Deposit Protection and Bank Resolution - Hardcover

Her knowledge and expertise is much in evidence in this comprehensive, thoroughly researched and scholarly treatment of the deposit protection and bank resolution regimes in the EU and UK ... it will be of value to those involved in the financial services sector or its regulation, be they lawyers, regulators, economists of policy-makers. (C. Ian Kyer, Banking & Finance Law Review)

This topical and accessible work analyses the deposit protection and bank resolution regimes in the EU and UK. The book examines key amendments to the regulatory framework post crisis, such as the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, and the impact of these changes on banks, legal practitioners and regulators. The book provides an assessment of current deposit protection schemes and insurance in the context of financial stability, and highlights the UK regime's limitations in relation to the US and EU systems, and possible areas for reform.

All issues relating to deposit protection schemes are covered, providing a comprehensive analysis and comparison between the UK, EU and US regimes. Most importantly, a novel approach is followed, which addresses the much discussed objective of financial stability from a different perspective: by enhancing and focusing on depositor protection.
