IMF Working Paper: Crisis Management and Resolution for a European Banking System

Published March 2010

This International Monetary Fund (IMF) working paper states, "This paper proposes an integrated crisis management and resolution framework for the EU’s single banking market. It comprises a European Resolution Authority (ERA), armed with the mandate and the tools to deal cost-effectively with failing systemic cross-border banks, and is designed to address many fundamental operational and incentive problems. It also seeks to reduce moral hazard and better protect countries against the risk of twin fiscal-financial crises by detaching banks from government budgets. The ERA would be most effective if it were twinned or combined with a European Deposit Insurance and Resolution Fund."
