Application Paper on Resolution Powers and Planning

The Application Paper on Resolution Powers and Planning provides guidance for supervisors and resolution authorities in implementing a resolution framework, including setting up powers, as well as planning and issues around coordination and cooperation.

Recovery and resolution frameworks help reduce the likelihood of a disorderly failure of insurers, as well as the potential adverse impacts of such a failure on policyholders and/or financial stability.
