IRSG briefing on Bank Structural Reform Agenda

Published 10 Mar 2015

Indeed, the resolvability agenda is in the midst of implementation, and under the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive there are significant structural intervention powers available to supervisors and resolution authorities where there are concerns about the structures of individual banks. This position paper covers the steps that have already been taken under the BSR and the issues that still need to be addressed.
