Programme Overview:

Global Recovery and Resolution Planning (RRP) is a function of Global Treasury and is led by the Head of Group Recovery and Resolution Planning. The team is the custodian of the Group Recovery and Resolution Strategy, which includes the management of HSBC’s capabilities to recover in a severe financial stress and, if unsuccessful, its ability to be resolved and restructured in an orderly way.

The team is structured to align roles to the following activities:

        i.         RRP Governance and Strategy (e.g. Board/regulatory engagement, RRP training, RRP standards, RRP testing)

       ii.         Restructuring and Management Actions (e.g. actions and associated recovery capacity)

      iii.         RRP Management and Delivery (e.g. Group Recovery Plan and RAF self-assessment)

The MREL workstream (led by Markets Treasury) operates within the RRP programme to support each of these activities. The workstream’s current objective is to deliver remediation and enhancement activity in response to any gaps identified against BoE requirements.
