Bank Resolution and Bail-in in the EU

WB case studies of bank resolution in the EU

World Bank case studies of bank resolution and bail-in pre- and post-BRRD (Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive) demonstrate how several European Union countries have resolved failing banks. Focus is on the application of bail-in, i.e. statutory private loss absorption outside liquidation. Most case studies also describe other measures used to deal with distressed financial institutions, including government guarantees, capital injections, liquidity support, and the creation of asset management vehicles.

Objective-Setting and Communication of Macroprudential Policies

BIS discussion paper provides overview of how objectives are set in macroprudential policy and how policy is communicated

Bank for International Settlements discussion paper sets out role that communication can play in macroprudential policy, both in terms of helping to anchor stakeholders' expectations but also in influencing stakeholders' behaviour. A greater effort is required to explain the macroprudential policy framework and to ensure that the goal of maintaining financial stability is valued by the wider public. This can facilitate taking policy actions early-on in the cycle, when instruments may be more effective and adjustment less costly.
