The $1 Trillion Liability Stalking Some European Bond Investors
December 8, 2015--New directive on insolvent banks comes into force on Jan. 1
Senior bondholders will be on the hook for losses on loans
Another year, another thing for investors in Europe to worry about.
The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, part of the regulatory changes since the 2008 financial crisis, comes fully into force on Jan. 1. Insolvent banks will need to be "resolved" rather than liquidated like failed companies, and the cost is supposed to be borne by investors and not taxpayers. Among the new tools is the ability to write down the value of senior bonds or convert them into equity to help bring a failed lender back to life.
