12.3
The liquidity contingency plan must also set out adequate strategies and proper implementation measures in order to address possible liquidity shortfalls. Those plans must be tested at least annually, updated on the basis of the outcome of the alternative scenarios set out in 11.2, and be reported to and approved by the firm's senior management, so that internal policies and processes can be adjusted accordingly.

12.4
A firm must take the necessary operational steps in advance to ensure that liquidity contingency plans can be implemented immediately, including holding collateral immediately available for central bank funding. This includes holding collateral where necessary in the currency of a third country to which the firm has exposures, and where operationally necessary within the territory of the third country to whose currency it is exposed.
