recovery plan
- Banks are required to draft recovery plans to prepare for possible financial difficulties and restore their viability in a timely manner during periods of financial distress. The core of the recovery plan outlines a wide range of credible and feasible recovery options to restore viability, for example to improve the capital or liquidity situation.

resolution plan
-
In contrast to recovery plans, resolution plans are not drawn up by the banks but are prepared and regularly updated by the Single Resolution Board and national resolution authorities. A resolution plan comprises a comprehensive description of credible and feasible resolution actions which may be implemented under the Single Resolution Mechanism if a bank meets all the conditions for resolution. It prepares the measures and the process for the potential orderly resolution of a bank by ensuring the continuity of its critical functions. See also
