Wind-Down Plans As an Alternative to Bailouts: The Cross-Border Challenges

Author

  • Herring, Richard J.

Abstract

Bailouts of systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) have required interventions in the United Kingdom, United States, and euro area totaling over $14 trillion, equivalent to about a quarter of the global GDP. SIFIs are deemed too big or too complex or too interrelated to be permitted to cause loss to creditors or counterparties, although generally these institutions are referred to as simply "too big to fail," which ignores some of the most important dimensions of the problem.
