The Bank Resolution Academy provides an in-depth exploration of the European Union’s Bank Resolution legal and institutional framework, designed for professionals with prior knowledge of bank resolution seeking to expand their expertise in this critical area. Tailored for an intermediate audience, this Academy blends theoretical insights with practical applications to equip participants with the necessary knowledge to understand the implications of bank failures and the importance of effective resolution mechanisms in maintaining financial stability.
Building upon prior foundational knowledge, participants will be guided through the complexities of bank resolution within the EU context, discuss real-life cases, and assess the application of resolution tools, such as bail-in measures, transfer tools, and resolution planning, to address potential financial distress within banking institutions.
The Academy will also look at the evolving landscape of bank resolution, highlighting current challenges and emerging trends shaping the EU regulatory framework. Participants will engage in discussions on cross-border resolution cooperation, the role of deposit guarantee schemes, and the integration of cyber-security considerations in resolution planning.
By the end of the Academy, participants will have gained a comprehensive understanding of the EU Bank Resolution legal and institutional framework, enabling them to effectively navigate regulatory requirements, mitigate risks, and contribute to the stability and resilience of the banking sector within the European Union.
- Understand the historical context and core principles underpinning the EU Bank Resolution legal framework, including its objectives, regulatory foundations, and the role of key stakeholders in ensuring financial stability.
- Assess the effectiveness of resolution tools and strategies available under the EU Bank Resolution framework, including bail-in measures, transfer tools, and resolution planning, to address financial distress and reduce systemic risks.
- Apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios and case studies, examining past bank failures and resolution processes to develop practical insights into the application of resolution mechanisms and the challenges encountered in practice.
- Differentiate between the different options within the EU Bank Resolution legal framework for significant institutions and for small and medium-sized banks.
- Discuss the implications of liquidity risk in normal times and in the event of bank resolution actions.
- Understand the expected changes to be introduced by the Crisis Management Deposit Insurance (CMDI) review in the EU Bank Resolution legal framework.
This programme is designed for intermediate profiles in EU institutions, the three ESAs, ministries of finance, and central banks with at least 2 years of experience in bank resolution topics.
For those without this minimum exposure, we recommend starting with our Introduction to Bank Resolution online course, scheduled for 13 April – 15 May 2026. The programme also welcomes emerging scholars in financial topics and private sector practitioners, including representatives from trade associations, journalists, law firms, consultancies, banks, and investment funds.
Details about the programme will be available soon.
