Abstract

There has been a range of resolution methods used by resolution authorities around the world, including liquidation and deposit payout, merger and acquisition (M&A), and purchase and assumption (P&A). This paper will attempt to shed greater light on the use of the P&A method among IADI members. According to the 2016 IADI Annual Survey, which drew 124 respondents, the P&A method has been used in 29 jurisdictions and is available as a resolution tool in 89 jurisdictions. A second survey conducted by the P&A Technical Committee in 2016 received responses from 41 IADI members, and 17 deposit insurers in 15 jurisdictions said that they had resolved one or more failed institutions using the P&A structure.
