The Resolution Process for a Bank in Crisis: Six Operating Manuals for that Process
March 20, 2006
Inter-American Development Bank Headquarters, Washington D.C.
After the banking crises of the 90's, various multilateral organizations developed and made available to the international community, norms and codes of good banking practices with the purpose of reducing the risks of future crises. Nevertheless, not until recently have recommendations been specifically designed for the management of a banking entity that had been intervened.
These recommendations, are included in six operating manuals that have been now published under the initiative of the IADB and ASBA and that are expected to be used as a general set of guidelines for conduct, or as an operating guide, to be implemented in conjunction with each country's existing legal framework. These manuals are to be used as a tool to assists regulator or bank supervisors in their intervention functions.
The main objective of the conference was to present the six Operating Manuals, and to illustrate with practical examples the interventions made in some countries of the region.
The conference targeted superintendents and banking supervisors of countries within the region as well as other representatives from countries outside the region; bank and multilateral organizations representatives; university professors and other financial specialists.
