Bank Crisis Management and Resolution Legal Regimes In India And The European Union

No / The paper contains a critical review of the bank crisis management and resolution legal regimes in India and the European Union (EU). The purpose of the review is to use the EU framework as a case study to infer lessons that India could use as it moves to up date its own legal framework in this area. EU was selected because it adopted extensive reforms in its bank crisis management and resolution legal regimes following the global financial crisis (GFC) and the sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone during 2008-12. The two crises resulted insignificant bank failures in EU and caused massive public interventions and costly bank bailouts. The post-crisis EU framework aims to create a special resolution regime for banks in order to improve the process of managing bank failures, while ensuring the avoidance of publicly funded bank bailouts, especially for systemically important banks (SIBs). The EU framework also incorporates the proposals of international standards setters especially of Financial Stability Board (FSB) for the resolution of banks. The EU experience from the implementation of the reforms could be useful to India, which has recently embarked on efforts to update its own legal framework for bank resolution. India is moving in this direction at a slower pace than EU due to the fact that India did not suffer significant bank failures during the GFC. The paper reviews critically the Indian and EU approaches to bank resolution and makes recommendations for improving these frameworks.
