdictions.
- In addition, the FSB will undertake in 2026 its biennial exercise for monitoring implementation of resolution regimes for insurers through the internal resolvability monitoring report (RMR).
