Abstract
This paper discusses how the Key Attributes could be implemented proportionally in non-FSB member jurisdictions in light of the structure and complexity of the banking sectors and the capacity of the authorities in those countries. The focus of this paper is on resolution regimes for banks, as banks are likely to be the main source of systemic risk in most non-FSB member countries.

Publication Analyzing Banking Risk : A Framework for Assessing Corporate Governance and Risk Management, Third Edition(World Bank, 2009-04-01)This publication aims to complement existing methodologies by establishing a comprehensive framework for the assessment of banks, not only by using financial data, but also by considering corporate governance. It argues that each of the key players in the corporate governance process (such as shareholders, directors, executive managers, and internal and external auditors) is responsible for some component of financial and operational risk management. Following a holistic overview of bank analysis in chapter two, the importance of banking supervision in the context of corporate governance is discussed in chapter three. This chapter also considers the partnership approach and the emerging framework for corporate governance and risk management, as well as the identification and allocation of tasks as part of the risk management process. The framework for risk management is further discussed in chapters four through eleven.Publication Resolution of Failed Banks by Deposit Insurers : Cross-Country Evidence(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2006-05)There is a wide cross-country variation in the institutional structure of bank failure resolution, including the role of the deposit insurer. The authors use quantitative analysis for 57 countries and discuss specific country cases to illustrate this variation. Using data for over 1,700 banks across 57 countries, they show that banks in countries where the deposit insurer has the responsibility of intervening failed banks and the power to revoke membership in the deposit insurance scheme are more stable and less likely to become insolvent. Involvement of the deposit insurer in bank failure resolution thus dampens the negative effect that deposit insurance has on banks' risk taking.Publication European and Best Practice Bank Resolution Mechanisms : An Assessment and Recommendations for Policy and Legal Reforms(Washington, DC, 2012-03-20)The process of bank resolution, or the procedure for handling insolvency of banks using a range of tools, including alternatives to standard bankruptcy processes, has gained major traction since the experience of the 2008-09 financial crisis. In this context, this report reviews models for bank resolution that provide increased flexibility and describes several of the supervisory, legal and instrumental tools that can be used under modernized bank resolution procedures. As well, it looks at the recent European Commission proposals on this matter which take into account international best practices experiences. It also highlights areas of reform and areas where further regulatory considerations and priorities should be considered. The report reviews the bank resolution regimes of a group of European countries as well as those of two non-EU countries to highlight advantages as well as gaps in the legal and regulatory frameworks. This report surveys the banking and deposit insurance laws of six European countries : Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, the U.K., and Croatia. Remedial enforcement measures for distressed banks and for bank resolution reveals that adoption of the EU legislative proposals, as described in the EC Communication, would require significant changes in legislation in four of the six countries. The report also reviews the laws of Canada and the U.S. for comparison, as implementation of their laws has already utilized several of the resolution instruments and mechanisms being considered.Publication The Incentive-Compatible Design of Deposit Insurance and Bank Failure Resolution : Concepts and Country Studies(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2003-05)Deposit insurance schemes and bank failure resolution systems are asked to fulfill conflicting public policy objectives: on the one hand, they are supposed to protect small depositors and prevent contagion risks from bank runs; on the other hand, they are supposed to minimize aggressive risk taking by banks. Beck discusses the incentive-compatible design and interaction of both components of the financial safety net and describes and compares three countries with different safety net arrangements-Brazil, Germany, and Russia.Publication Strengthening Safeguards in Bank Resolution Frameworks in Emerging and Developing Countries(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-05-05)The paper will focus on the resolution frameworks of a sample of 12 countries taken from 6 regions. The review of the sample countries is used to analyze issues that may be relevant for other countries and to discuss potential challenges faced in implementing effective safeguards. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: Section two discusses the rationale for significant powers given to the resolution authority under the key attributes and the far-reaching implications of these powers. Section three offers a brief overview of the safeguards that are incorporated in the key attributes, describes the rationale and intent of each safeguard and how to implement them to support an efficient bank resolution framework. Section four reviews the observed features of safeguards of current resolution regimes in 11 emerging and developing countries, and one country that developed into an advanced economy, to identify potential areas where implementing effective safeguards may require significant changes in various aspects of the local jurisprudence. Building upon the observations made in section four, section five aims to provide guidance for designing sound safeguards in bank resolution frameworks of emerging and developing countries. The paper ends with a section highlighting the key take-aways.

