    Course Description

    Bank resolution frameworks are a critical component of the financial safety net that helps country authorities respond effectively to episodes of financial instability. For policymakers to deal effectively with failing banks, they need to understand the core principles of bank resolution and depositor protection. Despite efforts by many authorities further progress remains warranted - in particular in emerging markets and low-income countries. The course seeks to enhance participants' understanding on issues pertaining to resolution preparedness, available resolution tools, cross-border aspects of bank resolution and implementation of resolution actions.
