Will the new EU banking resolution framework protect taxpayers’ money? - Dominique Laboureix in The Banker


In April 2023, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal to update the 2014 bank crisis-management framework. The new rules, despite not being finalised, are already causing a stir among practitioners and banks.

During the 2007–09 global financial crisis, €213bn of taxpayers’ money was lost as a result of EU bank rescues. The bloc tried to bring an end to taxpayer-funded bailouts when it adopted the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) in 2014 and established the Single Resolution Board (SRB) in 2015 as the central resolution authority in the euro area.
