BIS-IMF Bank Resolution Online Course (BROC)

The structured online course is jointly organized by the Monetary and Capital Markets Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Financial Stability Institute (FSI) of the Bank for International Settlement, in collaboration with the International Association of Deposit Insurers. This course consists of live webinars as well as self-study, web-based materials from FSI Connect and the IMF. The online training will:

explore the common drivers for bank failures and introduce participants to the international standards on bank resolution regimes, including how these can be proportionally implemented;
enhance understanding of the main resolution tools and develop skills on how these can be applied in the case of bank failures;
introduce participants to the most important elements of resolution planning, resolution strategies and resolvability of banks, contingency planning, enhance awareness about the roles of both home and host authorities in this process and introduce modalities for their international cooperation;
familiarize participants with international standards on Deposit Insurance Schemes (DIS), the most important modalities of DIS (including types of DIS and depositor preference), the way DIS can be combined with resolution tools, and the proportional implementation of DIS; and
enhance understanding about the relevant processes that need to be in place to make bank resolution operational, introducing vital topics such as funding in resolution, loss absorbing capacity and operational preparedness for resolution actions.
