Overview      

Central to the regulatory reform debate is what to do regarding systemically significant financial institutions, those deemed ‘too big to fail’. In a recent paper, Dr. Thomas Huertas, Banking Sector Director at the Financial Services Authority, argues that bail-ins are the way to resolve such institutions in difficulties rather than taxpayer funded bail-outs. The paper discusses the technicalities involved in orchestrating a bail-in as well as the key developments which must occur before bail-ins can be classed as a viable, reliable means to resolve a failing large systemically significant financial institution.
