Resolution Board
The implementation of the new resolution regime must allow authorities to resolve a crisis affecting a credit institution, while avoiding a direct cost to public funds and at the same time mitigating disruptions to the financial system. This regime enables authorities to resolve the difficulties of financial institutions in such a way as to protect critical economic functions with no severe systemic disruption and without exposing taxpayers to a loss.
