Detail of outcome

This document summaries the responses received for the consultation on the implementation of bail-in powers.

The 3 draft orders consulted on were:

• the Banking Act (Restriction of Special Bail-in Provision etc) Order
• the Banking Act (Mandatory Compensation Arrangements Following Bail-in) Regulations
• the Building Societies (Bail-in) Order

These draft orders and regulations restrict the use of bail-in powers in relation to certain financial contracts, require arrangements to be made for compensation following bail-in, and apply the bail-in tool to building societies. These instruments are being made as part of the UK’s transposition of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive. They will come into force on 1 January 2015.

Original consultation

Summary

A consultation on the implementation of the bail-in powers introduced by the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013

This consultation ran from
13 March 2014 to 11:59pm on 6 May 2014

Consultation description

This consultation seeks views on three draft Orders required for bail-in implementation. They are:

• the application of bail-in to building societies
• the safeguards to protect certain financial arrangements from bail-in powers
• the mandatory compensation arrangements to ensure no creditor is left in a worse position following bail-in that they would have been in insolvency

The consultation also seeks industry views on three other issues:

• a proposal to align the creditor hierarchy of banks and building societies through early transposition of the depositor preference provisions on the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD)
• a proposal to implement changes to the Financial Collateral Arrangements Directive (FCAD) as set out in the BRRD
• applying the bail-in tool to banking group companies
