The Single Resolution Board and the Florence School of Banking and Finance
(European University Institute) are organising an interdisciplinary
Academic Event on ‘Bank resolution in times of COVID-19’. The event
will take place on 27 November 2020 at the premises of the Single
Resolution Board in Brussels [or in an online format]. The COVID-19
pandemic is challenging the European Union and the principles and
instruments of its recently established Banking Union. Fortunately, great
strides have been made towards financial stability in the last 12 years.
European policymakers have created and shaped a de facto macroeconomic
financial stability objective, in which the resolution pillar plays an
important role. Financial stability and bank resolution are currently
striding along the road, and their relationship remains debated. Some have
argued that bank resolution fosters financial stability, by preventing
unexpected and disorderly bank exits from the sector. Others have contended
that the potential enforcement of some resolution tools, such as bail-in,
may represent a risk for the stability of the system. During its four years
of existence and well before the COVID-19 emergency, some building blocks
of the crisis management framework have been challenged. It has been argued
that the consistency of the resolution regime with other instruments, such
as the European Stability Mechanism facilities, and with national legal
orders (e.g. domestic insolvency regimes, safeguard of creditor’s
property rights, national central bank resources) could be further
improved, also to ensure more legal certainty. The firepower of the Single
Resolution Fund depends also on the introduction of the Common Backstop,
potentially provided by the European Stability Mechanism.
 	Will this step contribute to the prevention of financial instability?
 	Will the design of the resolution framework prevent a second wave of bank
bail-out in the European Union in the COVID-19 context?
 	To what extent can the stability of the European banking sector be
maintained while minimising the use of public funds in the banking sector?
Against this background, the aim of the event is to bring together leading
scholars and policy-makers in order to discuss economic, financial, legal,
political and public policy topics located at the intersection between
financial stability and bank resolution and in the context of COVID-19.
We welcome original theoretical and empirical contributions, from different
disciplines, on topics including, but not limited to:
 	Impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on European banks and on the bank
resolution framework
 	Exit strategies for European banks post-COVID 19
 	State Aid for European banks during and after COVID-19
 	Resolution v. liquidation v. insolvency: aligning vs harmonising
instruments
 	Financing resolution, liquidation and insolvency: the role of the SRF and
the national DGSs
 	Liquidity in resolution: central banking, ESM and alternative solutions
 	Optimal design and missing elements of the European crisis management
framework, including in the event of ‘doom-loops’
Further Information:
Papers should be submitted in PDF format to SRB-FBF-EVENT@srb.europa.eu.
Each contribution should address one of the above topics and may not exceed
10.000 words. The deadline for submission is 1. September 2020. Authors of
papers accepted by the Scientific Committee will be notified by 1 October
2020.