Publication Simple Tools to Assist in the Resolution of Troubled Banks(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2012-01)This toolkit is designed to assist authorities in resolving troubled banks. It provides generic forms that can be adapted for use in planning supervisory actions or implementing resolution processes. This toolkit contains forms that are generic and will need to be tailored to the particular country laws and circumstances. The toolkit also contains a least cost or lesser cost model and explanatory guide that provide diagnostic tools to assist authorities in estimating the costs of various resolution methods. The least cost or lesser cost model can also be used to value various assets that may be offered for sale as part of the resolution process. In some circumstances, the decision will be made to liquidate a bank at the end of a long period of utilizing other supervisory tools to try to rehabilitate the bank, thereby providing the authorities with adequate time to gather information about the problem bank and prepare a plan for its closure. In other circumstances, the authorities will have little time to plan for a bank's closing and will have to rely on their general crisis preparedness tools to handle the resolution process as efficiently as possible. Whichever circumstances are present, planning for bank resolution should be part of a country's overall strategy for its financial sector.Publication Global Trends in AI Governance(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-05)As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integral to global economies and societies, the need for effective AI governance has never been more urgent. The rapid advancement in AI technologies and their widespread adoption across many sectors, such as healthcare, finance, agriculture, and public administration, presents unprecedented opportunities and significant risks. Ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in a manner that is ethical, transparent, and accountable requires robust governance frameworks that can keep pace with technological evolution. This report explores the emerging landscape of AI governance, providing policymakers with an overview of key considerations, challenges, and global approaches to regulating and governing AI. It examines the foundational elements necessary for thriving local AI ecosystems, such as reliable digital infrastructure, a stable and sufficient power supply, supportive policies for digital development, and investment in local talent. As countries navigate this complex landscape, the report highlights the need to encourage innovation by mitigating risks like bias, privacy violations, and lack of transparency, emphasizing the importance of sustainable growth and responsible AI governance.Publication An Investment Framework for Nutrition(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2017-04-12)The report estimates the costs, impacts and financing scenarios to achieve the World Health Assembly global nutrition targets for stunting, anemia in women, exclusive breastfeeding and the scaling up of the treatment of severe wasting among young children. To reach these four targets, the world needs $70 billion over 10 years to invest in high-impact nutrition-specific interventions. This investment would have enormous benefits: 65 million cases of stunting and 265 million cases of anemia in women would be prevented in 2025 as compared with the 2015 baseline. In addition, at least 91 million more children would be treated for severe wasting and 105 million additional babies would be exclusively breastfed during the first six months of life over 10 years. Altogether, achieving these targets would avert at least 3.7 million child deaths. Every dollar invested in this package of interventions would yield between $4 and $35 in economic returns, making investing in early nutrition one of the best value-for-money development actions. Although some of the targets—especially those for reducing stunting in children and anemia in women—are ambitious and will require concerted efforts in financing, scale-up, and sustained commitment, recent experience from several countries suggests that meeting these targets is feasible. These investments in the critical 1000 day window of early childhood are inalienable and portable and will pay lifelong dividends – not only for children directly affected but also for us all in the form of more robust societies – that will drive future economies.Publication Business Ready 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-03)Business Ready (B-READY) is a new World Bank Group corporate flagship report that evaluates the business and investment climate worldwide. It replaces and improves upon the Doing Business project. B-READY provides a comprehensive data set and description of the factors that strengthen the private sector, not only by advancing the interests of individual firms but also by elevating the interests of workers, consumers, potential new enterprises, and the natural environment. This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.Publication Rwanda Economic Update, April 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-01)Rwanda’s economy remained resilient in 2024, with GDP growth reaching 8.9 percent, driven by strong performances in services, industry, and a rebound in agriculture. Despite strong export growth, the current account deficit widened due to decline in official transfers. This necessitated continued reliance on forex inflows from FDI and external concessional borrowing. Inflation moderated, averaging 4.8 percent in 2024, due to lower food prices and tight monetary policy, allowing the central bank to ease interest rates by reducing the Central Bank Rate (CBR) from 7.5 percent to 6.5 percent in 2024. The fiscal position improved with higher tax collections supporting fiscal consolidation, though public debt is projected to peak at 80 percent of GDP in 2025, despite reduced borrowing needs, before gradually declining, driven by past deficits and exchange rate depreciation. Rwanda’s agriculture sector remains a cornerstone of the economy, employing 43 percent of the workforce and contributing 27 percent to GDP. Despite diversification beyond traditional cash crops like coffee and tea, agricultural productivity remains constrained by land fragmentation, limited mechanization, post-harvest losses, and climate change impacts. While agricultural exports account for 37 percent of total export revenues, trade remains vulnerable to price fluctuations, and regional market integration is underdeveloped. The sector has much more potential to deliver higher growth, better jobs and boost forex earnings. Part 2 of this report focuses on how to unlock this potential. It examines key drivers of agricultural productivity, including input use, irrigation expansion, mechanization, and digital innovation, while evaluating persistent challenges such as limited access to finance, weak extension services, and climate vulnerability. It assesses policy efforts under the Fifth Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation (PSTA5), which aims to modernize production, enhance market access, and transition toward a more private sector-driven model. Key recommendations include strengthening seed systems, expanding irrigation, investing in agro-logistics, improving financial access, and implementing regulatory reforms to attract private investment. By addressing these structural bottlenecks and aligning policies with regional and global trade opportunities in the East African Community (EAC) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Rwanda can build a resilient, competitive, and sustainable agri-food sector that supports economic transformation and food security.
