Description
Under the general rubric of “safety, soundness, supervision and resolution”, we will discuss Basel Standards (Basel III) and CRR and CRD IV regulations designed to ensure the safety and soundness of the banking industry worldwide and within the EU. Then we will review the supervision of the EU banks highlighting the ECB’s new supervisory powers and its role in maintaining banking stability in the EU. After supervision, comes the resolution and winding up of banking entities. We will further explore the recent mechanisms for resolution of banking entities including sale of business, bridge institution, asset separation and bail-in tools and analyze their impact on financial stability of the EU banking system. The second part will conclude with focusing on a special safety net for the banking entities, (i.e., the deposit guarantees scheme). We will discuss the need for deposit guarantee schemes and its potential benefits and costs along with some case studies and recent development about the creation of an EDIS (European Deposit Insurance Scheme) as the third pillar of the banking union. -
