Financial Resolution

Definition

Financial resolution refers to the process of managing and resolving the failure of a financial institution, such as a bank or a major investment firm, in an orderly manner. This aims to minimize disruption to the broader financial system, protect depositors and investors, and preserve financial stability. It often involves regulatory intervention, asset restructuring, or the transfer of operations to another entity. Effective resolution mechanisms are vital for systemic risk mitigation.
