UPCOMING EVENTS
Recovery and Resolution Planning (RRP)
Globally, recovery and resolution planning (RRP) is gaining traction as the way forward in ensuring that financial institutions (FIs) can recover or restructure their operations in times of distress, while placing minimal stress on financial systems and the government for funding. While Malaysian FIs are hardly lagging in this area, they must embrace a new mindset — one that rethinks its current RRP measures and redesigns them to achieve organisational objectives in times of need.
With the issuance of Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) policy document on Recovery Planning in July 2021, the stage is set for banks to begin developing and maintaining sound recovery plans that ensure their long-term viability. The price of rebuilding confidence and trust in banking is steep, so what are the new ways of thinking that FIs will need to adopt in developing a solid and effective RRP plan?
“Recovery and Resolution Planning (RRP)”
In this webinar, experienced industry leaders from PwC and Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) will share their insights on the global RRP journey, the RRP framework and practices in other jurisdictions, and the key lessons learnt in the adoption of its elements. They will also provide an overview of the local RRP scene and how the RRP Framework in Malaysia would evolve following the recent release of Bank Negara Malaysia’s policy document on recovery planning. Discussions will also focus on the key elements of a solid recovery plan, best practices in RRP, and ways in which FIs can improve their resolution planning processes.
