### Summary and main findings
- Recovery and resolution regimes are being developed for central counterparties (CCPs).
- The analysis examines current resolution tools in the context of policy, which is to restore the critical functions of a failed CCP.
- Conclusion: the toolkit is insufficient to avoid the costs of resolution being borne by taxpayers.
- The paper proposes alternative policy suggestions for addressing the problem of a failed CCP.

### Policy analysis and implications
- Policy objective stated: restore the critical functions of a failed CCP.
- Assessment: existing recovery and resolution tools do not meet the policy objective without risking taxpayer exposure.
- Recommendation direction: propose alternative policy suggestions to better address CCP failure and limit taxpayer costs.
