The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), following their ‘Principles for financial market infrastructures’ (the Principles) and in response to the ‘FSB Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Instruments’ (the Key Attributes), have issued a report and undertaken a consultation seeking to outline the issues which should be taken into account for different types of FMIs when implementing effective recovery plans and resolution regimes.
The CPSS-IOSCO report concluded that: (1) it is vital for robust arrangements be maintained for the recovery and resolution of FMIs; (2) the Principles set out a framework for FMIs to have rules and policies for their recovery in the event of distress; (3) regulators need to ensure that those rules and policies on recovery are implemented; (4) in the event of recovery procedures failing, the FSB Key Attributes provide a framework for resolution; and (5) the methodology for compliance with the Key Attributes currently being prepared by the FSB will need to contain FMI-specific elements.
CPSS and IOSCO are currently considering comments received and are due to publish further work during late 2012.
