FSB Publishes Assessment Methodology for the Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes

On 28 August 2013, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) published a press release announcing the launch of a proposed Assessment Methodology for the Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions.  The Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions (‘the Key Attributes’) were endorsed by G20 Leaders at the Cannes Summit in November 2011 as the international standard for resolution regimes. The Key Attributes sets out the core elements that the FSB considers to be necessary for an effective resolution regime.

The FSB developed the draft methodology to facilitate the objective and consistent assessment of a jurisdiction’s compliance with the Key Attributes and to assist jurisdictions in the implementation of legislative reforms.  The methodology proposes a set of assessment criteria for each Key Attribute and includes examples and explanatory notes to guide their interpretation.  The FSB welcomes comments on the draft methodology by 31 October 2013.
