  3. What is the Bank Insolvency Framework and how it differs from the general (corporate) insolvency framework.

  4. Bank Insolvency Framework Definition Set of measures that should (have to) be taken by the State Authorities to confront actual/potential bank insolvency.

  5. Bank Insolvency Framework b) Applicable concept of Bank Insolvency Insufficient criteria for triggering actions under the BI Regime: • Balance sheet insolvency: Liabilities exceed assets • Liquidity insolvency: Failure to pay obligations as they fall due • Regulatory insolvency: Non-compliance with minimum solvency ratios

  6. Bank Insolvency Framework b) Applicable concept of Bank Insolvency (cont.) For banks the perception of the supervisor is key. “A bank is insolvent when the bank regulator says so...” • Concept of insolvency as a trigger point: Whenever a competent, independent regulator perceives the bank as potentially (imminent?) or actually insolvent measures under the BI regime should start to be taken.

  7. Bank Insolvency Framework c) Starting point: Bank Intervention Measures from the State Authorities which imply a direct interference with the administration of the Bank. Examples: • Cease and desist NO • Order to change directors NO or administrators

  8. Bank Insolvency Framework c) Starting point: Bank Intervention (cont.) • Recapitalization ordersNO • “Recovery Program”NO- when specific implementation and design are carried out by the banks’ administration YES- when implementation or specific design are made by (or under the orders from) the banking regulator or its agents

  9. Bank Insolvency Framework c) Starting point: Bank Intervention (cont.) • Agent of the Bank RegulatorYES in the Board of Administration(veto powers, etc.) • “Controlled administration”YES • Administration YES(with or w/o ownership participation

  10. Bank Insolvency Framework d) Objectives Primary objectives • To protect the payment systems • To preserve the efficient provision of credit and banking services to the economy

  11. Bank Insolvency Framework d) Objectives (cont.) Preconditions: • Public confidence in the Banking System • Technical capability of the Banking System

  12. Bank Insolvency Framework d) Objectives (cont.) Secondary objectives • Market discipline • Efficiency of the process • Equity of treatment

  13. Bank Insolvency Framework Secondary Objectives (cont.) The secondary objectives become the paramount ones when the bank has been closed (Banking Liquidation) and it is only in this context that all principles applicable to Corporate insolvency apply equally to the two processes. ( i.e. The 3 secondary objectives, plus all principles reflected in Principle 6 of the Legal Framework for Corporate Insolvency)

  14. Bank Insolvency Framework Conclusion The scope of the BI regime is: • Very wide, and • Different from the scope of the CI Regime (similar only in the context of Bank Liquidation)
