On December 14, 2017, the EU Single Resolution Board and the US
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced that they had
signed a cooperation agreement which would provide for information
sharing and cooperation in policymaking and resolution planning for
cross-border financial institutions. The preamble of the agreement
notes that given the interconnectedness of the global financial
system, such cooperation is necessary to promote financial
stability in the event of an institution's failure. While not
legally binding, the agreement sets forth the general framework of
the relationship and the principals designed to advance the
resolution goals of each agency. The agreement also sets forth the
policies and procedures that govern the relationship between the
SRB and FDIC, including the scope of the agreement, permissible
uses of information shared between the agencies and the mechanisms
that each agency can use to effectuate consultation, cooperation
and information sharing.
