Belgium: Financial System Stability Assessment-Technical Note- Financial Safety Net and Crisis Management, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2018) accessed September 20, 2024

Summary

This Technical Note reviews the state of financial safety net and crisis management arrangements in Belgium. Although actions in Belgium and at the European Union (EU) level have improved the Belgian financial safety net and crisis management arrangements, Belgium still faces challenges, and further actions are needed to improve its operational capacity. At the EU level, the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism and the single resolution mechanism (SRM) are important improvements. The Belgian authorities, particularly the National Bank of Belgium, continue to play a critical role in maintaining financial stability in Belgium. It is recommended that the SRM should ensure the feasibility of resolution strategies for groups with domestic systemically important banks that execute national critical functions.
