Conference: Cross-Border Banking and Regulatory Reforms: Implications for Africa from International Experience

10:00 – 11:15
Session III: International and European Experience on Regulation, Supervision, and Resolution of Cross-Border Banks

The European experience emanating from the global financial crisis clearly demonstrated the need for effective cross-border cooperation and resolution arrangements. Resolving cross-border financial institutions involved ad hoc costly interventions, and tensions related to different national priorities. Preserving financial stability required moving toward a supranational approach. The session will review the case for, the roadmap toward, and the experience to date on a common supervision and resolution framework involving home and host authorities. It will discuss international best practices on supervisory frameworks for bank-holding companies, a key issue in the context of Pan-African banking, and highlight lessons on implementation challenges in limited capacity settings prevailing in Africa.
