  • Bad Bank Resolutions and Bank Lending by Michael Brei, Leonardo Gambacorta, Marcella Lucchetta and Bruno Maria Parigi
    BIS Working Papers No 837 Bad bank resolutions and bank lending by Michael Brei, Leonardo Gambacorta, Marcella Lucchetta and Bruno Maria Parigi Monetary and Economic Department January 2020 JEL classification: E44, G01, G21 Keywords: bad banks, resolutions, lending, non-performing loans, rescue packages, recapitalisations BIS Working Papers are written by members of the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements, and from time to time by other economists, and are published by the Bank. The papers are on subjects of topical interest and are technical in character. The views expressed in them are those of their authors and not necessarily the views of the BIS. This publication is available on the BIS website (www.bis.org). © Bank for International Settlements 2020. All rights reserved. Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is stated. ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Bad bank resolutions and bank lending Michael Brei∗, Leonardo Gambacorta♦, Marcella Lucchetta♠ and Bruno Maria Parigi♣ Abstract The paper investigates whether impaired asset segregation tools, otherwise known as bad banks, and recapitalisation lead to a recovery in the originating banks’ lending and a reduction in non-performing loans (NPLs). Results are based on a novel data set covering 135 banks from 15 European banking systems over the period 2000–16. The main finding is that bad bank segregations are effective in cleaning up balance sheets and promoting bank lending only if they combine recapitalisation with asset segregation. Used in isolation, neither tool will suffice to spur lending and reduce future NPLs. Exploiting the heterogeneity in asset segregation events, we find that asset segregation is more effective when: (i) asset purchases are funded privately; (ii) smaller shares of the originating bank’s assets are segregated; and (iii) asset segregation occurs in countries with more efficient legal systems.

  • Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (V9)
    Economic Stabilization Advisory Group | October 2, 2009 Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (v9) The measures that Governments have taken to protect the financial sector have settled down to a large extent. We have, however, decided to publish a further update on the measures following a renewed interest in developments and the recent G20 Summit. This memorandum summarizes the measures Governments across the world have taken to protect the financial sector and prevent a recession. The measures fall into the following categories: guarantees of bank liabilities; retail deposit guarantees; central bank assistance measures; bank recapitalization through equity investments by private investors and Governments; and open-market or negotiated acquisitions of illiquid or otherwise undesirable assets from weakened financial institutions. The purpose of this publication is to provide an overview of the principal measures that have been taken in the major financial jurisdictions to support the financial system. The first version of this note was published on November 12, 2008. Since then, Governments in some jurisdictions have adopted further measures or amended measures previously adopted. The current version of the note takes into account those measures and is based on information available to us on September 30, 2009.
