The single resolution mechanism (SRM) is being set up to ensure the orderly resolution of failing banks. Established by a regulation adopted in July 2014, it will be applicable from 1 January 2016 (see press release 11814/14). The single resolution fund (SRF) is an essential component of the SRM. It will be built up over a period of eight years to reach a target level of at least 1% of the amount of covered deposits of all credit institutions authorised in all the participating member states. Banks will have to make annual contributions to the fund. These will be calculated on the basis of their liabilities, excluding own funds and covered deposits, and adjusted for risk.
