This introductory course provides a foundational understanding of the 2007–2008 global financial crisis, the “Too-Big-To-Fail” dilemma, and the resulting complex regulatory reforms that shaped the EU bank resolution framework.

Participants will gain the tools and insights necessary to navigate the challenges of bank recovery and resolution within the Banking Union. The course delves into the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR), exploring their key objectives and applications.

Key topics include:

Preparation for resolution (resolution planning and MREL requirements).
The resolution timeline and process, including institutional arrangements.
Analysis of the “conditions for resolution,” with a focus on the actions of the Single Resolution Board (SRB).
Consideration of State aid in resolution.

Interactive discussions will highlight the role of funding in resolution, such as the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) under the SRM Regulation and the Intergovernmental Agreement. Additionally, the course emphasises the importance of cross-border cooperation through mechanisms like Crisis Management Groups and Resolution Colleges.
