This is the third and final volume in the ‘New Bank Insolvency Law for China and Europe’ series. The current volume provides a detailed comparison of Chinese and European bank insolvency and resolution laws. Moreover, it assesses to what extent these laws conform to international standards such as those set by the Financial Stability Board. Specific topics discussed in the book include: the institutional framework for the management of failing banks, insolvency proceedings, management of the institutions, bail-in, the treatment of contractual arrangements and automatic stays, judicial review, deposit guarantee schemes, and cross-border issues. This volume also discusses future developments in the field of EU bank insolvency law, and investigates relevant Dutch, German and English rules and practice.
