We continue to stay committed to enhancing and embedding resilience as a capability throughout the Bank, via a comprehensive approach which encompasses 3 key pillars: Resilience, Resolvability and Crisis Management.</li>
<li>Operational Resilience ensures the safeguarding of the Bank’s critical business services and their supporting resources, ensuring they can function effectively during adverse events. Resolvability ensures the Bank can maintain continuity of critical operations and access to services in the event of severe stress or resolution, in line with regulatory expectations. Crisis Management provides the structures, capabilities, and coordination required to respond decisively to incidents, protect stakeholders, and stabilise the Bank during periods of heightened uncertainty.
