Dewatripont, Mathias and Nguyen, Gregory and Praet, Petr and Sapir, Andre. (2010) The role of state aid control in improving bank resolution in Europe. Bruegel Policy Contribution 2010/04, May 10. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
The financial crisis exposed Europe’s inadequacy in developing an effective banking resolution framework that could bring together national authorities and set guidelines for their coordination. The European Commission, through its assessment of state aid cases, managed to avoid single market distortions and mitigate moral hazard. This Policy Contribution explains why in the long-term Europe needs a single resolution authority. The authors....show how in the short-term, the European Commission, through its state aid control discipline, can set the foundation for a new crisis resolution architecture. It can act as a substitute to improve coordination among member states and complement a European resolution authority once it is set up.
