WASHINGTON — In a shocking move, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has released a comprehensive report detailing how it would manage the orderly resolution of Global Systemically Important Banks without resorting to taxpayer bailouts.
FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg presented the Overview of Resolution Under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, DC, highlighting the FDIC’s preparedness to use its Title II resolution authority in a manner that promotes financial stability.
“The ability of the FDIC and other regulatory authorities to manage the orderly resolution of large, complex financial institutions remains foundational to U.S. financial stability,” said Chairman Gruenberg. “An orderly resolution is far preferable to the alternatives, particularly resorting to taxpayer support to prop up a failed institution or to bailing out investors and creditors.”
The report explains how the FDIC would use authorities under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, with a particular focus on resolving U.S.-headquartered Global Systemically Important Banking Organizations (GSIBs). The paper provides a detailed background of resolution-related authorities in the Dodd-Frank Act, highlights key measures that facilitate preparation and implementation of resolution under Title II authority, reviews strategic decision-making for the use of Title II authority, and explains how the FDIC expects to carry out a Title II resolution of a U.S. GSIB using a Single Point of Entry resolution strategy.
According to the report, the FDIC’s plan is to use a Single Point of Entry resolution strategy, which involves separating the bank’s operations into a “good bank” and a “bad bank,” with the good bank taking over the bank’s healthy assets and the bad bank assuming the bank’s toxic assets. This approach is designed to minimize disruption to the financial system and prevent taxpayer bailouts.
The release of this report comes at a critical time, as the global economy continues to grapple with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising concerns about economic instability. The FDIC’s plan is seen as a crucial step in promoting financial stability and preventing another costly bailout.
