About Resolution

Resolution is responsible for the drafting of resolution plans for banks and certain investment services firms, for providing advice to the MFSA Resolution Committee on whether a failed institution should go into liquidation or resolution, and for applying any of the resolution tools when necessary. Resolution interacts on an on-going basis with local Authorities and European institutions.

In order to retain its operational independence from the supervisory functions, the MFSA Act contemplates the creation of a Resolution Committee and its underlying structures. The Resolution Committee has all the powers assigned to it by the Resolution Authority under the above-mentioned Act. The Resolution functions are carried out as contemplated by the Act and as provided for by the Resolution Committee. Furthermore, Resolution also administers the requirements emanating from the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR), the Recovery and Resolution Regulations (RRR) and the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) on the transfer and mutualisation of contributions to the Single Resolution Fund.

Moreover, Resolution interacts continually with internal MFSA functions, local authorities and European institutions mainly the Single Resolution Board (SRB), to draft resolution plans for banks and certain investment firms. Furthermore, Resolution manages the process related to Resolution Funds and drafts necessary Policies and Legislation supporting the resolution process.

Resolution is composed of two main teams which are inter-related, Policy & Legal and Resolution Planning. Policy & Legal is focused on transposing and drafting the relevant legislation and issuing circulars to apply European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines. This team is also responsible for analysing policy documents, drafting policies and procedures to operationalise resolution functions set in legislation, and to implement processes related to contributions towards Resolution Funds. Resolution Planning involves preparing resolution plans, based on requirements emanating from relevant legislation and policies, for credit institutions and certain investment services firms licensed in Malta, in cooperation with the SRB.  Both teams are also involved in meetings, working groups and task forces at international and local level.

  • Assisting in testing of ongoing projects to ensure that deliverables are delivered according to specifications,

  • Conducting or assisting with the analysis and preparation of comments on documents discussed in Working Groups, Task Forces and Committees at local or European levels in relation to the resolution planning,
  • Participating and contributing to meetings both locally and overseas, as appropriate,
