The concept of Bank Resolution resulted from the weaknesses of the institutional framework for managing banking crisis that were identified during the 2008 global financial crisis. The post-crisis resolution framework aimed towards the creation of regulation that reduces the costs of failing systemically important institutions for Governments and tax-payers whilst ensuring the preservation of financial stability.

This framework is important because it is another level of protection to protect sovereigns and taxpayers’ money as well as protecting financial stability in general. Complex as the law may be, it adds certainty in the market through the establishment of rules which institutions have to follow. It also puts responsibility on the Authorities to prepare and prevent a situation from deteriorating with all the consequent negative implications that this might create.

The proposed outcome from this session is that attendees become better informed of the underlying concepts of resolution and the EU resolution framework, going through particularly the requirements emerging from the legislation. The discussions shall evaluate the current challenges of this framework and explore future avenues to fine-tune the existing legislative framework so as to make it more robust to, first-and-foremost prevent the failure of an institution, but also to reinforce it in such a manner to better handle a failure in a sound and controlled manner based on the recent, albeit limited, experiences in the application of this framework.  Attendees will appreciate the preparation that goes into such a process and also the areas which need to be strengthened going forward. Given that this is a completely new area of expertise, one can look at resolution as an area of growth and a constant learning experience.
