Bank resolution may be challenging, but what about the resolution of state-owned banks? In this podcast, Bert Van Roosebeke (IADI Secretariat, Basel) is joined by Danilo Palermo (World Bank) and Bruno Meyerhof Salama (UC Berkeley Law School) to discuss the resolution of such banks.

In this podcast, Bert Van Roosebeke (IADI Secretariat, Basel) is joined by Jan Nolte (International Monetary Fund) to discuss e-money and how deposit insurers can play a role in protecting financial systems and consumers. The discussion is (in part) motivated by a recent IMF Departmental Paper, suggesting that with the growing importance of e-money issuers, a comprehensive, robust framework for regulation and safeguarding customer funds is critical.

In this podcast, Bert Van Roosebeke (IADI Secretariat, Basel) is joined by Julien Reid (Autorité des marchés financiers, Québec) to discuss how financial cooperatives are different from traditional banks and how this affects the work by IADI on resolution. Julien Reid explains the recent Guidance issued by IADI which aims at finding ways to maintain the cooperative nature also after resolution. He explains how activities by umbrella organisations, institutional protection schemes, deposit insurers and resolution authorities can contribute to that. Finally, Julien talks about IADI cooperation with the FSB on these issues and relevant future work.
