Example Sentences
- "A “bail-in” process for bank resolution is a potentially powerful “third option” that confronts this problem head-on. It would give officials the authority to force banks to recapitalise from within, using private capital, not public money."
- "Alternatively, where losses are not completely transferred to other creditors, the resolution fund can provide a contribution to the bank in order to cover the losses not absorbed through the bail-in and the capital shortfall, as well as to buy shares or other capital instruments of the bank under resolution in order to recapitalise it."
