Course Description

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the legal and regulatory framework surrounding the resolution and recovery of investment firms and other financial institutions. It focuses on the Cypriot context, particularly the provisions of Law 20(I) of 2016 and Law 22(I) of 2016, as amended, governed by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) correspondingly. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge to assess recovery planning, intra-group financial support, early intervention measures, resolution tools, procedural obligations, and cross-border group resolution mechanisms.  

The financial crisis of the past decade highlighted the need for robust frameworks to manage failing financial institutions without destabilizing the broader economy. In response, the European Union introduced the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) (Directive 2014/59/EU), which Cyprus adopted through national legislation. These frameworks ensure that financial institutions and investment firms prepare for crises, enabling orderly resolution while protecting public funds and maintaining critical services.  

Throughout this course, participants will explore the entire lifecycle of financial crisis management, from proactive recovery planning to resolution execution. The course emphasises the importance of governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance, providing practical insights into real-world applications. This course is ideal for financial professionals, compliance officers, regulators, and anyone involved in the management, oversight, or regulation of financial institutions. By the end, participants will possess the skills to contribute to the stability and resilience of the financial system, aligning with both national and EU standards.
