Europe Literacy
CEPS: Single Resolution Fund Contribution Methodology
The Single Resolution Fund (SRF) relies on banks to collect the necessary funds for resolution, avoiding the need to use taxpayers’ money. However, the current methodology used to determine the SRF contributions is difficult to replicate, complex and not fully coherent with the remainder of the resolution framework and capital requirements. A new CEPS study proposes an alternative methodology, which will be presented and discussed during a webinar on December 8, from 10:00 to 11.00 a.m. (CET). Find more information here.
