The Steering Committee Of Vienna 2 Delivers Observations On Cross-border Bank Resolution To European Authorities

Date 18/01/2013

The Steering Committee of the Vienna Initiative 2 submitted observations on cross-border resolution to a number of European authorities. These observations focused on critical aspects of home-host cooperation, which are of particular importance for countries in Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europe (CESEE), where locally systemic affiliates of foreign banks operate. The aim is to provide input for the ongoing discussions on the design of the European financial stability framework and to communicate general concerns of host as well as of home countries. Some specific features of the CESEE countries make the cross-border resolution process particularly challenging in this region. These include the systemic importance of subsidiaries (or branches) of euro zone based banks in their local markets, and the fact that subsidiaries in many cases rely on the parent bank not only for funding support but also for all major strategic and financial decisions.
