| 14:00–15:00 | Session 2 Financial safety nets: Practices and experiences in establishing resolution funds and deposit insurance funds – together or apart? This session will explore the implications of governance structures and the importance of effective coordination among financial safety-net participants. The recent review of the Core Principles has reinforced the role of deposit insurers in deciding on the use of their funds for the purposes going beyond depositor reimbursement. It has also highlighted the need for robust cooperation arrangements between deposit insurers, resolution authorities, and other safety-net participants. The discussion will delve into governance frameworks and operational criteria that can be essential for the availability of resolution funding and the conditions for its use. This is of particular relevance – given the diversity in practices across jurisdictions, assome countries maintain separate deposit insurance and resolution funds, while others operate a single fund that serves both to support resolutions and to reimburse depositors during liquidation. The session aims to provide insights into these approaches and their implications for financial stability. What best practices exist for establishing robust cooperation arrangements among deposit insurers, resolution authorities, and other financial safety-net participants? What governance structures and operational criteria are critical for resolution funding? How can jurisdictions ensure that resource allocation processes are both efficient and aligned with broader financial safety net objectives? What are the potential risks and benefits of having a single fund for both resolution funding and depositor reimbursement, and how can these be managed effectively? Can deposit insurance funds assume the role of resolution funds? What are the governance considerations Is the conflict of interest in the performance of the functions of the Deposit Guarantee and resolution Authority possible? |

During the session key elements to be considered while managing the bank rise upon a bridge bank will be also discussed. What are the key operational and regulatory considerations when establishing a bridge bank during a financial crisis? How can authorities ensure the continuity of critical functions while transitioning to a bridge bank structure? What lessons can be drawn from past cases where bridge banks were successfully implemented?

| 10:30–11:30 | Session 4 How regulators and banks can contribute to ESG? This discussion will focus on importance of ESG in financial sector. Both regulators and banks play crucial roles in promoting environmental, social and governance objectives within the financial sector. ESG is about people, cooperation, our future, diversity, dignity and trust, and also taking responsibility for our impact. The panellists will share their experience in transforming their organizations in order to achieve sustainability goals. The panel will also explore the importance of the transparency in the conduct of business with regard to ESG. Having looked at the banks’ non-financial reports, one can observe that the scope of information disclosed has expanded, as demanded by CSRD – the panellists will discuss if it is the right direction. The business models and business strategies include the ESG goals as one of the main companies’ goals. The session will focus on the role of the management board, as the crucial one to a successful implementation of ESG aspects into the organization. How does integration of ESG aspects into core operations look like in your organization? How could the supervisory institutions encourage financial entities to act according to ESG policy? Do the supervision entities require that the banks include climate and environmental risks in banking stress tests? Are there any capital requirements or fiscal incentives to reward ESG-friendly practices? Did any of the regulators establish guidelines for integrating ESG risks into risk management frameworks and expected ESG considerations in governance structures, board oversight, and executive compensation? |
